Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you and the Senators in welcoming the delegation from Narok North Constituency and all the other delegations that are here. A lot has been said about the representation here in the House. I am sure that the whole House agrees with the fact that Sen. Olekina has done a splendid job, not only by representing the Maasai community, but also all the people who are disadvantaged. He has taken firm stand and solid positions, for example, the issue of Mau forest and other things. This is not because he is here. This is the last ...

I would like them to know that they are probably going to be in the annals of history as the last guests to this House as it is now constituted. They have come on a day when we are adjourning Sine Die . Therefore, it would be very interesting for them to say they were the last guests to be in the Senate of the 12th Parliament. I do not know about all the others who have come. You are all welcome to the Senate. I know that sometimes when you come to the Senate, you might have an appetite ...

Mr. Speaker Sir, I beg to move that pursuant to Standing Order Nos. 28 and 29, the Senate adjourn sine die. It is a very special day in the Senate of the 12th Parliament. It is a day when we have to formally say our goodbyes. It is usually very difficult to say so, especially for a group of people; hon. Members who have been so interwoven together. Hon. Members who have grown together. However, the day has come when some of our Members are saying goodbye. Not to come back to this House. In fact, some Members do not ...

two Houses of the Parliament worked tirelessly under very difficult circumstances. Sometimes not agreeing at all. Not seeing eye-to-eye and even proceeding to court to challenge some of the things that were done. We have also gone through months of COVID-19 pandemic and we braved it under your own supervision and guidance. This House managed to wade through COVID-19 lockdowns and when we had a chance, you taught us to obey the regulations in 2019 and we did. Thus, we survived the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the House that has come out of it purified and strengthened. Time in the ...

All that time we have been working, the Senate has stood tall. The Senate will be remembered for a number of decisions that were made. One of the decisions was when the Senate stood firm to challenge matters that were taken to court and sought the courts’ opinion. At the same time, you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, and the Speaker before have walked to court to ensure that the integrity of this House is maintained for years to come. As I said in the morning, there is an existential threat to this House. Unless we guard against that threat, there are ...
