Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the two Senators who have contributed to this Report. They seem to know exactly what they are saying and the debates that you have been discussed at the ACP-EU summit. Sen. Mungatana raised a very valid point about the subscriptions to these regional or international parliaments. You remember we were to attend the OACPS Parliament in Benin in January this year but, the meeting was suspended because there were no finances. The countries that subscribed to OACPS and the European Union (EU) did not pay the subscription. So, it was ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are busy this afternoon in this House, and the working environment is not conducive because of the music playing outside by people who have come to present their petitions and want to be heard by Parliament. Could they submit their petition without the music that they are playing, then, we can also do some work? Is it the intentional music that they are playing? Direct the Serjeant-at-Arms that the people should submit their petitions silently to the Clerk's office, and then they will be heard.

The second petition is on unfair terms of service and delay in absorption of all the 8,571 health workers under UHC contract. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to welcome our visitors who are in the Speaker’s Gallery this afternoon. I appreciate the seven young men and women who are undertaking an internship programme in the Senate for seeing it wise to come to the Senate to get more experience. I request them to move to all departments of the Senate, so that they can understand what happens in the Senate. We have many departments, which they can learn from. Additionally, when you are around, keep yourself with a lot of discipline. Hold yourself with honesty and whatever you ...

Since you have mentioned our condolences to Sen. Betty Montet and to her family, the Senate stands with her during this time of grief and sorrow. We now go to statements under Standing Order No.(53(1). Sen. (Dr.) Murango you had two statements. That solidarity is good since he is your predecessor in the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries.
