Sen. Olekina Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to give my few unorthodox views on this Statement. This Statement has come at a very sensitive time in this country when our children seldom know whether they are Maasais, Kikuyus or Kalenjins. I long for the time when we can...

Sen. OlekinaI think the Ministry ought to put huge corridor, say, of four or five kilometres long for wildlife conservation. If we do not do so, hunting will continue and our wildlife will diminish.

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

What is your point of order, Sen. Poghisio?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Chair has noticed that my good friend from Narok has proceeded to deal with the Statement as though it was directed to him because he is now giving solutions. The purpose of a Statement is--- (Sen. Olekina stood up...

Order! Sen. Poghisio is on the Floor. Please, resume your seat.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the whole idea of seeking for a Statement is for the relevant Committee to interrogate it. Therefore, the Senator should let the Committee do its work instead of him giving answers to issues raised here. Otherwise, it will not best serve the purpose for which it...

Sen. Olekina Asante sana, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili nichangie “Mswada” huu kuhusu shida ambayo Wakenya wanapitia kufuatia malipo ya stima. (Laughter)

Sen. Olekina Bw. Spika, kwanza kabisa, nashukuru kwa kukosolewa. Ni lazima Wakenya waelewe shida ambayo tunajaribu kutatua hapa. Bw.

Sen. Olekina Mhe. Spika, nakushukuru kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili nichangie mjadala huu kuhusu ukosefu wa nidhamu kwa wanafunzi. Zamani tulipokuwa shule, wakati tulipokuwa “Kidato cha Kumi” ama Form Two, kulikuwa na unyanyasaji wa wanafunzi. Mjadala huu ni wa maana sana kwa sababu katika shule nyingi katika nchi hii, wanafunzi...

Sen. Olekina Bw. Spika, Waswahili walisema, asiyefunzwa na mamake, hufunzwa na ulimwengu. Nimekubali kufunzwa na wenzangu kwa sababu mimi nimefanya direct translation. Nimetafsiri kuwa kile ambacho Wazungu wanasema 10th Grade; ambacho ni kidato cha kumi ukifanya utafsiri huo. Lakini nimeshukuru kuelezwa ya kwamba ni kidato cha pili. Tukiwa hapa, sisi...

Sen. Olekina Mhe. Spika, nashukuru sana kwa kunisaidia ili niweze kumaliza. Seneta mwenzetu ameleta taarifa ambayo ametueleza ya kwamba kuna wanafunzi ambao wanadhulumiwa katika shule zetu na kuwafanya watoroke shule. Mheshimiwa Spika, nimeshukuru. Asante. (Laughter)

Sen. Olekina On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Olekina Mheshimiwa Spika, sijabobea katika lugha ya Kiswahili lakini ningependa dada yangu afafanue kile ambacho anachokiita “mzungumzishi” kwa sababu mimi ninajua kwamba wewe ni Mheshimiwa Spika unapoketi hapo.
