Sen. Shiyonga Okay, I urge that the law be followed. However, Madam Temporary Speaker, I will forward that video to you, so that you look at the state that lady was in. She is our daughter because she is a Kenyan and it is sad. Let me tone down by...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. February 23, 2022 SENATE DEBATES 30

There is a point of order by the Senate Majority Leader.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I have to train this young man that if he really wants to make a point he should be relevant. Is he in order to impute improper motive on a Member who is a very dignified Senator here that she intends to please somebody? Whom does she...

I think Sen. Cherargei was simply wishing her well that by her conduct she will have impressed everybody for her to get the ticket. Sen. Cherargei, please proceed.

Madam Temporary Speaker, that is what I was just saying, she has done well. Sen. Shiyonga is my Chairperson in the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration.
