Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to condole and sympathize with the parents of the twins that were born and lost in Pumwani Maternity Hospital. I was a Member of the Committee that investigated the report and it exposed a lot of weaknesses in terms of security in hospitals, and more particularly, in children hospitals, with a specific and particular reference to Pumwani Maternity Hospital.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am sure that it is contained somewhere in the report that extensive DNA was done on several people. This includes the two parents of the twins; that is, the father and the mother, and seven other dead bodies that were retrieved from the same ward at the same time. Therefore, there was extensive DNA testing that was done in these cases.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My friend Sen. Muthama has made a very serious allegation about the presence of a University for stealing in this country. This is very serious and it affects the reputation of all Kenyans, Senators included. I think this is a point that we must deny or otherwise ask the Senator to clarify or give evidence to the fact that there exists such a school in this country. Otherwise, we should all start to deny that because our reputations are at stake. Thank you.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to also join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Kembi-Gitura for moving this Motion of Adjournment. This country is privileged to have been visited by dignitaries, one of whom is Pope Francis. Such dignitaries carry a message. I am sure that the Pope will deliver a message to us. I am sure that one of the messages that he will deliver is to do with the environment. I have heard him before making comments about the preservation of the environment. This is, perhaps, one of the very important things that we should constantly be reminded ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last time we had serious bank runs in 1992, a Deposits Protection Fund (DPF) was created within the CBK in order to take care of the immediate needs of those who deposited their money. As my colleague expressed, there is serious worry about how the depositors with the bank will survive in the meantime as the process goes on. I would like to know from the Vice Chairperson what happened to the DPF held within the CBK.
