Order Senator! You know very well that crocodiles are wildlife. There are certain laws and regulations that require conservation of wildlife. So, for you to use the opportunity in the Senate to try to market or behave in a manner that can be construed to mean that crocodiles in Turkwel shoul be harvested by certain people, you are completely out of order. Proceed! The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

Bi Naibu Spika, nakushukuru kwa kunipa nafasi hii. Kwanza, ningependa kuunga mkono Hoja hii. Nimetiwa kiwewe na mawazo ya Sen. G. G. Kariuki, ya kwamba maovu yaliyofanyika katika miaka iliyopita yanaweza kuwa halali kwa sababu ilikuwa inaendeleza mafanikio ya wachache. Nadhani hizo ni fikira ambazo zinadunisha haki za watu. Kwa hivyo, ningependa tubadilishe ya kwamba maovu ambayo yameweza kufanywa wakati wowote na Serikali yoyote yaweze kupingwa na kukataliwa kwa enzi zote. Kwa hivyo, kuhusu Turkwel Gorge Dam, kwa wale ambao hawajui jina lake halikuwa Turkwel bali Tilkol. Tilkol ni jina la Kiturkana kusema kwamba mto unaweza kustahimili jangwa. Kwa kimombo ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.51 (3), which says:- “Despite paragraph (2), the Speaker may, on the request of a Senator, defer the putting of the question to the following day in which case the Speaker shall thereupon nominate a time at which the question shall be put.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, you had determined that today we will vote on this Motion. My memory is not very clear but I thought we would do this at about 3.00 p.m. Considering the seriousness of this Motion and the fact that even during debate ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Bell had been rung. I stood on a point of order and my last request was that you defer the voting for 30 minutes and you were to give your ruling instead of deferring it to the next day as per the Standing Orders. You can accept or decline the deferment, but we are ready to proceed. The Bell had been rung.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not had a chance to consult with the Vice-Chair because I was out of the country. However, how does such information get to committee chairs if they are not in the House at a particular time? There must be institutional mechanisms that ensure we get such questions formally, so that we transmit the same to the necessary institutions. Be that as it may, if you allow me, in another one hour, I will consult the Vice-Chair and get the correct position then get back to the House. Sen. Musila thinks tomorrow will be the best ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, and thank you Sen. Mungai for sparing some minutes for me. I think the subject that is before us is very important and very critical. The declaration of alcohol and drugs as a national disaster is very important in terms of creating the necessary awareness about this issue and also getting the attention of the world, all the departments of the world including, if need be, tax exemptions in certain areas that can help us deal with alcoholism or tax punishments The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ...
