Sen. Osotsi I would have wished to contribute to the statement by Sen. Dullo. I do not know what your position is because I think the matters raised in it are very weighty. If you can allow me to comment on that.

Sen. Osotsi I want to support the statement by Sen. Dullo regarding the security situation and the state of governance in Isiolo County. In the statement, she made reference to the events during the presidential visit to Isiolo. In the statement, you can clearly see that there were some governance...

By tomorrow when the House sits, bring the evidence to substantiate the looting.

On a point of order.

Can there be a point of order on my ruling? Proceed, Sen. Methu.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not want to interrupt. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 97 and invite you to look at it. As the deputy party leader of the ODM mentioned, we are misusing Standing Order 105. The Senator has spoken on the same matter of substantiation, with your...

You can swallow without eating.

Hon. Senator, you know the parliamentary language to use when you are referring to your colleagues. Can you withdraw the reference or use of the term “boys” to describe a Senator? Sen. Osotsi Madam Temporary Speaker, I am sorry for that. I withdraw. I was just demonstrating a point.

Sen. OsotsiThere are countries which are divided, but whenever they go to the international scene, they come together. I can give you an example of Nigeria, which is historically divided between the North and the South. However, when the national team of Nigeria; the Super Eagles, is playing, even Boko...

Sen. Thang’wa, when you make a serious allegation, it is your responsibility under Standing Order 105 to substantiate.

Sen. Osotsi, you have another point of order?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not want to keep interrupting Sen. Thang’wa, but the point of order I raised was on the issue that Hon. Raila and President Ruto are looting. He had not responded to that. He has only brought in the issue of broad- based government that some...

Sen. Thang’wa, you either substantiate or withdraw that.

Sen. Osotsi We can ask the Senator: Is Ruto looting? February 19, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 48

Sen. Osotsi, you are the one who raised the need for him to substantiate. So, let him finish to know if you are satisfied with the answer or not. Sen. Osotsi Madam Temporary Speaker, substantiation is not done by the way of a request for statement. It is done by...

Sen. Karungo.

Sen. Thang’wa, you still have not substantiated that issue. Are you able to present the substantiation documents now or do you need to bring them by tomorrow?

I will bring them by tomorrow, Madam Temporary Speaker.

What is your point of order, Sen. Methu? Proceed.

Sen. Osotsi, the substantiation on Moi University is an issue that can be handled by the Chair. It will be communicated. I ask the Clerk to ensure that an opportunity is offered for that evidence to be reviewed and a ruling to be made. Sen. Okiya was not denied an...

Sen. Osotsi It is important you use the Parliamentary language. When you say bread-based--- An Hon. Senator: Time to eat. February 19, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 47 Sen. Osotsi vied for the AUC Chairmanship and lost. Many other Kenyans would have done that who are not necessarily in Government.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.
