(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. When I stood here on my point of order, I was very respectful to the Senator for Migori County. I am not going to entertain rude utterances about who was a toddler when. I am the Senator for Tharaka Nithi, the Senate Majority Leader. I deserve my respect.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I almost asked for protection because my sister, Sen. Ong’era, was trying to commit the same crime which she accused me of committing. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to commend the Senate Committee on Education, Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) under the chairmanship of Sen. Mutahi Kagwe and the Vice Chairperson who is here. We are very happy with the work they have done. I have heard it from everybody, even outside this Chamber, that they think that one of the things that the Senate can do differently is to ...

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir thank you for that direction. On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given what has just transpired in this Chamber, which is quite unfortunate, there is a difference between an attack on the Government which is a political entity and an attack on the Constitution of our country. I think we need a bit of guidance in future. I am saying this because I have seen the way we interact here; both sides of the House, and in our submissions. We need to have some code of conduct because attacking the Constitution is ...

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The last statement by the Senator for Kakamega has reveled that, perhaps, he wanted to make a point that he is missing the Senate Leader of Minority. We wish him all the best. Having said so, the Senator for Kakamega is out of order, in my view, because the Senate Majority Leader is always in the Chamber and when he is not there, he arranges with his Deputy, the Chief Whip or one of the Committee Chairs to stand in for him. There is always someone on duty on ...

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will try to be as dispassionate as possible, because the Senator who raised the point of order is a Senator with whom we have history as the Majority. You will remember that I de- whipped him at some point when he was creating trouble in the Coalition and, therefore, I hope that he is not using the Floor of this House to settle scores. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I am going to respond as follows: It is our duty, as the side that represents the Majority, to bring business in this ...
