Sen. (Prof.) Kindikinobody is talking about it. Instead, we are talking about the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister and more members of parliament.I have heard people defend the 70 per cent of Gross Domestic Produce (GDP) debt burden in this country as sustainable; it is not. I have heard...

Sen. (Prof.) Kindikifew counties where this crop is grown, the farmers have been left on their own both by the national Government and the county governments of our country.I know that there was a feeble attempt by the Governor of Kitui County to do something about the crop, but I...

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I could see as if you are squinting. Thank you. Order! Sen. Cheruiyot, why are you saying the things you are from where you are sitting.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I could see as if you are squinting.

The things you are saying are right, but they cannot be said from where you are sitting.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Yes, under Standing Order 48.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, your learned friend, Sen. Wetangula, should go back and read procedures of this House. I am on a point of order so I should be allowed to finish.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Which one? Order! Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, you are out of order! You cannot call a colleague a voting machine; that is not something we will entertain. However, having said so, I see a lot of movement and excitement on the Majority side. Hon. Senators, please, observe...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was making a very important point and, perhaps that is why I was being interrupted so that it gets drowned. In the budget review outlook paper that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) placed before our Committee and the Houses of Parliament the level of...

How will we survive if we get to a point where for every revenue that we will be collecting, close to Kshs60 or Kshs70 out of Kshs100 we will be servicing our debt? Therefore, I want to persuade my colleagues who may have been lobbied or whatever means that may...

Order, Sen. Cheruiyot!

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, “whipped” is the word that I wanted to use.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) :(Laughter) What is it, Senate Majority Leader?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when Sen. Cheruiyot came to this House, you remember I am the one who brought him here for introduction to this Chamber. Therefore, I would least expect him to use unparliamentary language and say that I am “heckling”. If it was Sen. Gideon Moi, I would...

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Order, Sen. Kang’ata! I gave you a chance to contribute and you were not here. Now you are here and causing havoc. (Laughter) On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Okay, but let us not prolong this. November 5, 2019 SENATE DEBATES 30

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you heard Sen. Orengo right, I just told him, “follow me”; whether it was Friday this way and Monday this other way, nothing changed. (Laughter)

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : I think that is enough information. There is another one from Sen. Wamatangi.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : The letter is authored by a law firm but they have also attached an order of the High Court.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wonder why the Chairperson of County Public Accounts and Investment Committee is trying to be so defensive when it comes to the affairs of the governors. He should leave this House---

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am glad that you have reaffirmed that I am entitled to my opinion just as everyone else is entitled to their various opinions whether we agree with them or not. The point I am trying to make is looking...

All I can confirm is that I have tabled a letter here by M/S Havi and Company Advocates that was received by the Senate. Deputy Speaker ( Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : I hear as if you are on a point of order trying to explain that...

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) :Order, Sen. M. Kajwang. I have seen that letter from a lawyer that was served on us. We receive thousands of letters every day. That does not mean a court order has been served.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just tabled the letter and you have not scrutinized it, how then would you know what I have tabled?

Sen. M. Kajwang, that letter is in my office. Do not trivialize debate. That letter from a lawyer is in my office. I know its contents. We have asked the relevant officers to consider it. There is no court order which has been served on the House.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me then to conclude my submission.

Please do.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

What is it, Sen. (Dr.) Langat?

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to second this very important Motion to establish an ad hoc Committee to investigate and manage the equipment services. This is a very important Motion, because as we know very well, health is a devolved...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to second this very important Motion to establish an ad hoc Committee to investigate and manage the equipment services. This is a very important Motion, because as we know very well, health is a devolved function and it is...

Sen. (Dr.) Kindiki): It is two minutes, Sen. Wetangula. Sen. (Dr.) Kindiki): Order! Sen. Wetangula, use a better term.

His not so convincing views on the matter---

Fine, that is acceptable.

Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki) : What is it, Sen. (Dr.) Ali? Sen. (Dr.) Ali: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is Sen. Omanga in order to--- (Applause)

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Part of this Motion is ridiculous or we are being treated to some kind of comedy. When I was growing up, there was a programme called “Reddykyulas” where the comedians used to imitate some personalities. I think this is the kind of thing we...
