Mr. Speaker, Sir, in our Standing Orders, we have a rule--- I am talking about what Sen. Kibiru has said. I have a lot of respect for him. We have worked with him in the County Public Account and Investment Committee (CPAIC). He knows my views on his county.

My only question is that you need to give us direction. Even though the Standing Orders talk of conflict of interest being pecuniary or proprietary, but we have established a precedence in this House that when you have an Impeachment Motion against the governor of your county, you kind of stand down. It is not in the Standing Orders because I do not believe that Sen. Kibiru has pecuniary or proprietary interest. However, you need to advise us because sometimes, it could muddy the waters when it is your county that is being tried before the Senate. Is it in ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, would it be in order to rule both Sen. Sakaja and Sen. Murkomen out of order? This is because it is upon the Mover of the Motion to define how convincing it can be. What Sen. Kang’ata is doing is to convince us as Members of the Senate to agree or disagree with his Motion. A call for him to truncate or elongate is completely out of order. It is for Sen. Kang’ata to determine the most convincing tone and approach.

Deputy Speaker. The question is whether the House agrees with the Jubilee Coalition. Does the House have confidence in Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki? That is the reason this decision could not be taken at the Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting at State House or wherever it was. That decision has been brought to us. It is now upon us to reflect and make a decision that will not break this House.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is a fine gentleman. I have followed him in many aspects of his life. He went to Lenana School and I went there after him. He went to Moi University and I went there after him. He came to the Senate and I came to the Senate after him. Today, his head is on the chopping block but I hope that I will not follow him there.

I want to encourage Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki to go back to the scriptures that he is fond of and reflect on the story of Pontius Pilate who was given the responsibility to make a decision between Barabbas the common thief and Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I have always asked myself what happened to Barabbas after he was released. Nobody knows what happened to Barabbas. He went into oblivion but Jesus Christ was crucified and everybody remembers him. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, you have served us well for the duration that you have done. However, your party has lost confidence in you. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am impressed that you are able to recognize me by forehead because in the new norm that we are in, the beautiful smiles that we have in this House do not count for anything anymore.

Your ruling is not just for exceptional times; it is for the new norm that we find ourselves in. We are told that we must find a way of living with this virus. I want to point out two things. One, there is a saying that when the mother cow chews cud, the calf watches. County assemblies are watching the manner in which the Senate is conducting itself. Many of us have received calls from Speakers, Leaders of Majority and Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) from our respective counties seeking guidance from the Senate on how they can conduct their ...
