(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT. The Order of Precedence and Titles Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2014) be read a Second Time.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senate Minority Leader exudes a huge duality. On one hand, he makes very useful contributions, fairly intellectual input but at the same time, he waters down all he has done by making strange and unnecessary remarks.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The little I know about the Chairman of IEBC as my colleague in the profession is that, he is a very committed Muslim, very faithful and very hardworking. In the absence of evidence of what they are trying to link him to, is it in order for any Member of this House, considering the status of this House and the age of the hon. Member, to try to link someone who cannot defend himself to things that have not happened or is it because this man comes from a minority community and ...
