On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether you heard Sen. (Dr.) Milgo say: ―Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for saving me from such madness?‖ I do not know whether that is what she said. If that is what she said, I do not think there is any madness in this House. She needs to withdraw.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Kang‘ata walked in and started making noise. He did not listen to our contributions. Instead, he rushed to inform this House that there is a court proceeding on this matter. Is he in order to mislead this Chamber that there are court proceedings on this matter? As the Senator who has read this Statement, who is also a lawyer like him, I am aware that there are no existing court proceedings in the matter that concerns Mashuru Sub County, which is my sub county. Is he in order to mislead this House? I think that ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had risen on a point of order after the conclusion of your ruling on my Statement. Considering the urgency of this matter, you should have given the timeframe to the Committee because no timeframe was given. As you can note from my Statement, there are schools that do not have even a single teacher and no learning is going on.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, once again, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I congratulate Sen. Naomi Waqo for coming up with this Motion. I sit closely with her in the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration where she is Vice Chair. I note that this Motion has been long overdue; probably drawn, filed and she has been waiting to prosecute it. She waited probably until the two-third gender rule debate in the other House was undertaken. It is as if it was meant to strengthen that debate and put our say ...
