Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the formation of the Committee of the first 11 as I call them, to determine the question of impeachment of Gov. Samboja. Although the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader have declared that everybody is equal and that all of us are the same, I think that they have exercised some element of extreme caution and prudence in having this Committee and the Members. I therefore support the proposed Committee to that extent. I have sat in this House for the five impeachment proceedings that have taken place in this ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the first instance, I began by stating that I support this Motion. I am sure you have seen the court rulings that were in the past where a matter was dismissed and then the reasons were given later.

.: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, before Sen. Kibiru begins, there is an Adjournment Motion on a matter of national concern regarding the Likoni Ferry incident. The Senate Deputy Minority Leader can move the Adjournment Motion on behalf of Sen. Faki so that you can allocate time before Sen. Kibiru begins.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement by Sen. Kibiru is very dangerous. The Advisory Opinion No.2 of 2013, in the name of the Speaker of the Senate, was very clear that the marginalization of this country started the day that Paper was tabled. Although it was tabled by a very brilliant man, it does not mean that the late Tom Mboya---The Paper itself created marginalization and that is why devolution has taken so long to address marginalization. Unless Sen. Kibiru qualifies that statement, it should not go into the records of the Senate. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

This is an important Bill Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I agree with Sen. Malalah that we must remove the issue of the Cabinet Secretary (CS) dealing with hawkers and street vendors anywhere in the country. I am glad we are debating this when Sen. Sakaja is here because many street vendors, or if you like hawkers, who are mostly mistreated are those in Nairobi. One time when I was coming from Makueni, I passed through City Stadium. There were hawkers who were selling vegetables and clothes outside Wakulima Market yet it was raining cats and dogs. There was ...
