long recess. I rise on Standing Order No.111 on Limitation of Debate. You cannot allow other Senators to speak for 15 minutes and others for two minutes. I quote Standing Order No.111 (2) and (3). “A Motion for limitation of debate under this Standing Order may be made without notice.” “A Motion under paragraph (2) shall not be made in the course of the debate to which it refers unless it is moved after the adjournment of such debate and before the debate is resumed.”

Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. First, I support the Motion and the list that has been put before the House. I support the team and also wish to congratulate the team that was earlier here for guiding the House and making sure the business of the Senate was able to continue. Through the SBC, as the Senate Committee on Health, our Bills were fast- tracked, and we passed Bills that have enabled the rollout of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

I have nothing against LSK, but if you look at the dominance they have in the Constitution and the positions that are given in the Constitution, it looks like in some sections of the population interest was not taken and the interest of counties and devolution and the Senate probably was forgotten in the process.

Sorry, Sen. Osotsi, I am not informing you, but rising on a point of order under Standing Order No.105 on responsibility for statement of fact. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when the Senator for Vihiga makes sweeping statements that millions of shillings are carried to bribe officers working in the office of CoB, can he table evidence? All officers working in the office of CoB are not corrupt unless he tables evidence. If he has that evidence, he knows that there are institutions in this country mandated to act on those matters. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Members should not use the ...
