The distinguished lady Senator from Nakuru has made absolutely no attempt to answer or respond to any of the issues raised either by me, Sen. Khaniri, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr or Sen. Outa. We asked very clear questions on which law was violated, quote the section, the subsection and everything. Mr. Speaker, Sir, be that as it may, seeing and acknowledging the inability to bring an answer that can convince even a kindergarten child, I request the Chairperson to refer this matter to the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relation so that it can thoroughly investigate this ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, road accidents in this country have been very costly in terms of human lives and loss of property. There is a particular blackspot between Salgaa and Sachangwan. You may remember that Sachangwan is notoriously known for over 100 people perishing in a bonfire after a trailer ferrying fuel crashed and caught fire. There is a big monument for a mass grave there. Recently, the President ordered the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) officials off the roads and I laud him for that. Could the Chairman tell this House the contribution of the NTSA to the series ...

Let me just finish. Some people like myself, Sen. Poghisio and others drive to western. As you drive, you will see police officers openly collecting money from drivers. This is what contributes to the malady of accidents. Can the Government come down heavy on road indiscipline to save Kenyans from being maimed and losing lives and property?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate the distinguished Senator for Makueni County for a job well done and for ably moving the Bill. I remember the precursor to this Bill was a Motion that I also seconded the distinguished Senator in the last Parliament. It was informed by the fact that we have a lacuna in the law and the Constitution provides a framework that will then have to be developed into law. Article 188 of the Constitution makes reference to alteration of county boundaries and stops there. So, this Bill, now gives meaning to the provisions of Article 188 of ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not say alcohol; I said, ‘a drink.’ I am sure you drink water; I can see a bottle of water in front of you. People out there do not know that we relate well. The moment you insult Sen. Poghisio, you have insulted the people who elected him and they will rise up. Passing this law is, therefore, a stitch in time that will save nine. The other day I heard some angry retorts from my colleagues across the Floor. This Bill is not about Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., the National Super Alliance (NASA) or ...

In 1918, in a fit of excitement, the queen of England took our mountain and gave it to Tanzania as a birthday gift to Prince Ferdinand of Germany. Africa has been raped by all manner of people. A whole Mt. Kilimanjaro, if you look at the map between Kenya and Tanzania, it is a straight line and when it gets to Mt. Kilimanjaro it detours and curves the mountain into Tanzania and then goes on a straight line again. This was a birthday gift by the queen of England to Prince Ferdinand of Germany.

Mr. Speaker, sir, this House is not a rubberstamp. We cannot limit ourselves to acclaim a document that we are supposed to critic. I oppose that proposal. I am entitled to an hour and I will spend the whole of it on this document. I am opposing the proposal. You had given me the Floor and since you have not told me to sit down so that you rule, I will go on.
