(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rarely stand on trivial points of order.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, have you noted that Sen. Orengo and his friends consistently mislead Kenya that there is a person who holds the Office of Prime Minister under our Constitution? Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not trivial; these are the things we are saying. If we are talking about constitutionalism, let them respect the Constitution. Is he in order?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. But the point is that if you are of the age of Mr. Raila Odinga, Sen. Moses Wetangula or Sen. Otieno Kajwang, there are certain utterances expected from you that may not be expected from people of a younger generation. If you go round singing “bomb, bomb, bomb” and telling us, like the Senate Minority Leader has told us that if we do not talk about 7th July, we will have nobody to speak to in this country, where will Kenyans be going? If you tell us, like Mr. Raila Odinga said, that we will ...

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I was away yesterday, some Members of the Opposition raised hullabaloo about the seriousness of Jubilee Senators with regard to the business of the House but looking at the composition of this House this afternoon, I think that you should guide us. I am told that yesterday the Majority side had, at least, a number of Senators. But until Sen. Khalwale walked in, there was only one Senator from the Opposition. I am told that they are calling one another by Short Message Service (SMS.) Is it in order for the opposition to ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Kajwang to mislead the House on alcoholism and yet it is in the Bill? It says that one of the objectives of the Bill is to ensure that alcoholism is declared a disease. Did he read it?

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, further, is it in order for my brother, Sen. Wetangula and company to use extraneous matters to debate a Bill that is doing very specific things without addressing those specifics? This Bill is not about alcoholism and revenue, it is about specific things like when you should advertise. Those are the things we should be speaking to. I suspect without really imputing improper motives that somebody somewhere outside this House could be feeding the kind of unsubstantiated information that we are now receiving here via SMS and twitter conveyed through Sen. Kajwang and company. ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I did not want to disrupt the Senate Minority Leader, but there is a fundamental statement he has stated here which is misleading the House. This Bill is not dealing with illicit alcohol alone. It is dealing with cases where you buy genuine alcohol, then you over drink when you are driving and then you kill yourself or people. There are situations where people drink genuine alcohol and they become alcoholics and we want to declare them as patients. So, it is not true to say that the Bill is just focusing ...
