Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order. I believe that, ultimately, we are pursuing justice for the residents of the islands. Even though the 60-day period has elapsed, last week we had a Liaison Committee meeting where we reflected as Chairpersons on the inadequacy of the 60 days provided by the Standing Orders. We agreed that it was important that going forward, we provide adequate time for consideration of these petitions. I conclude by asking the distinguished Senator for Kiambu County to visit Homa Bay County when the political climate is not foul or poisoned. I ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, how I wish that the debate on this matter could be truncated and terminated. This is the wrong use of the Standing Orders. I have reservations even though Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe Ltembesi has informed me that there was a meeting in the morning of which I apologized because I did not attend.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to congratulate and thank the petitioners for deciding to bring this matter before the Senate. This is an indication that they believe that the Senate can find a solution and ensure those retired teachers are paid their dues. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had hoped that even before the Petition was read, you would make a Communication to mark the International women’s Day which is today. To mark today being the International Women’s Day, the 8th of March is a public holiday in a number of countries. Today, we have a conference on the status of ...
