Sen. Sang Order! Order, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo! I have repeated that; in fact, I was very clear that you should not discuss things that preceded before the Motion came to the Floor. So, it is the things that you are saying that are out of order. If you do not...

Sen. SangThere is a problem with there! Exactly! We want to know the true population census of this country. This is because there are some counties which are having what is not theirs. That is a fact.

Sen. SangOn a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not mind what Sen. Moi calls me because I am alive to the fact that it is not the messenger that counts, it is the message. The message is: If you were, indeed, for 24 years looking after...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know this is a Procedural Motion and ordinarily all of us would be requesting you to put the question. But it is important to raise a few things with regard to this Procedural Motion. As I support the Motion, I want to congratulate the...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to go into greater details. But as we celebrated one year of the Jubilee Government a number of leaders were asked to give their views with regard to the performance of the Government. A number of leaders, including the Senate Minority...

Sen. Sang Mr. Speaker, Sir, the chairperson has eloquently captured the fact that some forest evictees from Embobut were paid Kshs400,000 as compensation including the Senator himself. He will be able to clarify that. In my county, we have over 3,500 forest evictees from Kipkurere Forest who have been out...

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government in order to mislead this House that one of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) went to court when the true position is that the person who went to court is an...

Sen. Sang Proceed! (Loud consultations) Is that another point of order? Sen. Sang Madam Temporary Speaker, the distinguished Senator for Kakamega has mentioned two Bills that are, in his view, out to kill devolution. But he forgot two other Bills that also have the potential to kill devolution, and they...

Hon. Senator, I appreciate your sentiments, but can we stick to the contribution of Sen. Elachi? When that issue of the other two Bills, which have not been referred to, comes up, then I think we will deal with it at that time. So, Sen. Elachi, please, withdraw your remark...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I withdraw.

Proceed! (Loud consultations)

Sen. Sang Proceed! Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for allowing me to contribute to the President’s Speech. As a Senator representing people with disabilities, I was somehow happy simply because he talked about the 30 per cent procurement of Government contracts to women, youth and people with disabilities. The Government...

Sen. Lonyangapuo, I believe that you are making introduction to your contribution. As you proceed, could you substantiate and satisfy the inquiry from Sen. Sang? Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to confirm to my colleagues who come from the other side of the House, these percentages I am giving are...

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Muthama in order to mislead this House that Sen. Murkomen is a chairperson of any Committee in this House? Could he withdraw and apologise or substantiate?

Sen. Sang On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The hon. Senator has repeatedly made the same remarks that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale sought your guidance on. Is he in order to suggest that certain communities in this country believe that once an individual has read the Constitution, it...

Sen. Sang Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Before I make my remarks, I want to take this opportunity to condole with the families of 15 people who lost their lives this morning in a grisly road accident in my county. This was a 14 seater matatu travelling from Eldoret...

Sen. Sang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I regret having accepted to be informed because that is not very relevant. However, law enforcement officers must take responsibility. We hope that as we investigate the circumstances under which that accident occurred, the traffic police officers will take responsibility, especially the Traffic Commandant...

Sen. Sang Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would say “intentional misinformation” by some of these individuals. We have seen county governments putting a lot of resources in functions that are not devolved. It shows clearly that some of these county governments do not understand their mandates because they should be...

Sen. Sang Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I seek clarification from the Chairperson, with your indulgence. When the Chairperson of this Committee responds to this issue, he should not just limit himself to the IDPs in this country courtesy of the Post Election Violence (PEV) and the other ethnic clashes...
