Nobody was elected to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya to come here and walk out. We are now discussing important matters and the constituents of the Senators

who left are not represented in the Senate. An important Bill has been brought by the Committee on Finance and Budget. The constituents of the Senators who left are not represented and nobody is there to speak for them. May be it is time – especially for the people of those regions – to reconsider the kind of people they elect to the Senate. I do not think the people of Nyandarua County would clap for me for walking out of the Senate. As a people, we must agree that it is not the kind of leadership that we would ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Bill that originated from the National Assembly. I agree with my colleagues who have said that we need to employ a bipartisan approach to this matter. The Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, Sen. Cheptumo, usually reminds me that when he was the Chairman of the National Assembly Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLAC), he was not very kind to the Senate. As fate would have it, he is now a Member of the Senate and he really regrets that. I would not want ...

but we only need to legislate and do the right thing. I agree we should get a member from each of the leading political parties. On religion, I would want to disagree with the Member who said that the whole matter is political. Despite the fact that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will be making political decisions, I think that we shall need religious players from Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you saw the work that was done by the choir in the Bomas of Kenya. They may not have done the political work but ...

Thank you very much. I also stand to congratulate my brother Sen. Wakoli. I had an opportunity to go to Bungoma because we had our own candidate. On behalf of our candidate, I concede that we lost to him. However, that was a friendly match between our party and Ford Kenya. It was a well-deserved win. I congratulate him. Many people have said that he is filling big boots of the Speaker of the National Assembly, hon. Wetangula. However, I am confident that he will he is up to the task having worked with Sen. Wetangula. Indeed, he was the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I withdraw that comment. I never meant to disparage Senators who are here because I have a lot of respect for them. However, the point I was making as I was winding up, is that this is a season of assistants going all the way up. Hon. David Wafula was an assistant to hon. Wetangula and is now a Senator. I was an assistant to the Speaker of Nyandarua County Assembly and I am here. Hon. (Eng.) Josses Lelmengit was the assistant of Sen. Cherarkey, now he is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Emgwen Constituency. Hon. ...
