Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order. The Senator for Bungoma County is absolutely out of order. He cannot pretend to come here and provide the same answer he is seeking. Lastly, when the history of this country about marginalization is told – I think that is the way it should be – the people of Mt. Kenya Region should speak. We should say The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in each region, people have areas they can claim there is marginalization. If we try to pick specific places where we will be saying this section is marginalised because they have this or that problem, we can all historically claim there are areas where we have not been treated right by the systems which were there since colonialism. We cannot attempt to bring another narrative.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge my colleagues, if you want us to build a good country for all of us, let us focus on how we will build a modern-day country with equal opportunities, with our new devolution and Constitution. Let us not dwell on the past and paint a wrong picture that divides this country and sends the wrong impression.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought you just gave a ruling a few minutes ago on the way to proceed. However, I am unsettled when again, you allow the Senator for Kakamega County on the same trajectory. You alluded very well to what Sen. Sakaja said. Now, he is naming people and saying we have never had this and that. Why is he not questioning why we have a Lusaka as the Speaker of the Senate?

If he wants to send us on the same journey, we can get a list of every person from the people you are naming who has served and who is serving in the positions in Kenya. That narrative is a lost one and one to divide the country. That cannot be allowed in modern day. We are doing the wrong thing. He cannot be allowed to continue to tell this country that we are divided along tribal lines in modern day Kenya and get away with it in the Senate.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the point of order raised by Sen. M. Kajwang’. It is not that I have not been in the jua kali sector. I have done all manner of trade including welding. However, this is a mask. If you look at the actual meaning of a mask---
