Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he said that the person given the responsibility of managing the business of this House midwifed the death of democracy. Who is that person? If that person is in reference to you, it cannot be on record.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Malalah has spoken. First, I want to say that Sen. Poghisio served as a Minister under ODM-Kenya (ODM-K). I personally detest the word “minority” because I do not think anybody should be referred to as minority. For those who have been removed, I have said here before that we are serving temporary interests of political parties. They are not hereditary and they can be taken away anytime.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is disconcerting that many days down the line, we are still debating a Bill to provide a framework on COVID- 19.
