Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform my colleague that the problems that Moi University had last week are normal. Small strikes are normal. Do not overemphasize this. These problems are part and parcel of life and have been sorted out.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform her that what she is referring to is University of Eldoret which is different from Moi University. She is referring to the problems which have been on-going in the University of Eldoret and not Moi University.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, like my colleague neighbour, Sen. Billow said, before we think of creating more time to deal with the business of the House, we must utilise the time that we have to the fullest. Whenever we have business for the House that requires attention, there are leaders in this House who have a day or two in advance to make sure that Members come in the House at the time of debating or voting. This has to come out; that we need to take our work seriously. When we have an extra duty in this House, we must ...

When I look at my leadership here, they are almost permanently absent. Similarly, he is lucky he is in today. Let us address the issue at hand.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. M. Kajwang will speak after me. He is my younger brother. I also rise to support this Motion by Sen. Muriuki.

Immediately after the new Constitution was promulgated in 2010 - in this Constitution, devolution is a key aspect - A team led by the Ministry of Public Works then was formed to oversee transition.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what was in the minds of the leaders of the last Government is that we needed uniformity so that when you go to Lodwar, you should see a similarity with Lamu County. What about a county like Nakuru which already had the facility? You will realise that this is not the original Senate Chamber of 1963, it has been redone. All the chambers in the counties were supposed to be redone but it was agreed that it will be done in phases. A budget of about Kshs4.7 billion was allocated to complete the works. The chambers ...
