On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is my distinguished nephew, the Senator for Nairobi City County in order to denigrate the status and standing of the very active Senator from Nairobi City County, Sen. Millicent Omanga by describing her as his assistant? Every single Senator here is here individually as a Senator. Whether you are in a delegation or not, you do not become an assistant to the head of delegation.

Madam Temporary Speaker, while I share the concerns of Sen. Kajwang’ the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay County, about the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, I discourage the piece meal approach in doing business of the House. The Senate Majority and Minority Leaders are in the House and their Whips and other leadership cadres are available. Instead of allowing young Sen.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to inform the distinguished young Senator and my good friend - a very objective one at that – that the censure on CS hon. Keter is not about petroleum.

Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to counsel my distinguished young Senator and friend. Experience counts. Sometimes, you may think that by engaging in obstruction of debate, you are gaining some points and relevance, you are not. You brought a Statement to the House.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the moving of the Motion started, I was wondering where Sen. Cheruiyot was. There was once a committee to investigate land clashes and when it came to voting, half of the Members of the Committee disappeared. I beg to second this Motion. I urge the great men and women who are before and behind me that this is a patriotic duty. It has nothing to do with your brother or political party. It has everything to do with the people of Kenya and what we are going through.
