The Bill as Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has taken us through has all of these provisions. It is extremely thorough and well written. I hope we can pass it unanimously. I do not see where it can be contentious as of now. It has taken into consideration all the comments that have happened in its three iterations until this stage where it is coming for the fourth time. It includes how the Senate approves a recommendation of the Special Committee for the establishment of an independent county boundaries commission. I do not know why our friends do not understand that ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to take this opportunity to also welcome our new Senator. He reminded me that when he came to this House, I was supposed to escort him, but he was escorted properly, introduced and sworn in. I am sorry that I was a bit late, I had a Committee issue. I want to encourage him. First, he has come through a wonderful way. There are very many great men, who have been nominated as their entry into politics. Do not look down at that route. Sen. Wetangula, the late Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, His ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, is it in order for the Senator of Bomet, in the record of this House, to say that it is a product of the ‘handshake’ when Sen. Madzayo walked in? The way I see it, if I am not wrong, Sen. Madzayo has received the award of the Chief of the Burning Speaker (CBS). I know it because I also have it. I think we all know that Sen. Madzayo, who has received the CBS has received it on his own merit because of the work he has done in Parliament for a long time.

Is it in order for it to be on the record of the House that someone said that it is a product of the ‘handshake’ or should that phrase be withdrawn? One day, the children and grandchildren of Sen. Madzayo will look at the HANSARD and they will say that he only received the award because of two people shaking hands, not because of his work in the Republic of Kenya. There are many Members who have received awards even before there was a handshake.

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very difficult to say Public Private Partnership in Kiswahili. Therefore, allow me to continue in English. As a country, it is about time that, as a country, we become more creative in how we---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am well informed. Sen. Faki has described what a public private partnership is, but he has not said what it is called. He has said that it is a partnership between the public entities and private investors. Sometimes it is not the investors; it can be different. As Sen. Faki said, there will be merit in having an official interpreter, so that we do not have the ‘ mzungumzishi ’ debacle that we had. Sen. Faki’s description could be different from Sen. Madzayo, even when their counties are close to each other.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was saying that it is high time as a country, a 21st century economy, a global economic hub that Kenya is, that we become more creative in the ways in which we finance public projects. This is very welcome. There are many things that we can do as a country to change the manner in which we have been conducting or doing public projects.
