Mr. Speaker, Sir, the questioner is already running out of the chamber. Although you have not said so, may I join you in receiving the distinguished young Senator from Lamu County back to the House. We have not seen him for many months. In fact, the last time I saw him was October last year, when we were together in Canada. Welcome back my son, and we hope you will be here to pursue what you have started.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Chair of the Committee brings the answer on the issue of police reservists, he should also bring the Government policy on the appointment of police reservists. We have seen in certain counties, where there are multi-ethnic formation of populations with multi-facets of political affiliations, the Government recruits and arms politically correct communities in the name of police reservists. They then unleash them to terrorize those who are not on the right side of the politics of the day. We have seen this happen in Baringo, Trans- Nzoia, Bungoma and many other places. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, ...

America carrying pictures of malnourished and dying children. In fact, if you look at some of those pictures, they are clipped from the disaster that befell Ethiopia some time back; they are not Kenyan children. Those pictures are picked from all over. They pick a very malnourished child, put him or her next to a child who looks a little better and another one that looks good. They then say where they have picked the child and where they have taken it to. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you look at the people who purport to run children’s homes, they live ...

people that they can be pregnant, have a gestation of three months and deliver a child against all the norms of science. Miracles stopped at the time of Jesus; there are no miracles anymore. Anybody who tells you of creating and performing miracles today is a fraudster. Nobody can walk on water like Jesus did.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will invite the distinguished Senator for Kericho to read a book called The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene, where there is a bishop who tells a trader that when people are shaken and are in trouble, they do not come for me; they look for you. This is because a bishop is just a title; they are not free of human frailties, and you know that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Cheruiyot has never been, to the best of my knowledge, appointed on this Floor to represent Sen. (Rev.) Waqo. She can speak for herself. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the more they try to dispute what I am saying, the more they prove it. She has said that we do not have enough faith and that is exactly what I meant. Jesus did miracles such as feeding 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish, walking on water, bringing Lazarus back to life and saving a son of the man who went to Jesus at night because his child was dead, but Jesus said the child will live. There are many other great things that Jesus did. Last year, but one, there was a scandal of ...
