Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join you in welcoming the student leaders from the University of Eldoret. I am grateful that you gave me the first opportunity because, many years ago, I was the Secretary-General of the Moi University Students Organisation (MUSO). However, after my time, Moi University broke up into a number of universities and campuses. At that time when we had the Moi University, the Minority Leader; Sen. Orengo, used to visit us in Eldoret.

Mr. Speaker, Sir I just want to encourage the young leaders from the University of Eldoret that we are going to leave this Chamber to them.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the good Senator for Murang‘a, who is a well-known lawyer and is representing Kenyans in American courts ought to have also read Standing Order No. 98(4) which states that: ―A Senator alleging that a matter is sub judice shall provide evidence to show that paragraphs (2) and (3) are applicable.‖ Saying that it is public knowledge is not enough.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the students have left the Chamber but I would have wished them well. I wish to welcome Senators back from the long recess. Quite a number of Senators were engaged in various types of mischief because the Evaluation Fund that they were supposed to use to keep them busy was not forthcoming. There has been a complaint that there are people signing this House into oblivion. My submission is that we are the ones signing ourselves into oblivion. We are giving away our sovereignty as a House. Not too long ago, we brought in Cabinet Secretaries into ...
