On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Humility sometimes is noble and accepting a mistake is even more noble. There is only one person who can say “my Government” in this country and that is His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. For somebody to impersonate and take that title is insubordination and actually treason. Would I be in order to humbly request that Sen. Elachi withdraws and continues?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, having heard the response of the Chairperson of the Committee on Land and Natural Resources and the disgust with which he has expressed his concern over the impunity and irresponsive behaviour of the Ministry, especially the Cabinet Secretary and the NLC, would I then be in order to ask you to order the two to appear before our full House Committee to express their views on the same?

Bw. Spika, wingu la mauti limetanda tena kulifunika Bunge hili. Kumpoteza mmoja wetu wa Bunge la Kitaifa sio jambo la furaha. Siwezi kujitapa kwamba nilimfahamu kwa utu marehemu lakini alijulikana Kenya nzima kwa utekelezaji wake wa kazi hasa akiwa kiongozi kwa vyama vya wafanyikazi. Alikuwa mcheshi na mtu mwenye busara. Umri wa miaka 66 ni umri wa mtu aliyekomaa, asiyeogopa na aliyefika wakati wa kuwaongoza watu na kuwapa ushauri akiwa bado na nguvu kwa uzee wake. Tumepokonywa kiongozi huyu akiwa na askari wawili wamemzunguka wakiwa na bunduki mbili, yeye mwenyewe akiwa na bunduki. La ajabu ni kwamba muuaji aliwapiga risasi ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when Sen. Melly asked this questions, I also raised an addendum on the same and sought information on the situation of maize piled in the stores of Migori County. For more than three seasons, the stores are excessively full and maize has not been transferred. It is reliably stored there by the Department of Special Programmes. I enquired when this maize was going to be removed from the stores to create space for farmers to put their maize. I have not had a response on that. Would I also be in order to request that the Chairman ...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, Sen. Haji has wide experience on administration and matters of security. Hence the move to amend was informed. The limit on age maybe dropped because we have youth who are patriotic enough and want to serve and we have 60 year olds who look like 35 year olds. There are people who do not express their ages in appearance and they are ready to serve. So, we should drop that requirement. The issue of education should be left the way it is because the amendment does not qualify what type of ability to read and write ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Standing Order No.110(1) on Disorderly Conduct states:- “Conduct is grossly disorderly if the Senator concerned – (i) acts in any other way to the serious detriment of the dignity or orderly procedure of the Senate” Would I be in order to request that you rule the Senate Majority Leader disorderly?
