Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the question of residence, this is a very important criterion which we should consider as a Committee. The Committee was alive to that fact that there will come a time in the future when somebody will be deemed to have come from a particular county by virtue of his name, but actions and everything else, that person does not belong to that county. If you look at Section 37 of this Report, we, as a Committee, were convinced she is a resident of Makueni. She informed the Committee as follows:- 1.) She was born in ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Chairman to try and scare Members by insinuating that a delay in the passing or the failure to pass this formula would mean that Members will have to stay with the other formula for three years, when the law does not say so? It actually gives us an opportunity to renegotiate and we can do that in a day or two days. Is that really in order? Is he not misleading the House?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not want to interrupt the Chairman, but this is a very weighty issue and our constituents are waiting. He jumped to Article 217(7), but it has not even been reached, because we are now at Article 217(3). We first have to adopt as the Senate, then it goes to National Assembly. So, the question of Article 217(7) does not arise. We are just in the first step of approval by the Senate which is not provided in law here, what happens when we do not approve in the first ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I withdraw and apologize on the use of the word “lies,” but let me repeat myself. With all due respect to the Senate Minority Leader and the Senator for Bungoma, what he said was totally misleading. It is not true. We went to Naivasha, not to vote as a Committee, not to agree with the CRA, but to listen to what they were providing. I objected to what they said in Naivasha. I still object to what they said. If anyone has a contrary position to what I said in Naivasha, he can tender the evidence. ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to join you in congratulating Sen. Moses Kajwang for the eloquent presentation. I saw a man speaking with a lot of passion, calmly. He has also demonstrated his deep understanding of faith and relevant example about the parable of the talent. In that regard, he can be sure that he is in good company. I have been lonely for a long time but I am very happy to have a man who can properly quote the scriptures and contextualize the current debate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to congratulate the Committee ...
