Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the statement requested by Sen. Sakaja, particularly about Nairobi. As you know, Nairobi is not just a county; it is the Capital City. I saw a conversation that was going round led by Sen. Cheruiyot, about the importance of Nairobi as a Capital City. Although it looked like it got him into trouble, we cannot ignore the dual responsibility of Nairobi as a county and as a Capital City.

security issues. This is to ensure that there is protection of the national Government and international interests, it being the Capital City and the city of diplomatic institutions that are based here.

Is that in order? It is very serious for a Senator of the stature of Sen. Cheruiyot, who is serving a second term, to reduce himself to take the position of a Serjeant-at-Arms. You need to make serious determination on the matter.

Cheruiyot has not challenged or denied taking the role and the seat of the Serjeant-at-Arms. Now that I am the one who has brought that to your notice and Sen. Cheruiyot is not disputing that fact, could you make a determination for the sake of other Senators like him?

Madam Temporary Speaker, with your permission, I withdraw the word “reduced”. Allow me to replace it with “elevated” himself to the position of a Serjeant-at-Arms.
