Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Although you have agreed on the extension, my problem with your extension is that the Committee on Finance and Budget is now considering the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), which has the figure that is going to be allocated to the issues that Sen. Dullo has raised, and I hope this is the one on medical leasing equipment.

The extra seven days you have given this Committee will do two things- (1) It will not inform our Report on the Budget Policy Statement, or alternatively; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

(2) The Committee is going to postpone the inevitable so that we are unable to make a decision. Sen. Orengo has said that this matter is dead and this Senate cannot be an undertaker for purposes of medical equipment leasing. On this one, I believe that you should have castigated the Committee because this matter has become very notorious and chances are that we will rally the Senators to reject the Medical Leasing Conditional Grant this financial year.

I hope that when the Bill on actualising Article 81, where we are to have one third of either gender represented in the National Assembly, we will support it in view of what is happening out there in the world. We have waited for too long. We are too far behind and Serbia is leading the way. We welcome you to Kenya. It is a good job and we hope that our delegation at IPU, through Sen.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a famous saying that what’s good for the goose is also good for the gander. Sen. Olekina cannot speak from both sides of the mouth or blow hot and cold because that is not allowed. More importantly, there is no rule under the Standing Orders of this Parliament where time stops running after we go on recess. Therefore, it means that even if Senators work outside this Chamber, we are not all on recess. Therefore, that is not an excuse. Similarly, Sen. Wetangula who requested for the statement is owed a report, whether interim or ...
