On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. When I came here, I said that I was still learning, but I think we are mixed up. What are we voting for?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the request for clarification from my colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I think the issues he is raising are important. But I am just wondering whether when the two Houses have an issue between each other or when we have concerns over the conduct of Members of the National Assembly, whether it is within the jurisdiction of a Cabinet Secretary to give directions on such matters. This is because any legislature can act at its own behest or with the direction of the national Executive. I do not think the first two issues are good ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in terms of the other issues, I have a feeling that Sen.

But should he want the answers, we have them.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with those Senators who have spoken because it is quite in order for this House to demand audience with Cabinet Secretaries. In any way, I do not think that is intrusive or inappropriate. But I stand to seek a clarification on whether it is proper to refer to a Senator as a brother or not. You said that we should not refer to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale as our “brother”. But I was wondering whether it would be proper to call him Brother The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ...
