Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I do not know why the microphones are not working today.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just on a point of order under Standing Order No.1. The Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts did write a letter on 21st August, 2023, to the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate. In that letter, he...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for that guidance. I rise to ask Question No.053 to the Cabinet Secretary of Youth Affairs and Sports.

Sen. Mariam Omar, you may have the Floor. (Resumption of debate on the Bill)

What is your point of order, Sen. Cherarkey?

Senator for Nandi County, I believe Sen. Omogeni’s statement was prompted by you and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. If anything, Sen. Omogeni did not discuss the merits or demerits of the matters that are before court. He merely made an observation that they have proceedings which are active, which is a...

I am saying “if”! Sen. Osotsi, what is your point of order? Hold my time.

I said “if” and the HANSARD can bear me witness. I am willing to look at the HANSARD. I said: “Is it possible”? Some of us went to schools of good English. I have said: “Is it possible”?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, can you take control? Can the Senator be heard in silence? I do not know why the Senator for Uasin Gishu is getting excited. Kouyo kasus sogoriet. (Laughter)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. We need to start taking English classes because it seems we are getting confused. However, I will delete the part that referred to “the community”. I said very well that if there is a possibility that this is not a coincidence, I am...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I want to support the sentiments of my colleagues who have contributed before me. I think as a country we must agree that there is a Kiswahili saying that says “Mbuzi anakula kwa urefu wa kamba yake.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Thank you for informing my colleague, Sen. Cherarkey, that the Bill is sponsored by the Senate Majority Leader.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order Nos.96 and 101, we need to be responsible in the statements that we make. This is a House of rules and order. Therefore, to assert that I am being treated with kid gloves is misleading. This is because I have received the punishment....

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I made a mistake earlier by crossing the Bar without bowing, it appeared trivial.
