Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. We have done good work. I also note that within the period that we have had, the Senate still has a lot of pending work. I hope that when we resume, we can get time and extend if possible, so that the pending work that we have in the Senate is done. I also hope during this time, Committees can take their time to execute and dispense off the work that is pending. I support.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to ride on that Statement, given the fact that there are thousands of people from my county who trade in various trading centres, from Githurai, Thika, Wangige and Limuru, and eke out a living from the sale of second-hand clothes. The Chairman of the Committee should tell this House, in the Statement sought by the Senator for Vihiga, whether there is a clear feasible roadmap to compensate these people. The plan to ban the sale of second-hand clothes should be put on hold until such a time when there is a tangible plan for ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not need to deny or accept that I am in the kitchen Cabinet. The Senator for Kakamega needs to know that in the kitchen there are a thousand recipes, which do not taste the same. Even though there is a plan to halt the trade in second-hand clothes, there has to be a plan to cushion those Kenyans who will be affected by that ban. I am perfectly in order.

Madam Temporary Speaker, on a point of order. Is the Senator for Kakamega County in order to mislead this country by implying that either when a delegation from any community seeks to have audience with the presidency or the occupants of the office of the President, it is tantamount to balkanizing this country along tribal lines? We know it is the same tribal communities that form our nation. Our Constitution is clear because short of it, we shall be discriminating.

Madam Temporary Speaker, my point is that it is not envisaged anywhere in the Constitution that any community can seek audience with the presidency and be denied because it is from a particular place. The presidency has a right to meet anyone form this country.

Madam Temporary Speaker, is the Senator for Kakamega in order to mislead this country once more, first, by referring to individuals as orphans of politics or ideology? Even more substantive, is he in order to mislead the country that the CORD Coalition led a peaceful demonstration, while it is actually on record, including photographs and video coverage, of members of the CORD Coalition trying to break doors and entrances of public buildings, where public money has been invested, against even the ‘lowest’ law of misdemeanor? Is he in order to mislead this nation that it is allowed under the Constitution ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Senator for Kakamega has persisted on following the same line of misleading this nation.

Madam Temporary Speaker, he made a clear presentation that they were carrying out a peaceful demonstration and now he says that they were going to the IEBC offices to do gymnastics and press-ups. What kind of gymnastics did they envisage to do inside the offices of a constitutional body that conducts elections and not gymnastics? He should have gone to the gym.
