Sen. Sang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would have preferred if the Senator stuck with that particular Standing Order because then I would be delivering the answer as the president but now that he has withdrawn, I am requesting for three weeks.

Sen. Sang We have difficulties dealing with the Attorney-General’s office and we have brought this to the attention of this House.

Sen. Sang We know the pace at which that office works.

Sen. Sang We have tried in the past--- November 4, 2014 SENATE DEBATES Sen. SangI think that is unfortunate. We must change things. We need to change things and we do not want to work at the pace of another officer who wants to delay our business. I am going...

Sen. Sang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you remember that the Senator for Vihiga brought to your attention that Sen. Abdirahman, on behalf of Sen.

Sen. Sang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in appreciating what the Senate Majority Leader did. In his response, he said that he talked to the President orally and in writing. Could you confirm to us that, indeed, when he spoke to the President orally, he...

Sen. Sang Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, the Chairman, in responding to that request for statement, I seek that he also give an indication on whether the attacks were politically motivated or not. If yes who are the political leaders involved?

Sen. Sang On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In recognising the former Prime Minister, the Rt. hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, you specifically left out the title “Right Honourable.” Was that by mistake or by design? October 28, 2014 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Sangdebate? What is your point of...

Sen. Sang Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, titles are very important. (Applause)(Applause)

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Njoroge, in his contribution, keeps on making statements wondering why this list is like this. There was a Kamukunji in this House, where, we, as a House, constituted this committee. So, what this Motion is actually doing is...

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is not fair for a leader to twist his stand. We all heard what hon. (Dr.) Khalwale said. In his explanation, he was insinuating that the beating took place because Sen. Sang encouraged people to attack the Governor’s Personal...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. It is a Bill that replicates the immunities and privileges accorded to Members of Parliament (MPs) from both the National Assembly and the Senate.
