Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand to comment on this issue to do with the Press. We, as Senators, have been elected by Kenyans and we are here to represent 47 counties. The only way that we can be felt within the counties is through the issues that we deliberate in this House. We, as Senators, are not allocated money to build schools, dispensaries or even to give bursaries. The only thing that we do is to debate issues that touch on the counties. Frankly speaking, the way the media reports what we say here is totally negative. For ...

Asante sana Bi. Spika wa Muda. Nashukuru kwa nafasi hii. Ningependa kuchangia Hoja ya Hotuba iliyotolewa na Rais wa Seneti ya Rwanda katika Bunge hili la Seneti ya Kenya, Mheshimiwa aliyekuwa hapa. Jina lake ni nzito sana. Ninajaribu kulitamka lakini nashindwa. Nilikosa kuhudhuria kikao cha Seneti jana lakini leo, nitasema machache kuhusu yale ambayo alisema. Niliipokea Taarifa yenyewe na pia nilielewa ujumbe ambao alitoa. Nchi ya Kenya iko mbele kwa maendeleo katika eneo letu la hapa Afrika Mashariki. Taifa la Kenya linaheshimika kwa sababu ya tabia ya Wakenya; ujuzi wao na vile walivyo wakakamavu kwa sababu wao hufanya mambo yao ...

Bi. Spika wa Muda, ikiwa kuna makosa nimefanya, kuna Serikali ya kuchunguza makosa ambayo nimefanya. Kama nimetukana Rais wa Taifa, kuna Serikali ambayo inafaa inipeleke kortini. Kuna sheria inayosimamia mambo hayo. Mhe. Seneta ambaye ameongea anajua vile nilimsaidia Rais mstaafu Mwai Kibaki The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Bi. Spika wa Muda, hakuna kitu kama hicho. Kama anataka nihesabu ninaweza kufanya hivyo. Je, Mkuu wa Majeshi ni nani? Je, Mkuu wa Idara ya upelelezi ni nani? Je, Mkuu wa National Intelligence Service (NIS) ni nani? Tunaweza kuwahesabu. Mimi sitaki aibu hapa. Mhe. Seneta anafaa kuelewa kwamba mambo ninayoongea ni ya Kenya. Mimi nilikaa na Sen. Beth Mugo na kukubaliana kwamba ni lazima tumsaidia Rais Mwai Kibaki alete usawa katika taifa letu. Kwa hivyo, siipotoshi Seneti hii hata kidogo hapa. Sisemi mambo ya uongo. Bi. Spika wa Muda, ikiwa kuongea kuhusu mambo haya ndio kuleta ukabila, basi ni nani ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senate Majority Leader in order to mislead this House by saying that some officers were in the office when Kibaki was there? Was Mr. Kinyua, the Head of Civil Service at that time? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am surprised that the Senate Majority Leader has turned this to a political issue. I am not playing politics. I am just putting the record straight. They wanted me to substantiate certain names which I did. I picked only three and he cannot deny that. Is he in order that instead of sticking to the substantiation I made he is deviating?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Constitution is very clear. It says that all the appointments in Government institutions must represent the national outlook of this country; we must have ethnic and regional representation. Gender is a great consideration when it comes to the Constitution. Why does it appear that I am talking outside the Constitution of this country? It is very clear that ethnicity and regional representation must be considered in those appointments. Why is the Senate Majority Leader avoiding that and yet he is supposed to be taking us through the Constitution.
