(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to request the Chairman of the relevant committee to comply with conditions which have not been set by either the ruling of the Speaker or any other Standing Order or precedent? For example, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said we need a Statement signed by the Cabinet Secretary. These are new ways of doing things. The Speaker has not either through a ruling or review of the Standing Orders given any direction on this. This House is not seized with a proper tradition. So, is he in ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While recognizing the concerns of Sen. Khaniri, I think it is important, for the record, that this House dispenses with this Notice of Motion or subsequently, the Motion itself. The objective here is to have it on the records of this House. We filed a case this morning and thereafter had a Press Conference where we restrained ourselves. Nothing stops these Members from restraining themselves in terms of their contributions to this issue. It is not even a must that we debate it for long. We can have about three contributions then ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are counties where this question of natural resources is very dear and some Senators had expressed to be part and parcel of this Committee. They include Sen. Obure from Kisii County, Sen. Murkomen from Elgeyo-Marakwet County and Sen. (Dr) Machage from Migori County. I do not know why the Senator from Trans Nzoia is raising his hands. That is, Sen. Ole Ndiema and Sen. Chiaba from Lamu. The Mover of this Motion has no objection to the addition of those names. So, the names could be added to be part and parcel of what we are ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The names do not come from the House Business Committee. It was an amendment on the Floor of the House. So, it has nothing to do with clearance in any other institution.
