On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the distinguished Senators for Kericho and Nyeri to exhibit short fuse on a matter that has not been canvassed when, in fact, the Chief Executive of this country has confessed that the Government is being chocked by corruption and the Controller and Auditor General has said that Kshs300 billion cannot be accounted for?
