For the record, what the Senator for Homa Bay County is saying is not true. The Senator for Kiambu, Sen. Wamatangi, spoke. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) of the Ministry of Health spoke when the impeachment of the Governor of Nyeri was brought here. The Senator for Embu then, spoke when the issue was brought here. I do not remember a situation where the Senator did not speak. This is because it is a matter of extreme public importance for the County where anyone is coming from as a Senator.

The reason is that you have already ruled that every Senator should have five minutes to contribute to this important Motion. The people of Kirinyaga and Kenya would like to listen to our important deliberations before we vote. Therefore, I am requesting that we extend the time to enable those of us who have not contributed to do so for the interest of the House. I would like to ask Sen. Linturi to second.

There is a huge constituency that has been disenfranchised in this House; the ones that were opposed to the question of forming the Committee. The people of Kirinyaga are watching us and they know that there were issues we wanted to say related to them.

I am asking for your indulgence. Out of the 18 minutes remaining, you should have given us eight minutes to make something.
