Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I beg you to tell off the Senator for Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. He is extremely mischievous. I issued a statement yesterday which was covered in The Standard saying that the only people that I need for me to win the governor’s seat in Meru are not witchdoctors. I need the voters and blessings of God. I therefore invite the Senator to read my rebuttal statement in TheStandard yesterday. I do not think that those farmers require the intervention of witchdoctors to get fertilizer in this country.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, where we come from, it matters. Maybe where you come from, that would not matter. I understand the urgency of the matter and the blame should go to the Senator for West Pokot, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. He knows the calendar and that the rains come in March. Why did he not ask this question one or two weeks ago? I am not the only one in control of this calendar.If he wants that answer from the Committee, please, give us the two weeks. We will do our best. If I get it earlier, I will notify the ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to express my sincere condolences to the family, friends, colleagues of the late Sen. Boy Juma Boy and the people of Kwale. I had the privilege of knowing the late Sen. Boy Juma Boy when both of us were Members of Parliament (MPs) in 1992. Those were very difficult times, when there was the “Chinese” war between the ruling party then, which was KANU and us in the Opposition.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was talking about the privilege of serving with the late Sen. Boy Juma Boy as MPs in 1992 when he was the Chief Whip of KANU. He made life very difficult when we were in the Opposition. However, over time, I came to know him with Sen. Leshore here. We became friends. We were able then, to negotiate the Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG) reforms between KANU and us in the Opposition largely because of the system, the friendships that we had created across the party lines. In the Senate, it has also been my privilege ...

Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Leadership is what is in your heart for serving people, friendship and magnanimity. Sen.

I thank you.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we agree with your correct reading of the Standing Orders as far as Sen. Orengo’s Motion is concerned. It is incumbent upon you to make a ruling regarding the Motion that Sen. Orengo was moving. You have said that because Sen. Orengo had already spoken on another Motion, his Motion cannot be proceeded with. It is not correct to invite somebody else to move a Motion once you have ruled---
