Madam Temporary Speaker, you have heard what he has said and he is on record in the HANSARD. He has talked of one individual. He needs to tell us who this one individual is. He has also talked about this one individual after every election, fighting to get into Government through the handshake. We want to know the full facts of what he said and this must be tabled in this House. We are cheapening this House through statements like these by people who have no regard of the status of the Senate in this Republic.

Madam Temporary Speaker, picketing and demonstrations are part of our democracy. It is not a surprise that those in Kenya Kwanza are against the demonstrations.

Out there, Kenyans are hungry and angry because of the insensitive regime called Kenya Kwanza.

It should not just be people who died but also property that was destroyed. I urge Sen. Kavindu Muthama to amend this Motion to include destruction of property because several buildings collapsed causing a lot of losses. I think they spent over Kshs800 million to renovate Cooperative House. They deserve to be compensated. We also used to have the Ufundi Sacco Society building there. It also collapsed and they need to be compensated. As we talk about the persons who were killed and injured, let us also talk about the destruction of property. Madam Temporary Speaker, with the passage of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on Standing Order No. 105. It is very unfortunate for Sen. Okenyuri, whom I have known for many years to insinuate that we are acting on rumours when we have a Report with us done by a committee of this House and tabled before this House? Is she in Order? Can she substantiate this?
