On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Did you hear the good Senator say that when he was an ordinary Member and now he is not an ordinary Member? Is he suggesting that we gave a category of Members in this House? Could he clarify that?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. This Bill is long overdue because public participation has been going on for a long time without a framework. Counties have been doing their own form of public participation and that is the reason we have challenges. The Governor for Kericho, His Excellency Prof. Chepkwony, was impeached in this Senate by the assembly because of something that he did; a contract that he entered into without what was defined as public participation. The then Governor for Embu, Hon. Wambora, was saved by the court because of what was said that “the public ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have an obligation as a House to guide you so that you make a favourable ruling. Secondly, I am not aware of any principle of law where any ruling is cast in stone and cannot be reviewed. I am persuaded that when you gave the ruling yesterday, you did not have the benefit of the HANSARD. Therefore, in that regard, Sen. “Daudi” Kabaka has a right to bring to your attention what is in the record of the Senate so that you can determine under Standing Order No. 94 whether the Senator made a statement of ...

Sorry, not withdraw but review your ruling. This gentleman said he did not know what he was saying and he did not have any accuracy. In fact, if you ask him to substantiate what he said, it is to substantiate what he heard; to substantiate a man called Rai who he cannot substantiate based on this unless he makes another statement other than this one.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir; the above students are from my ward. I requested them to come to the Senate as a way of congratulating them for being the best performers and being admitted to the national Schools. It is also a way of encouraging the current students in Class Eight to do well. These are the best performers that we have. They are on midterm. This is a treat from their Senator for doing very well. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources is not ready. He was not ready to make a comment or highlight. So that we can move quickly, would it be in order for me to suggest that we move to the next Order, in order to allow him to study the highlights, so the Members who have Statements can read them. If he rushes to make the highlights, we may not contribute. We also do not want the Chairperson to shuffle papers the way he is doing.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, two weeks ago, I sought a Statement here on what Sen. Khaniri has raised, but mine was on the medical equipment. Last week, I had the privilege of visiting Makindu Trauma Centre. Makueni County has built a new hospital and has stocked part of the equipment that they received from the Government. I would like to urge my colleagues that when we go to Uasin Gishu County, we find an opportunity to visit Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital where this equipment is. The equipment was donated to very few hospitals. However, counties are paying Kshs100 million for ...
