Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Constitution talks of 47 plus One government. We have one national Government and 47 county governments. I do not know why Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale got jittery when I talked of the government. I do not mean the Government he is holding brief for. It might as well be a government in Homa- Bay County or Migori County.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Oketch Gicheru is advising me to use a proverb that is a bit un-Parliamentary. It says in my language that the person who fouls the air is always the first one to fight and so, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale might be guilty of something.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was talking about the sunset to this particular provision. Let us be bold to extend it, review the regulations and policies. It was said on the Floor of this House. I know some of the characters who work within this space. I have gone to school with some of them and sometimes they inform me informally that the development of the next marginalization policy is going on and the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) is going around the counties. They are visiting counties without the knowledge of the county governments and the Senators representing those ...

discord and saying that the children of parents from north eastern region; Turkana, Mandera and Marsabit Counties, should not be seen in Kiambu, Nairobi City or Nakuru Counties--- These are the people out to destroy this great nation of Kenya. When this country is destroyed, the areas developed, as a result of Sessional Paper No.10, will not thrive if there is no peace. We provide services, agriculture and real- estate; things that cannot thrive when issues go south the way they are in Sudan. When they tell our children not to study in schools in specific counties, they split and ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has been in this Parliament long enough to reflect on rulings that have been made in the past. Even though it is possible to bring evidence to support what I have said, I will go by the decision of a Speaker, who is very prodigious in terms of his decisions. He said that you do not substantiate the obvious. What I have said is in the public domain, but if Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale feels aggrieved, I withdraw and substitute Homa-Bay County in the place of Kiambu County. I hope that will make him ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, my point of order was whether it was appropriate for Sen. Cheptumo, who is a very distinguished Member of Parliament, to attempt to put Sen. Mumma in a box on what she can bring and what she cannot bring because he cannot anticipate what Sen. Mumma is going to bring. She might as well bring the title deed for the land in Zambia owned by the Government of Kenya. It is not in his place to direct Sen. Mumma on how to respond. The bigger issue is that when you are a Member of Parliament, you enjoy ...
