.: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sometimes I want to sympathise, but I do not; because you used tyranny of numbers to get to power. You are unable to use power; we are ready to lead this country if Jubilee is unable to lead this country. Therefore, do not treat us to drama because the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet County voted to the last man for this Jubilee Government. When the Senate Majority Leader, who leads us, complains about the same Government, what are we, who are seated on this side, supposed to do? Are we supposed to cry, wail and ...

When I stood here with Sen. Orengo and Sen. Wako, and we told you about election laws, the fact that revolutions eat their own babies, and you thought that it was a joke. This Government will eat you up! Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just going to repeat; the Constitution is very clear that this Senate has power, under Article 254(2), to request for a report from any agency on any particular issue.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when it comes to corruption, investigation of corruption and what the Judiciary is doing, we must speak the same when it comes to an issue touching on your person, county and another county, if we want Kenyans to understand and believe us. Ruaraka was touching on Nairobi and they left this House apart from the Senator of Nairobi County.

You left. You voted with your feet. You did not vote with your machines. There is a vote on maize; stay behind and vote on it. Make a statement about corruption. If corruption is not in Elgeyo Marakwet, it will be in another place. Regarding the case of Thwake that you have mentioned, Jubilee Government had initially awarded the tender to the highest bidder and not the lowest bidder. It is only after somebody was fired that the contract was awarded to the right person. It stalled because the people of Makueni said ‘do not come until you compensate everybody’. ...
