Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me quickly go to more serious issues. I want to add my voice to the issue of Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital (MLKH) that has been brought by Sen. Kibwana. Where MLKH sits today is where I used to play football as a young boy...

Sen. Cheruiyot But he enjoys chang’aa, and that is a fact. (Laughter)

Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, having seen how the question that you put is framed, since what is in question is not the Report of the Committee, it is the amendments of the Assembly, we reject them. We vote, no. That takes us to mediation.

Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a straight-forward matter which I wish my colleagues to understand. It is not my Report, but it is Sen. Ali Roba’s and Sen. Faki’s. It is Sen. Faki, Sen. (Dr.) Hamida and Sen. Eddy who should be explaining. They are Members of the...
