Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the good ruling. I have always said that as a nation, one of the factors that undermine the fight against corruption is the politicization of the vice; where we just want to gain political mileage without adherence to facts. We must be very careful when a person is under investigation in a matter of such magnitude. We must not lend credence to everything that they try to hang on. If that be, we sometimes need to lock up those people in cells as we investigate the people they are The electronic version of ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to say much because I want this Bill to be seconded today. Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo is arguing points of debate and he can do that when he gets an opportunity to contribute. However, he was not here when we said that the institution that will be established is intergovernmental in nature. It has representation of both the national and county governments. Therefore, functions devolved to counties and those to be carried out by the national Government will be carried out by the institution. That is how the Kenya Fisheries Service (KFS) is ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, never before has a young person introduced himself to politics and been thrown in the deep end from the word go. Sen. Cheruiyot has become such a person; baptized by fire, through strong politics in Kericho and triumphed against all expectations. As one of the people who attended and accompanied him in many of his campaigns, this young man, who is barely 30 years old, is eloquent, visionary, was committed to the cause and is loved by his people. He is famously known as kiptoyotkomas kasit.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, many have propagated lies out there about his election. For those of us who have faith in the institutions and the future of this country, this nation has moved from the days of mlolongo of 1998 where in the KANU nominations, the shortest queue was declared the longest. Those who are still dreaming by propagating lies that the shortest queue, more than 30 years down line, should be declared the longest, must be told this country has changed. We have moved to a new constitutional order and have new ways of doing things. The future of this ...
