(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, my colleague, Sen. Khaniri, who is my agemate, but my senior in politics, is misleading this House. I have always been present, except yesterday because I had gone to address the Tharaka-Nithi County Assembly in a special sitting. On all the other days, the Deputy Senate Majority Leader – who has done a good job – is always here whenever the Senate Majority Leader is not here. I have always heard Senators say that I should talk about myself. We have the Office of the Senate Majority Leader and that is why it has ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have not received the answer to that request. The reason is that we wrote to the Council of Governors and we also wrote to the Cabinet Secretary. The Cabinet Secretary said the matters of security of counties and formation of security teams are not within their confines. On the other side, the Council of Governors said that it has to be county specific; that each county must take care of itself.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, for those who were here yesterday, a question was posed to Sen. Khaniri and instead of taking responsibility, he blamed the Jubilee Government. My Committee will not blame the Jubilee Government. We take complete responsibility for the delay. I agree that there has been back and forth between us and the two institutions. I take positive responsibility for that delay. In a week’s time, we can come here with an answer. If Thursday next week is okay with him, we will issue the Statement. I have also felt cheated by the kind of process that is going ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, no, at least not by Sen. (Dr.) Machage. In response to all what has been said, there was a similar man like Sen. Okong’o called Cleophas who asked a similar question in Luke Chapter 24:18. He asked an Okong’o of that time whether he is the only man who is new in Jerusalem. I would like to---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are right. Cleophas was on his way to Emmaus. I want to give you ten out of ten. The question was about what was happening in Jerusalem at that time. The question was if you were in Jerusalem, you must understand what is happening in Jerusalem.
