On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Following the protocol from the Ministry of Health on the 1.5 metres distance, I feel exposed because my neighbour is too close. I think all seats are designated and written, “Sit here.” There are Members who are seated haphazardly. I need guidance because I am exposed and really scared.

Asante, Bw Spika. Ningependa kutoa rambirambi zangu kwa familia za West Pokot na Elgeyo-Marakwet ambao walipatwa na janga hili la mafuriko. Kabla kuja hapa, niliona kwenye televisheni katika habari za mchana, kwamba hata kule Trans Nzoia kuna daraja ambazo zimeanguka kwa sababu ya mafuriko. Vile vile katika Kaunti ya Kericho kuna mafuriko. Kule Ahero katika Kaunti ya Kisumu, watu wamehama na mizigo yao na sasa wako barabarani wanangoja wapelekwe mahali salama. Mafuriko yamekuwa yakitokea mara kwa mara na kuna sehemu ambazo hazikosi kufurika kama vile Murang’a. Kama Seneta mwenzangu kutoka Taita-Taveta alivyosema, pia kaunti za Tana River na Taita-Taveta hufurika ...

Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to congratulate the Members who have been nominated to this Committee, which is the Committee which is steering the House business. They are up to task. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to talk about the Petition I brought in the House in the last Session. It is the second Petition because my colleague, Sen. Seneta had also petitioned the House during last Session to request the HBC to put in place an Implementation Committee. It is important that we have it in this House to follow through the implementation of resolutions, Motions and ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to emphasize what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said about the Liaison Committee because we need a conversation around it. You need to call a meeting of the Liaison Committee or the leadership of the House to look at the performance of chairpersons of Committees and their competency and effectiveness. The leadership of the Liaison Committee is always absent. When we bring Petitions and Statements in this House and they are directed to some specific committees which I do not want to mention, you will never get results. It is high time we had a ...
