Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to just seek a clarification about the actual steps that have been taken to mitigate this drought. In as much as you may send billions of shillings to the counties, we want to hear exactly what has been done; the actions taken to mitigate this issue of drought when if falls. I am also interested to hear the after drought interventions. We lost many livestock. Right now, the rain has come and it has washed away everything including the carcasses that were left due to that drought and the produce that is ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to welcome our brothers and sisters from Uganda. I really enjoyed myself at the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) when we would have to spend more than two weeks in Uganda and it felt like we were home. I was happy with the kind of hospitality we had in Uganda and I thank them for that. Every hotel that we went to, we always found Kenyans employed there in the hospitality industry. In fact, if there is a country where Kenyans move freely, conduct business freely; enter and leave freely, it ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for your communication and ruling. I am happy that this is a House of rules and we have rules which we must abide by as a Senate. I am happy that the Speaker went through and enlightened this House about the provisions of our rules. So that we understand, Standing Order No.20(1) provides that the second largest party or coalition of parties shall be the Minority Party. I do not want to believe that Members in this Senate do not know that some of us are here by virtue of nomination by the ODM ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was just perusing through the Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2018) and the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.11 of 2017) that we are discussing now. I have seen a lot of similarities in some of the provisions. If I may point out a few of them, for example, some of provisions in Clause 2(a) of the County Governments (Amendment) are similar with Part III, Clause 11 of the Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill. I feel there is so much relationship between the ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am just wondering whether it is in order for the Member to continue talking yet the Mover of this Bill is not in the House. I thought he should have cared to listen. Is it in order for the honourable Member to make such good contribution for certain aspects to be amended and included in the Bill when the Mover is absent?
