Sen. Elachi Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this adjournment Motion and, indeed, to look at what is happening around the country, especially in Marsabit. I want to put it clearly that it is also important for the leaders of Marsabit to come out clearly....

Further to that, I just want us to be all reminded that the Senate is superior to its organs and committees are organs of the Senate. So, if an organ does not execute its mandate, we cannot be stopped from deliberating on a matter. Therefore, let us proceed.

Madam Temporary Chairperson, I am on the amendment which states that a Senator shall be considered after they have attained one term. I am proposing that a Senator by virtue of being elected should automatically earn that honour without subjecting it to waiting the same way Ministers earn those honours...

Hon. Senators, before I put the question, I would like to apply my mind to whether this is a Bill concerning counties or not. Hon. Senators, Article 110 of the Constitution requires that a Bill concerns counties if it is a Bill containing provisions affecting the functions and powers of...

Therefore, it falls under Article 123(3) of the Constitution which is that these regulations are a matter which does not affect counties other than a Bill. So, in the usual manner since this is a matter that does not affect counties, we will be voting by simple majority.Now based on...

Sen. Elachi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion and, indeed, to thank the honorable Senator for Kajiado for moving it. When we talk about waste in this country, many people will remind us that, one, it is a place where many also have informal...
