Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a curious matter that we still have IDPs in the country. It is something that pricks my curiosity. This is because, before Parliament, that is in the National Assembly and I think if I am not mistaken, even before this Senate, there have...

Sen. Cheruiyot Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the answers that the Cabinet Secretary has given more so on what we are doing as a country. This is because it is embarrassing that we are gathered here in the 21st century - a big economy in this region -...

Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is very interesting information we are listening to this morning. I listened very keenly to Sen. Chute, especially when he rose on a point of order, though, ideally, he is not permitted, but you allowed him. That was very good. The information he brought...

Sen. Cheruiyot My apologies, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Hon. colleagues from the Minority side, the point is that, it is time they made up their mind, whether they believe in this process or they do not. Otherwise, this business of on one day giving the Senate sessions - as they have...

Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. speaker, Sir, my point precisely is, that when it comes to matters politics and law, the National Assembly on many occasions gives the Senate the short end of the stick, and on this occasion, the Minority side. While they do that, Sen. Sifuna, I would like to...

Sen. Cheruiyot Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I followed your introductory remarks when welcoming this delegation. I realized that you may have forgotten to introduce my good friend and a good gentleman, the Hon. Shakeel Shabbir who is part of the delegation. When I saw him, I thought that...

Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, before Sen. Cherarkey read the concluding part of his Statement – you would think this is a conspiracy – I moved to the Clerks’ Table. I asked the Deputy Clerk, Mr. Mohamed, about the Standing Order which indicates the people who can address this Parliament....
