Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had the privilege of reading the Notice of Motion. Is it in order for an hon. Senator to bring a Motion for action to be taken by a separate body, organization or entity other than the one which has expressly been given the mandate by the Standing Orders? If you read the Standing Orders, you will realize that what Sen. Orengo is proposing is a function given to the Committee on Devolved Government and partly to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Do you not think the Notice of Motion is in contravention of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to try to imagine that I am a “mixed up” person?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is just a follow up. There needs to be some direction on this issue because if we will continue like this in terms of mandates given to various committees then it will force us to be coming here to table what the committee is doing. If you look at the minutes of the last Devolution Committee meeting, and the Attorney-General emeritus is my witness, the list of one of the functions which is listed in our work plan includes reviewing those legislations.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I now agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that issues might have been mixed up here, without mentioning by who. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I am being misunderstood and misrepresented. The argument I am having here is not on the issue. In fact, I agree with Sen. Orengo on the substance of the Motion. The only difference here is the creation of the Select Committee, but in terms of the substance of the Motion, it is commendable because it is urgent and important. But we all know that we created institutions to assist in doing that work. ...

On a point order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I respect the right of the hon. Senator to ask his question, I think Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has mixed up issues again. He has confused the trip of the Deputy President to the Hague with his official duties on behalf of the Republic of Kenya. Is it in order for an honourable Member to behave as if he wants to ask a question but at the same time as if he was at the trip’s planners’ meeting?
