Mr. Speaker, Sir, you should apply the rules of this House strictly. It is unfortunate that a Member of the leadership of this House can interrupt debate in a manner that displays ignorance of our Standing Orders.

Each Member here has a right to speak to this Address, and we have a lot to speak. The Majority Chief Whip, who comes from the ...

where the Governor and the county government of Uasin Gishu rounded up children whom in their opinion looked like Luhyas and went and dumped them at a leprosy center in Busia County. Towards elections, Uasin Gishu County again rounded up children who to them looked like Luhyas and went and dumped them in Kitale. Then, we have this sad story from Nakuru where the County Government of Nakuru rounded up children. This time I think ethnicity was not an issue because they were trying to play a stupid game of creating a veneer of good looking for them to look ...

Minister, Kyale Mwendwa was a Minister as well as Nyiva Mwendwa, whom I had the distinction with Sen. Poghisio to be in the seventh Parliament with. It is a family that has made tremendous contribution to the development of the politics and social economic activities of this country. As we mourn his passing on at the age of 94, we celebrate his life. To live up to that age is a great act of God's providence and a personal achievement. I want to remind Sen. Sakaja that Mzee Nathan Waliaula Munoko, a Member of the Legislative Council (LEGCO) and a ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, before you exercise that discretion--- Ordinarily, we do not debate this kind of Statement. It is simply given and left to lie where it has fallen. What I suggest to you is that the Statement has made very important propositions on improving the BBI process, particularly in relation to the Senate. So that we do not look bad out there, as engaging in altercations over a Statement that is coming from our own Committee, I would suggest that Members who have got any dissenting ideas on the Report to improve it by giving their views to the ...
