Noted with apology, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is because I pressed this button twice, but you did not notice me. First was for the laying of a Paper on the Table and again, for the Notice of Motion, I got a little bit ---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we got a reply from the National Disaster Operation Centre (NDOC), which even as a Committee and having shared it with the questioner, we felt the answer is not satisfactory. I personally send a message to the Director of Medical Service after that and asked the clerks to follow it up. However, up to now, we do not have any communication from the Ministry of Health. I know that this is a very urgent matter; it is an emergency, but unfortunately, we do not have a satisfactory answer to give at this time.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I may seek your indulgence, there are figures here, but there also some activities that ought to have been done earlier.

Therefore, we felt that there are a lot of issues that the House will raise if we give this Statement because of the inadequacies that are very visible in it. We have shared it with the questioner.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important debate. Therefore, it is important that many voices of Senators are heard. Therefore, it is important you reduce the time from that long time to a shorter time, but let everybody say something. Some of us are opposed to this thing. We want to be heard.

26 Feb 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this formula because it is skewed. It promotes the old system of just pushing resources to those who have, and those who do not have because they did not have a President or Cabinet Minister at one time are left behind. They will be kept even further behind by this formula. In the formula for Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), there was equal sharing initially of about 50 per cent of the kitty.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Murkomen is just an individual who participated in that meeting. The Motion has been discussed by the House; there are those who support it and there are those who are against it. Why do we not just move to the voting? This reference to Sen. Murkomen is an individual issue. There are those of us who are opposed to it even without going there.
