Mr. Speaker, Sir, why are we where we are and why did we invite the international community to come to Kenya? The Mover of the Motion at one point rightly said that it was the bad behaviour of the political class; I agree with him. He also said that we have a new Constitution in Kenya; and I agree with him.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have never disputed that Sen. Murungi is my senior, so he does not have to belabour it. He is my senior and so is Sen. Kembi-Gitura and Sen. Orengo. Is Sen.
