We had earlier agreed that the Statement just be read out by the person issuing and then given to the Committee so that we can at least deal with most them and go to other business.

I seek your guidance on how we can manage the time because we are still on the first one and there are 21 left to go.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to disagree with Sen. Cherargei and point out that our Standing Orders are clear about imputing improper motive and the blanket condemnation of Chairs.

The two Members who have spoken about some Chairs behaving in a certain way need to be specific in terms of who has become “protector of the Executive” et cetera. I am a Chair and Members of my Committee and any that I have chaired will tell you that when I chair, I do so with the authority of the Senate.

I think that is the induction Sen. Cherargei is asking for.

Mr. Speaker Sir, I assure you even on the issue Sen. Linturi has raised, that my Vice-Chairman, Sen, Mwaruma has responsibilities and he runs the Committee very well and I give him a lot of leeway. My former Vice-Chair in the Select Committee on Covid- 19 Situation in Kenya did so well and now she is chairing the Committee. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

We have seen that there is an issue of deputies all over, that people are not giving their deputies work and, therefore, they have to go and look for work. Just have security and give them the leeway. My current Vice-Chair is Sen. Mwaruma and he is exceptional. In fact, I feel as if I should resign and give it to him because he is doing a good job.

23 Sep 2020 in Senate:
Sen. Linturi, if you have an issue with a certain Chairperson, tell us who that is and hold another election within that Committee. If you have an issue with a Member, bring a substantive Motion and discuss their conduct because this House must remain an oversight body and not an appendage of any other arm of Government.
