on responsibility for a statement of fact. Now that we want to follow the debate and understand where the Deputy Party Leader of ODM is coming from and he is a senior official in the party, may I ask that he expounds so that for our own consumption and for our own knowledge, who are these people that he is referring to, that are sending boys to their party? I think it is fair that he expounds so that we are able to follow the conversation and follow the debate.

On a point order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Of course I would not have wanted to interrupt the good Senator for Nandi, but I am rising under Standing Order No.105 on responsibility for statement of fact. I have read the NADCO Report page by page. May I know which recommendation of the NADCO Report he is basing his argument that Raila Odinga should be the Prime Minister? They proposed creation of the position of Prime Minister, but there is nowhere Raila Odinga is proposed to be the one. I do not think the NADCO Report was formulated to have Raila ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, with tremendous respect to you as the Chair, in my opinion, the HANSARD is here. It will be a misrepresentation of facts for you to say that you directed Sen. Omtatah to approach the Clerks so that he presents the evidence he was referring to. When Sen. Omtatah was here, he said that your powers are limited within the precincts of Parliament. What he understood was that you directed him to the technical team, but not the Clerks. Just allow me to finish---

These are records that can be extracted. Please listen to the other people. You can oppose whatever you want, but listen to other people because we have been listening to you the whole evening. Madam Temporary Speaker, the onus of determining which evidence is acceptable to this House is yours as the person presiding. What was difficult for you just to open that URL code that he gave and determine the matter later? You have not determined the matter raised by Sen. Osotsi and many other Senators have been asked to substantiate. I agree with Sen. Eddie. It may be ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not want to interrupt. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 97 and invite you to look at it. As the deputy party leader of the ODM mentioned, we are misusing Standing Order 105. The Senator has spoken on the same matter of substantiation, with your permission, thrice. Our Standing Orders say that nobody should speak on the same matter twice. How do you allow somebody to keep raising the same point of order he has already raised? Why can somebody not consolidate their thoughts and raise them as one point of order once? Otherwise, they ...

I am not disrupting. I am just inviting you to read the Standing Order that says no Senator shall speak more than once to a question.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to comment on the two Statements that have been sought by our brother the Senator for Nandi County. I will start with this Statement that has been sought on the indefinite closure of Moi University. As the Standing Committee on Education looks at the particulars that have been raised by the Hon. Senator; if there is one part of what we as government, or we in leadership must really focus and put our energies on, is education. Mr. Speaker, Sir, education equalizes most of us and has brought us here. I am happy ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is actually very relevant information because Moi University has been listed as one of the academic giants that we have around. That is why it has given us the people who lead in this House, led by the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot. It is very sad that it has sunk---
