Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to request the Vice Chairperson to probably consider directing that we be given copies of that statement in advance because there were statistics there. We would like to see whether those statistics tie with what is on the...

Yes. July 30, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

That is exactly what the Chairperson has said.Sen. Kanainza, the Vice Chairperson has sought to give you the statement tomorrow, number one, so that she can interrogate it and be satisfied, and two, so that she can give you a copy so that you can read it and interrogate it...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week when the matter was raised, the Chair, indeed, did direct that the statement in response be brought to this Committee today. I would like to know why the statement was handed over to the Vice Chairperson as she walked into the Senate,...

Vie Chairperson?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to my colleagues and more so to Sen. Kanainza, I think as the Vice Chairperson of this Committee, I tried my best to have this statement given today. This statement was requested on Thursday and we had only Friday. Again,...

Thank you.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The importance of the statement sought by Sen. Kanainza on this issue cannot be underscored. It is so important and it is likely to be diluted with time. We know that the July 30, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

elsewhere and does not appear to answer some questions in the House. Would I, therefore, be in order to request that you order that the Chairperson of the Committee must be in the House tomorrow to give this reply? I am afraid that if the Chairperson of the Committee is...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think our Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations needs help because I know they are trying very hard. In fact, you heard the Vice Chairperson say that she has called the PS severally. I do not know whether we have to be that hopeless....

I am much obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Thank you.

All of us! Not all of you; Sen. Kanainza is the one who sought the statement. Once she gets the copy she can distribute it. I am certain that you can also get a copy from the Clerk’s Office if you wish, but I am not going to order that...

What is it, now? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want it to be so clear that the Vice Chairperson of this Committee must give the answer to this statement because all Kenyans are watching. July 30, 2014 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Kanainzathe bigger problem is the hundreds of Acts of Parliament which were passed before the new Constitution was promulgated. We cannot blame anybody because they were passed at a time when we had the national Government. So, we really have to go through them to make sure that they...

Hon. Senators, every Senator in the House has contributed to this Bill. Therefore, I now call upon the Mover to reply.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I want to thank very profusely all those who have contributed to this Bill, and even more important, all those who have stayed on up to now when I am replying. Some Members come in, contribute and go out. It is always...
