Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir for giving me an opportunity to weigh in on the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Kitui County. The statement is unfortunate. I have listened to the Senator for Siaya County, Sen. (Dr.) Oburu. He was a councilor in 1974. The years 1974 and 1975 are early and we may not remember most happenings because Sen. Oketch Gicheru and I were not yet born. Our mothers were young girls. Sen. (Dr.) Oburu mentioned that the most unfortunate bit is that the councilors he served with in 1974 are all dead. I support the Statement ...

A gardener serving in your garden for five to ten years cannot be rewarded with Kshs200,000. It should be more than that. The former councillors are not asking much. They just want Kshs200,000. As we discuss this matter here, we need to ask our brothers to be magnanimous enough. Now that the money was set aside, they should have it in budgets, so that this matter is dispensed with, once and for all. Those were public servants that served our country. During those days, we used to have councillors, Members of Parliament (MP) and the President. They used to deal ...

Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the Committees that have been proposed by the Senate Majority Leader.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in welcoming the members of staff from Makueni County Assembly. As I welcome them, I would also like to encourage them to work diligently for their county. I resigned from being a member of staff for the Nyandarua County Assembly and because I worked so diligently, I am now a Senator. The sky is not the limit for you. You will be Senators and governors if you work diligently. Thank you very much.

My apologies. I sympathize with the Senator for Nyamira County and Sen. Mwaruma. I urge them to be a little patient because they are seasoned Senators of this House and there are bigger things on the way. Sen. Omogeni is a two-term Senator and will probably be a Commissioner in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). I do not see him being challenged.
