Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need two weeks to deal with this. Please, give us two weeks.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am new in office. However, we will try very hard in the first one week to deliver. If we are not successful, we will come back to the House and seek for more time.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in applauding the nomination of Sen. Billow to the Pan-African Parliament. I commend, congratulate and appreciate the work done by Sen. Murkomen who, when he was in the Pan-African Parliament, he was also a member of the sky-team. He was...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to comment on the Petition on the division of revenue. I am sure that we are all aware that this is one of the issues that we are dealing with in the House. I am happy that these citizens have brought up this issue...

For the interest of some Members, could you clarify yourself? It appears that they are keen on understanding what you mean.

The part of knowing the Chair before you came to this House. (Laughter)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, last week, while you were away, I said that I knew you when we were real hustlers and it generated quite a debate. However, the Chair ruled that I do not need to breakdown the meaning of the word “hustler”. I congratulate you and I believe...

What is it Sen. (Dr.) Zani? February 16, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I think what Sen. Elachi is saying is very important and it needs substantiation. Could we have a substation of the crazy things that are being done by Asians?

Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. What I meant - I believe if we leave it to the board to go to Industrial Area and do their own research in all those pharmaceuticals that we have, I believe the way we did with Kenya Airways, we can get a report...

Sen. Elachi, the point of order was with regard to Asians. You have mentioned Asians and their companies doing crazy things. Can you substantiate that particular element?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I withdraw and apologise. However, I have said that the Committee on Health must do something.

So, you have withdrawn?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, yes, I withdrew. Let them bring us a report first. On the issue of cancer, we used to know and it is still a fact that cancer cells are a product of a lineage of a family, but nowadays, even those without that hereditary nature are...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need clarity. What is written in the newspapers is a reality of what is happening. Sen. Muthama said that “the newspapers have said.” Whether or not it will be verified is totally a different process. As a society, we can have that discourse. There is...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to ride on the question that has been asked by my colleague. From available information, this person, who was murdered, shared a room with another patient. Could the Chairperson also give us further information on the circumstances and condition of the patient who shared...

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...

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to give the statement requested by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on the death of Ms. Elizabeth Akala.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I walked in this afternoon, this report had just come. In fact, I was going to request that first, this report be tabled in my Committee, so that we can put it together in a manner that it will answer Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s question more thoroughly...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I speak, we have ordered some copies and one of them is for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I requested, we will need to table this in the Committee. We should be ready next week on Wednesday or Thursday.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, both the Senate Majority Leader and the Deputy Majority Leader are not in the House. I do not know where they are, but I endeavour to inform them that this issue has arisen in the House and they need to give an answer.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That is, in fact, why I was standing up and I was looking at it and saw that it is an issue that the Committee on Health would be able to investigate and, perhaps, bring a more realistic answer than the Senate Leader of Majority....

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to endeavor that we will work with this office but I promise that the Committee on Health will urge the Senate Leader of Majority to drive this process.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do accept your order, deferring the items on the Order Paper which I believe is so because there is no quorum in the House for us to go to division. I have not seen anywhere in the Standing Orders that we...
