Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Orders 28 and 29, the Senate do adjourn until Tuesday, 8th May, 2018.

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I start by congratulating the Mover of the Motion. I have never shied away from saying that he is part of the people in the legal profession who inspired me to study law. He is a Senior Counsel and a senior member in the political arena, because when I was born, Sen. Orengo was already a Member of Parliament. I, therefore, have utmost respect for the work he has done over the years and the consistency that he has shown in his political career. I am very proud and honoured to be here seconding ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to move this important Bill. Senators who are participating in debate on the Division of Revenue Bill for the first time will be reminded that the journey for the Senate to sit and determine the amount of resources that goes to the counties - though it is so obvious in the Constitution - was not so obvious to many people.

Madam Temporary Speaker, it took a lot of effort from some of us who were in the inaugural Senate under the new Constitution to give Senators the right, duty and responsibility to participate in the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. We were forced to go to the Supreme Court for an advisory opinion; a decision that was taken by the whole House under the leadership of the first Speaker, Sen. Ekwee Ethuro under the new Constitution. We had to do what we had to do. I am proud to have been part of that ...
