Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am reliably told and even from these proceedings, Dr. Sunil Kumar Dhall; nowhere does he complain that he felt slighted when he was called a Mhindi . A Member of the Committee informs me – and I believe him – that, indeed, even before the Committee, he did not complain that he was called a Mhindi . How can that be a charge that can be brought before the distinguished Senate of the Republic of Kenya to arbitrate? Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is with this that I keep on agreeing that Sen. Murkomen---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in those elections, there was no Luhya contestant, and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale can tell you that we probably lost the largest number of people in that conflict.
