Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion of having 11 of us look at the evidence that has been brought by Meru County Assembly. First and foremost, all of us in this Senate enjoy the same space and scope of duty. Looking at the list of Members nominated to serve in the Committee, I am satisfied that they will do the work ahead of them. I am particularly impressed that the SBC and the Leadership of the House, have given first timers and young Senators an opportunity to serve in this Committee. My colleagues Sen. Thang’wa, ...

He does not appear to be what people impute. However, I will include him in that list of the young people because he is also coming in as a first timer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not really fair for anybody to impute that because the Governor for Meru is a woman, then women senators be given special consideration. It then means that next time when a male governor is here, he will be allowed to be dealt with by akina Methus, Olekinas and Cherakeys of this world. There should be no problem. It is not fair to say that ...

would then propose that the next time we have a male governor, we probably demand that more male Senators serve in that Committee so that we take care of men. I am a gender sensitive person. I do not need the schooling that was offered by our colleague. I actually do it from home. I am a father of three girls and one boy. So, the lessons are just around my home and I am able to take care of them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, the Senator for Nairobi City County has spoken about it that our colleagues are taking ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. First and foremost, I laud the County Assembly of Nyandarua for the resolutions that they made. I have kept myself abreast with the happenings on the tendering process of the Ndunyu- Njeru-Ihithe Road and now its cancellation. For those who may not understand how and why that road is very important to the people of Nyandarua and Nyeri, is that as it is now, to move from Kinangop Constituency to Ihithe, you have to travel for 72 Kilometers to Olkalou, 36 kilometers to Nyahururu, 26 Kilometers to Nyeri and lastly 24 ...

Ndunyu Njeru to Ihithe, will reduce all that distance of about 200 kilometers, to just 36 kilometers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as my Committee and the Committee on Roads and Transportation look at the resolutions, we cannot emphasize enough the importance of markets to farmers of Nyandarua. Nyandarua is generally a horticultural county. It is very productive. We are number one in production of potatoes, cowpeas, French beans, carrots and cabbages and also number two in production of milk. Mr. Speaker, Sir, despite the county being very productive, our problem has always been accessing markets. It is a very sad ...

On a Point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is really not a point of order per se. I seek for your guidance because every time, Sen. Cheruiyot keeps reminding us that we are young and learning. I have been patient and learning but at this point, I would really seek for your guidance. I have read the second and third schedule of the Constitution of Kenya on symbols on national unity. I have also observed that all public and government buildings must have a portrait of the President because the presidency is a symbol of national unity and to some extent to show that ...
