Mr. Speaker, Sir, the same Committee did promise to give us a statement I requested for today, 31st July, 2014, on the situation of Migori Roads E166 and C13. Would I, therefore, be in order to request that the Chairperson, who has just read a statement for the other question, do the same for my roads in Migori, which happen to be in Western Kenya too?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, among the requirements for this recruitment was citizens and so on. First, if you go to number five which is physically, mentally and medically fit, of what medical qualifications were the police officers who initially check medical fitness of the candidates? Secondly, height is one of the issues that were being checked. We know genetically some communities in this country have a shorter height than other communities. Is it not a way of discrimination that some communities were left out just because of height when we know that in other countries, including the United States of America ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. To my knowledge, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo is not the Chair answering to this statement. If you have noticed, he is actually debating over issues that may not even be related. Is he in order?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas I may not be a lawyer, I know one fact. Just because a wrong has been done does not justify repeating the wrong and calling it right. I believe in my own mind that our two previous Committees made a mistake in the interpretation of the law. This is because the Constitution which was approved by a majority of Kenyans was not adhered to. The Constitution does not prescribe the method of removal of a Deputy Governor. If a Governor or county assembly, therefore, thinks that a Deputy Governor is not ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, although I am a Senator, I am also a registered medical practitioner in the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board. I have maintained my licence to date. Therefore, allow me to tell you that in my capacity as a professional, I witnessed Sen. Murkomen when he got injured. I examined him and found him to be incapable of walking without support---

Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Murkomen will continue using the stick as long as I have not decided that it is not appropriate. I would also like to inform the Senator for Bungoma that even when we prescribe, usually the drugs and other appliances have been manufactured by somebody else, which could include the people of Murkomen, or sometimes even water in your own house.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the opening remarks of Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, he said that he is not sure whether the Mombasa Conference is on or not. Now that was planned and organized by this House and with that kind of remark from the Senate Majority Leader, would I be in order to request that he substantiates or elucidates on the issue?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is the practice of this House that when questions are raised or statements are demanded, the draft of the statement is approved by the Speaker before it is put on the Order Paper. Is Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo in order to say that some statements raised on the Floor of this House do not make sense? Is that not bad repute to the Chair?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The importance of the statement sought by Sen. Kanainza on this issue cannot be underscored. It is so important and it is likely to be diluted with time. We know that the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.
