This afternoon we met as the Liaison Committee. The Committees of the Senate are starved of resources to do oversight. We are trying to look for funds. Where do we get the money? Perhaps, in Contingency which is meant for Ad Hoc Committees and Mediation Committees.

The other thing that I will ask from the leadership of this House; both the Majority and Minority side, make sure that in this Budget we have resources for the Committees. Committee work is almost stalling because of lack of resources. With these many remarks, I ask my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, to second this Bill.

Sen. Nyutu, you are bordering on being out of order. The space behind the Chair or outside can be well-utilized to make calls and do other things. So, because I was party to that decision which was made and the Communication made by the Speaker, I ask Members to desist from taking calls from the Chamber. Proceed.

Next in line is Sen. Mumma Muyeka. Sen. Mumma, your first name is similar to a word used in the last two weeks, 'Catherine.' I will seek to amend your name at some point. Proceed and use your minutes.

Sorry, Sen. Mumma. Hon. Senators, when the Chair gives Senators chances to debate, this is one of many things I allow a Member to contribute--- I can give three Senators a chance to debate the matter from the opposition side. What is the problem with giving Sen. Wambua and Sen. Mumma opportunities from my left? You can sit on either side of the House. Nobody should direct the Speaker. I am a sober guy who eats Miraa . I am alert.
