This is a very complicated matter and I think we might consider asking the Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Urban Development and also the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Coordination so we do not have to call them again and again.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you. I would like the Chairperson to clarify the usage of a document called Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE). This document has been issued by my county, for example, in the pretext of paying for services that have been rendered to the county.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am saying what happened last evening when the Motion for Adjournment was moved, the expression was made by Senators that they will not adjourn the House, they would stay and not attend the conference in Meru. This is one practical thing that Senators have done in unison and I think they have done the right thing. The message passed on the floor in the conference in Meru now is loud and clear as to the intentions of the Senators and what action they wish to take. Along with that Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want ...

Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also want to congratulate a Member of the Devolution Committee for the sound advice that he gave to the committee. I want to encourage this Senate to assist the Committee on Devolution to work on a legislative devolution conference which I am sure if we organize as Senators, we will be able to talk about the myriad legislative issues that we could do to remove us from issues that we have dealt with in the last one day. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Rugby Sevens team which made us ...
