Mr. Speaker, Sir, my apologies to Sen. Cherarkey. However, normally when you guide us on this session, you normally guide on time per Member, so that as many Members as possible can speak. I realise you did not do so today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also give my contributions on the issue of involvement of the KDF in doing infrastructural projects in the country. The KDF has a lot of expertise within its ranks in various fields, which should benefit Kenyans because they are trained with taxpayers’ money....

Given that these two committees visited two stations, that is the Committee on Trade, Industrialisation and Tourism, and the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration, will I be in order to plead...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wonder if we have lost the traditions of this House. How can Cherarkey want to claim the Floor while the people who inducted him and showed him points of order and how to do work in the House are still sitting? He should know that...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is trying to bribe you because he knows you are an interested party in that matter. However, I know you are a straightforward Nchuri Ncheke who delivers justice without compromise from people like Sen. Kisang. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this important...

I was saying, Sen. Sifuna's concerns are not illegitimate. This is because we must ask ourselves, why did you subject us to a debate on something that stands approved. In fact, that is a question that the secretariat that processed this needs to answer. I believe if it were the...

I do not mind being informed.
