Sen. Leshore Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Lonyang’apuo for coming up with that statement. I just want to give him a rider on that; it was North Rift leaders, where he comes from, that are the grand leaders of the Pokot and Turkana. Peace has prevailed in that area...

Sen. Leshore Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to seek a statement or a directive from you. Most of these statements have been appearing in the Order Paper for the last one to six months. So, I have been thinking that the people who are supposed to reply are either lazy,...

Sen. Leshore Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. Sen. Haji has just spoken. The industries which are supposed to alleviate poverty levels among the pastoralists are leather industries, the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) and mining. All these industries are underfunded and ignored by this Government. I...

Sen. Leshore Order! The order of the Chair was very explicit. Could you withdraw and apologize? Even though you are my party leader, I am now the boss. The Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Wetangula) : The boss is driving me to behave like a machine. The instrument that the distinguished...

Sen. Leshore Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to correct Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. KWS is not involved in this issue. It is the county government which is involved. I think we would rather direct it to the Ministry of Devolution or the National Treasury.

Sen. Leshore Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I passed through the Kisumu-Kakamega- Webuye Road and saw that it is in a terrible state. However, could the questioner tell us why he is advocating for an international contractor instead of the local contractors?

Sen. Leshore Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I sympathise with the Merus. They are very good people. In Samburu, we refer to them as ‘ATMs’. When our young warriors want to exercise a raid, they go to Meru. I sympathize a lot with them. The Merus, the Borana...

Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me confirm to the House---

On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Order, Senators. You see, you cannot give information by force. Sen. Adan has not indicated that she wants to be informed and you cannot force her to be informed. Hold your peace until you have an opportunity, if any. Do you want to be informed Sen. Adan?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it seems he has a burning issue. Let him inform us.

Sen. Leshore Madam Temporary Speaker, when Jubilee came into power after the ruling by the Supreme Court - whether or not they stole the votes - we obeyed the law. If we resisted, what would have been the outcome? They would have sent police officers to the streets to clobber...
