Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, I come from Eastern Province and have a great interest in this matter. Miraa was consumed from the day Kenya became a nation. Why was that chemical analysis not done before Kenyans started consuming it? Why is it being done now? The Kenyan Government has...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to ask Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki not command us in this House? He should not ask us to defect to Jubilee. We came here in our own rights. We were elected to come here. We...

(Question of the amendment proposed)

Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, I also stand here to support the Motion as amended bearing in mind the reason that the Government has always used to bring up multipurpose projects. I will give an example of Turkwel Dam. When the Government conceived the Turkwel Dam, it was a multipurpose...

Madam Temporary Speaker, when you go to Embu and Muminji and you look at Kiambere Dam, there are many people who have been eaten by crocodiles. There is need for the KWS to come in and make sure that the communities around benefit. You do not just compensate by giving...

Sen. Muthamaof the late former Minister, Mr. Njiru. My kind request is that we try and share the remaining minutes. We should allocate 10 minutes for each of us, maybe three or four minutes per speaker. July 4, 2013 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Muthama of the late former Minister, Mr. Njiru....

You are simply requesting that we reduce the contributing time from five minute to three minutes? Sen. Muthama Yes.

Going by the mood of the House, I think that is a general agreement. So, Sen. G.G. Kariuki, proceed and you have two minutes.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know what to say about the two minutes except that I need to---

Sen. Muthama Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I made it very clear that the late President decided to confuse the Wazungus. The language that we are about to speak is also meant to confuse everyone. All I am saying is that we want our resources protected.

Sen. Muthama Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, Tana River has not been spared. So, we need the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources to make sure that those natural resources, including many other rivers are protected, so that we can have...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I respond I wish to share my remaining ten minutes with my neighbour, Sen. Njoroge. We share the river and so I ask him to take the first five minutes.

Sen. Muthama Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank my colleagues for the great contribution they have made to this Motion and also the seriousness they have shown in the Motion. Without talking a lot, it has come out very clearly that we are dealing with natural resources. For...

Sen. Muthama Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion and, indeed, say that it is something that should have been done within the first few days of our being elected. Madam Temporary Speaker, what Sen. Kipchumba is proposing goes far beyond what is written in this...

Sen. Muthama What is it, Senate Majority Leader. What is out of order?

You said they walk without clothes! Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senator for Nyeri in order to speak about the merits of a Bill that was assented to by the President and that matter is before the court of law? June 25, 2013...
