No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have not yet discussed this Statement as a Committee but would the Chairman clarify---

29 Sep 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just for the Chairman to confirm because the Statement that he gave us reads that there is already a process of reviewing the elections law through a Draft Election (Amendment) Bill and within the Statement, it clearly says that they are carrying out consultations with the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. This House has no Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs but we have the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Does that mean it excludes the Senate? I know the Chairman mentioned something that he hopes that it will include the Senate but ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, two weeks ago, I sought a Statement on the state of insecurity in Nandi County. The Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations undertook to bring the Statement to this House in one week’s time. On the day that we were supposed to get the Statement, both the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson were not present but I am expecting an answer today.

It would make more sense if the Chairperson would share what the difficulty is. He is telling us that he cannot give an answer today due to various reasons but we do not know what those reasons are.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No. 54 (3). After the Division Bell has been rung, we do not have the requisite numbers. I request that we defer the putting of the Question for Order No. 8 and Order No.9 to a day of your direction.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Lesan for this wonderful Bill. I agree and share a number of contributions made by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and we will have an opportunity, during the Third Reading, to amend this Bill. However, it is important to note that the Bill before us by Sen. (Prof.) Lesan is pursuant to Article 57 of the Constitution that clearly indicates that there is a responsibility for the state to take care of senior citizens in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am sure that the wording of Article 57 ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I agree with you on this particular one, of course, I would have appreciated if the leadership of the Committee would have delegated the same responsibility to a Member of the Committee. This is a Statement that I sought and it has two components. One of the components is the rising insecurity within Kapsabet Town and Mosoriot Trading Center and I would have appreciated a response.
