Let us get at least two comments. We shall start with the Majority Leader.

Thank you, Majority Leader. The author of this Statement is requesting the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations to look into this matter. However, your suggestion is very relevant because we have had a Data Commissioner from last year. Sen. Maanzo, proceed.

This is an interesting Statement. I had limited to two, but because of the law of supply and demand, let me give an opportunity to two more Senators; one from the Majority Side and another from Minority side. Let us hear the ICT guru, Sen. Kisang.

Verbatim text unavailable — read this contribution in the official Hansard.

Let us have the next Statement by Sen. Sifuna. CONSTRUCTION WORKS ON NGONG ROAD

Before I allow time for comments, Sen. Orwoba, as I speak, your Statement is before the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. However, if you want to do changes as advised by the Senate Majority Leader, you can approach the Liaison Committee to make the decision for two...

Sen. Thang’wa, Chairperson of the Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing, what is out of order?

Sen. Thang’wa, the Senator for Nairobi is none other than Sen. Sifuna and he represents the good people of Nairobi City County, including my children who use Ngong Road. So, he is very much in order to represent his people in this House. You are out of order, Chairman, for...

Hapo umesema vizuri, Sen. Munyi Mundigi. Sen. Cherarkey, kindly give brief comments because we are taking a lot of time on Statements. You have a maximum of two minutes. I also request that you be timed.

Sen. Cherarkey, I was giving some communication and you are still talking. Why are you confusing my guidance to the House? (Sen. Onyonka spoke off record) You are protected. So, kindly use your two minutes.

Your time is over, Sen. Cherarkey. On the screen, on my left-hand side, I can see Sen. Oketch Gicheru, Sen. Onyonka and Sen. (Dr.) Oburu. Of course, Sen. Onyonka, you were to get the chance, but now Sen. (Dr.) Oburu has requested that he should also speak. Proceed, my Senior,...

Thank you. Let us get two or three comments. First is from Sen. Mumma.

Sen. Mumma, the two points of order touch on Standing Order No.105.

Sen. Mumma, you were doing so well before you touched on that livewire. Are you saying that you want to table evidence, so that now you can go on record, you will table evidence that you have facts and evidence, so that we can now proceed?

What is your point of order, Sen. Cheptumo?

You have another point of order.

Sen. M. Kajwang’, the Majority Leader is also on a point of order. You cannot stand on a point of order on a point of order. Allow Sen. Mumma to proceed and then you can raise your matter. Let us get her moving then you can raise your point of...

Sen. Mumma, pursuant to Standing Order 105 (2) , I give you up to the next Sitting to provide that evidence. Proceed Sen. M. Kajwang’.

Your point of order is taken. One thing you must be alive to is that the Speaker has no eyes and has no ears. I did not stop the Hon. Member from continuing with her submission until the Senate Majority Leader and Sen. Mandago alerted me. Otherwise, this could have...

Sen. Tabitha Mutinda. Note that we are giving only two minutes to make a comment on the Statement. This is no time for debate.

The Chairperson, Committee on Roads and Transportation, that issue was well canvased when this Petition was approved. His Statement is touching on acquisition not compensation. Therefore, there is a clear line. You are the Chairperson of the Committee. Once all these issues land on your desk, make the decision as...

Nothing is out of order. No Member is on the Floor, Sen. Orwoba. Sen. Cherarkey, a point of order on who? Who is on the Floor contributing, so that you can raise a point of order? (Sen. Orwoba and Sen. Cherarkey spoke off record) Sen. Chute, proceed and conclude your...

Sen. Thang’wa, proceed.

Senate Majority Leader, proceed. (Loud consultations)

Proceed, Sen. Montet Betty.

This issue has elicited a lot of interest because I want to go to the Statements hour. Let us get to hear from the Deputy Minority Leader.

Sen. Kajwang’, visit Standing Order No.98. When a Member is on the Floor, there is nothing completely. You cannot rise, what are you rising on now? How will you raise a point of order? Maybe when he is done contributing you can be able to do that.

Yes, Sen. M. Kajwang’. You should not contribute. Which Standing Order are you rising on?

Thank you, hon. Senator. Sen. Wambua you can use your two minutes. Let us conclude the Statement hour.

Hon. Senators, looking clearly at this Statement, and also listening to the sentiments of various Senators who have given their remarks on it, I rule that it should be handled by two Committees. That is, the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing and the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment...

Who is out of order? Is it the Chair? ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON COUNTY PUBLIC ACCOUNTS

Thank you for that brief statement. Sen. Methu, what is your point of order.

Sen. Methu, you are using the word “you” in a way that is confusing me. You are referring to me because I understand the Chair who was here then, made a ruling on your dressing. Why are you using short cuts because it was not me who was on the...

I think that is better.

Sen. Onyonka, I told you to refer to Standing Order No. 98 because we have finished that matter and we cannot go back to the issue. I have ruled that we must consult the HANSARD and that has been noted by the Clerk.

No, he is not on the Floor. You cannot inform him because he is not on the Floor now. You know, I have a lot of respect for you, Sen. Sifuna, but it is Standing Order No. 98 that has saved this House from unnecessary points of orders. If you...

Thank you. Sen. Mariam Omar, kindly proceed.

Thank you, Senator. Sen. Faki, you have the Floor.

Samahani, Bw. Naibu Spika, kama umeielewa hivyo. Mategemeo yangu ni kwamba ni watu ambao hawana msimamo katika mambo ambayo wametumwa kufanya. Kwa hivyo, hata tukiwa na sheria nzuri namna gani, wale ambao watatumwa kutekeleza sheria zile, ikiwa ni watu waoga ambao wanajali mkate wao kwanza kuliko kujali yale mambo ambayo...

Bw. Naibu Spika, kwanza, ninashukuru kwa maongozo yako. Lakini, najaribu kufikiria dada yangu, Sen. Veronica Maina, sijui amesimama kwa msingi gani ya Kanuni zetu za Kudumu za Bunge. Yale anayoyazungumza ni mambo ambayo--- Mimi sijataja Serikali ya Kenya Kwanza. Nimesema Serikali zote. Hata Serikali ya Jubilee ilimweka ndani Sen. Cherarkey...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I rise to congratulate our colleague, Sen.

Sen. Wakili Sigei, you have the Floor.

Let us give the next two Statements simultaneously by Sen. Murgo, and then Sen. Abbas

You know, in the spirit of trying to save time, I was limiting the number of speakers on that particular Statement. This is because I have given more than eight Senators a chance to comment on that particular Statement by Sen. Okenyuri.

This Statement has attracted a lot of interest. From where I sit, I know that a Statement cannot solve the issues that you are addressing, Sen. Mungatana. I wish Sen. Okenyuri could come up with a Bill. That would really help because I know we have that challenge of people...

In the Liaison Committee, we unanimously agreed that we need to have Quarterly Reports from the Chairpersons. A request will be in the Senate Business Committee...

That is a valid concern. However, now maybe the owner of the Petition is not aware that the Petition was executed by another Senator sometimes back. Therefore, the Chairperson of the Committee will work on it to know whether for sure they need to go back there or whether there...

Sen. Beth Syengo, please proceed. Lenana School is a school that everybody would like to be associated with. So, I will give two more Senators to welcome the students.

Hon. Senators, I was to challenge you this afternoon on whether you went to Lenana High School, but luckily, I have got Senator for Homa Bay County, an old boy of Lenana High School.

Sen. M. Kajwang’, you are totally out of order. You cannot discuss the conduct of the Senator for Kakamega County. If he could be here to defend himself, it could be better. Now you want to attack him because he is not around. Please desist from that route. Withdraw that...
