Mr. Speaker, Sir, can I propose a further compromise? Sen. Sakaja and another colleague have raised a concern. I had mentioned this, that it is futile to go away for 14 days and we come back and continue talking. I am surprised that the Chairperson of the Committee on Health is not here. In 14 days, this Senate must guide the country in terms of how we will go about this issue one by one, by coming up with something similar to an emergency protocol. We can pass a resolution which can be followed. However, how is the testing of ...

As a Whip, I was wondering out loud because people are streaming out slowly and I do not want to lose Members. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted you to make a determination; I am pleading that you give us direction that this is not a matter concerning counties so that I do not have a problem when Members leave. This is something that I think the Speaker must direct us on.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very sad Petition. It is a sad Petition to the extent that it appears that the members of these SACCO have been ring-fenced by authorities, both at county, national level and to some level of extent, the Judiciary to frustrate them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, our Constitution is clear and maybe, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar can hear this. Our Constitution allows people to get injunctive relief in anticipation of violation. The court cannot dismiss a suit simply because a procedure was not followed. It is an anticipated violation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Schedule IV is ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said a university where our Senator taught. That is Moi University. You are an Alumni of Moi University. From wherever they are listening, it is an anathema. It is a violation of values and principles of public service to do this to ordinary Kenyans. Who will save Kenyans from Kenyans themselves? Who will speak for ordinary Kenyans?

The days of Rural-urban Credit Bank when the Government used to prey on SACCOs and banks which were managed by people are long gone. SACCOs is one alternative method of members saving their money and operating in a quiet manner away from the merchants called banks. When you start selling property worth Kshs650 million for Kshs250 million, what will happen is that they will pursue the members directly for the balance. It is a tragedy.

.: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Omogeni said that we do not have the process of something called a certificate of urgency. In a certificate of urgency, one would ideally get an interim relief. The 60 days period is a long period. The Committee should come back to you with an interim report next week the same way we did an interim report through the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights on the issue of extrajudicial killings. The question of sale of a SACCO property must be handled as a priority so that we can save ...
