On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the distinguished Senator to say his name is (Dr.) G.G Kariuki when, in fact, doctor is a title but not a name? Sen. G.G Kariuki is his name but he is (Dr.) G.G Kariuki; if you want to---. I congratulate him for getting a doctorate. I have no problem with that. It is just English usage. I hear people saying I am Hon. So-and so---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the distinguished Senator for Laikipia, Sen. (Dr.) G.G Kariuki, that the point he is making is okay. We removed the Senator for Nairobi because even if we retained his name, he would not attend any meeting. That is why we have faith in Sen. Kiraitu Murungi. I suggested on the Floor that when the team goes, my troops are instructed--

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have already instructed my troops that when they go to the Committee, Sen. Kiraitu should be the Chairman or the Co-Chair because he understands politics and the process.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I listened to you read the Message from the National Assembly, I could vision a dark cloud descending upon this House. The Senator for Mandera County has said it all; that there is a grand conspiracy to frustrate this House, eventually kill it and destroy devolution. The conduct of the Executive towards Parliament starts from the issue of Women Representatives. We have distinguished women in this House like Sen. Zipporah Kittony. The Executive buys every Woman Representative in the National Assembly two four-wheel-drive cars, but does nothing for the distinguished women in this House who cover ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, to that extent, Sen. Billow’s information may be right but the voting majority in the National Assembly, the so called “tyranny of numbers” coined by a man who has now disappeared from the national stage because of probity, is with Jubilee. Even if Hon. Wandayi and Hon. Midiwo or whoever spoke with vitriol, if the Jubilee side wants to vote in anything, they will. We are in a position – I implore my brother Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, and I have no doubt he is an effective leader in this House – if those people who caused you ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The ink is not even dry. I just spoke here and said that a stadium in Kakamega County, a CORD county, where they have sunk in a Kshs1 billion just collapsed and the Governor has said nothing. If probity was an issue in our public life, that Governor should be answering charges in a court of law.

On behalf of the Minority side and the Senate as a whole, I take this opportunity to welcome our guests from Poland. Poland is a country with a rich and admirable history, starting with the revolution that swept a dock workers’ leader, Lech Wałęsa, to the leadership that changed and affected the cause of change in parts of Eastern Europe. Poland is a country, if any of you who was a student of history can remember, that stood up to Bismarck as he conquered the rest to unite Germany. Poland is a country that has produced fantastic footballers, including Lewandowski, ...
