Sen. Orengo Whatever it is, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Injury is a criminal offence. I withdraw that. However, even if they were two or any number, they were Kenyans killed. Those who were injured were 140. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what I am worried about is the outcome of those...

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Orengo Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is the hon. Senator in order to persistently continue to imagine and encompass that you, Mr. Speaker, if you are not there? Why does he not use an example of himself or myself? Is there something we do not know? (Laughter)

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We all agree that the Constitution supersedes any other legislation. “Article 238 (2) (a) of the Constitution says that the national security is subject to the authority of this Constitution and Parliament.” The matter raised by Sen. Hassan not only...

Sen. Orengo Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I said that I have information but I did not say that I was going to disclose the sources of my information. But if he has anything to suggest that the sources of my information are not correct, then he is free to say...

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a bit surprised that we stopped what we were doing to listen to hearsay. This is because we are trying to do the work of the two Speakers. If somebody is serious and he thinks that this House...

Sen. Orengo

Sen. Orengo Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really want to follow what Sen. (Dr.) Kuti stated; that a lot of these issues, really, we should not be rushing here and making public statements. It tends to exaggerate the problem more than it is. Honestly, if it were my way, and if...

Sen. Orengo Mr. Speaker, Sir, could I just have one more go at this?

Sen. Orengo The problem that I have is that we do not have a discussion. Article 229 (8) says that once you receive the reports, you must debate and consider them. So, if you want to use your discretion to deny us a chance to look at all the reports...

Sen. Orengo I have not finished the sentence.

Sen. Orengo On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am worried about what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has just said; that if the helicopter used in Bomet was from private sources, then that is alright. It is very dangerous if public service and work is being done on the...
