You never know, the president of the pastoralists may want to launch his pastoralists’ party. We do not want a situation where people will be hammered left, right and centre. I want the Senate Minority Leader to listen to me. He should have taken my offer to launch his bid in Iten because we are peaceful. We would have given him a free chance to carry out his launching peacefully. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is just simple and direct to the point. We need to investigate who are the perpetrators of that violence. I heard Sen. Wetangula say that he will not deal with the dogs, but he will go for the master. This House must go for that master who prepared and organised that kind of violence.

We must punish any violence, whether it ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the same way that there are so many illegal guns in the wrong hands. However, it does not mean that those guns were distributed by Government. Unless he has information that he wants to contribute for the purpose of investigation---

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Sang for the information that equipment was not enough. In the Address by the President, which address I have tabled before this House this afternoon, kindly allow me to highlight a few things which I think are important for us, as a House of Parliament, and as a nation. Two things struck me most from the Address. The first one is a very extensive reference by the President to the nationalist covenant that has eluded the nation and previous administrations for a very long time. We, as a country, may have ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think that we should overdramatize or assign collective blame, but it t is unfortunate that there was an incident when ...
