Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki I think I do wish to be informed.

Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki Thank you very much for informing me. I think the former Minister is very informed, although I must add that I think Kshs150 million to cover all the areas under livestock is very small. What we are now talking about as a Senate is that, it is...

Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki Mr. Speaker, Sir, in your ruling on the issues raised by Sen. Khaniri, I thought there was a fundamental issue he raised which you did not address. I think it has come up again and again in this House but it has never been addressed. Here we...
