Order, Sen. Karaba! Our Standing Orders allow reference to any other language but it has to be very brief and translation be provided. That is exactly what I have told Sen. Wako. That is why we quote in Latin. Why would you want to say that the use of a Latin word here is more acceptable than a Kikuyu word? As long as somebody says that, in Luhya, we could call him this and that, which means this. However, it cannot be a whole sentence or speech for the whole afternoon. Sen. Wako, I think we rest that there.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, did you ask Sen. Wako who will represent the county in criminal matters? Are you insinuating that the county could be sued for criminal activities?

will tell you later that the county government cannot have a criminal mind; it can only be an individual. It is the governor who will be sued for criminal activities. When a governor is sued for criminal purposes, he will defend himself individually. It is not on behalf of the county because a county cannot have a criminal mind. Proceed, Senator.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement is ready. However, we have consulted with Sen. Khaniri because the Statement came a little bit late. He needs time to read and appreciate it because it has a few annexures. We have agreed that we study it so that on Tuesday when we come and issue it, we will have clear information on follow up questions, if any. So, there is an agreement.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Kakamega is playing politics with a very important issue. You were consulting with a member of the Speaker’s Panel there, but did you hear him talk about a Member of the National Assembly, Hon. Moses Kuria?
