Sen. Lesuuda Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice and pick up from where Sen. Billow has left. All these petitions show that people believe in two things; one, that devolution must work. They also know the role of this House. That is why they are May 21st,...

Sen. Lesuuda On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is on the same note Sen. Murungi has raised. I think Sen. Bule said that they do not fear Al-Shabaab or the bandits because they know how to deal with them and they actually know them. I think those...

The sooner you conclude your contribution, the sooner I will make my ruling. What is your point of order, Sen. Orengo?
