On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you notice what Sen. Cheruiyot and Sen. Sang did? They bowed somewhere in the middle here.

Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, they bowed somewhere here and then went to form a Kamukunji there, having broken the law twice.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have listened to the contributions of my colleagues and appreciate the fact that each of us is very much concerned about not just the transfer of the functions but how that function is being implemented and the resources that follow such functions. Interestingly it is not functions that follow resources, but it is the resources that follow functions. Our counties must be able to do what they need to do to ensure that---

Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir, for the record, indeed that is what I told Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo but it was not before I was advised that we needed someone to reply so that the necessary Standing Order is applied in the next request which I am about to make. It was expected that Sen. Lesuuda was to reply but it was going to be replied to by the mover.

Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir, it is not that I regret, because it happened after. Since I still have two minutes, I can give Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo two of those minutes so that he can make one or two comments.

Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir, my neighbour has made a useful addition in so far as our neighborhood is concerned. I only ask him that we should continue sitting together and pursuing peace. I beg to reply and request you to defer putting of the question on the Motion to a later date pursuant to Standing Order No. 54(3).

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very conscious of my role as the Deputy Majority Leader, which Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale should be aware of. The role of the Deputy Majority Leader includes deputizing the Senate Majority Leader for every responsibility. There is a relevant Standing Order which defines the Office of the Senate Majority Leader and in the same way, the Office of the Deputy Majority Leader and how they relate together, just like the President and the Deputy President.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have never been and I am not hungry for power. I have never been in the situation of Sen. Wetangula and I do not seek to be as hungry as he is. You can see how passionate he was that he is not issuing the statement. This is a very simple statement and anybody, in my own regard, can issue it. If Sen. Wetangula is really passionate that he should do it, I will gladly surrender to him.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale brought the analogy of Luhya dogs. If a dog barks, it does so on behalf of its owner. You could see the truncation and the relationship between the one who was doing and the substantive one who finally came with a lot of passion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want us to look at Standing Order No.19 which defines the role of the Deputy Senate Majority Leader and Deputy Senate Minority Leader. I know the Senate Minority Leader would like to suffocate his deputy, but the Standing Orders already define that whenever the Senate ...
