Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I was emphasizing was – I believe the House got me – that we want even and equal response to calamities. You have heard Cabinet Secretary, Waiguru, saying that she is going to rebuild the homes of the people in Mpeketoni and that she is sending money there. We were shown the people of Baringo in total destitution, but she has said nothing about Baringo. She has said nothing about Bungoma, Nyando and everywhere else. We are saying that whatever is done to one community must be done to other communities and every individual ...

Jambo la nidhamu, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Je, ni halali kwa Sen. Mvita kusema kwamba hatufai kuwalaumu Al Shabaab ilhali wao wenyewe walisema kuwa walivamia mji wa Mpeketoni? Kama wanaushahidi tofauti waulete hapa?. We want an open society. Kila mtu awajibike na yale mambo anayosema. Merekani, Uingereza, Ufaransa wamesema Al Shabaab ndio waliohusika. Hata Al Shabaab wenyewe wamesema kuwa ni wao ndio walitekeleza uvamizi huo. Je, ni nidhamu kweli kwa mhe. Seneta kusimama hapa na kukanusha bila kuleta ushahidi ulio tofauti na yale ambayo tumeambiwa?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, since we have two Bills to vote on, would I be in order to request the Chair that you direct that we vote for both within one division and then we can have final results thereafter, to save on time?

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. before I say anything, I send my condolences to the families, friends and all those affected by the massacre in Mpeketoni. It is a very sad event and it goes down in the catalogue of many massacres that have happened in this country; Turbi, Wagalla, Bungoma, Tana River and now we have Mpeketoni, Lamu and many other places. The continued killings of Turkanas by Merilles and so on are some of the incidents I can cite. This is a national challenge and it saddens me to hear any one of us trivializing it ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the distinguished Senator in order to say what he is saying when the leadership of CORD has, in fact, visited the Inspector-General of Police in his office, sat with him, explained to him and given him an itinerary of all our rallies? He knows it and he has even gone public to say it. Is he in order?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mine is a concern regarding the conduct of staff to Members. I have been in Parliament for a long time. When the Speaker orders a Member to leave, the orderlies of the House cannot purport to go and eject the Member unless the Speaker so orders. That is the normal procedure. You simply said; “Sen. Orengo, out. You are now a stranger.” At no time did you order the Orderlies to get Sen. Orengo out.
