I forgot to thank the staff, the Secretariat, led by the Clerk of the Senate, Mr. Nyegenye and the entire team. They are some of the best public servants we have in this country.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even as we were discussing about the abuse of Kenyans in Saudi Arabia, on the same day a lady who had been rescued from that country was coming, there was a huge contingent of young people going to Saudi Arabia. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak on the important Speech of the President, which is our constitutional dictate. The President gave a brief Speech.
