Sen. Shiyonga Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to talk on the embassies.

Sen. Shiyonga Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate Sen. Faki for having sought this Statement. It is so sad when you hear that services have been transferred without the authority of the counties. As much as we have devolution in our country, we also need to empower...

Sen. Shiyonga

Sen. Shiyonga Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Statement by Sen. Halake. It is true that when prisoners are detained, they undergo corrective measures in their respective prisons. However, as much as we say that we should give them certificates of good...

Sen. Shiyonga Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We should assess our prisoners who come back to the community before awarding them the certificate of good conduct that will enable them to continue with their lives.

Sen. Shiyonga Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have an intervention. I appreciate what my colleague has said. His work plan is good but when he comes to Kakamega, he should remember that we are also there in as much as Sen. Malalah is the leader of the delegation. Can he...

Sen. Shiyonga Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ---

Sen. Shiyonga The ‘scooping’ again comes; here it comes---

Sen. Shiyonga All of the National Assembly needs to be ‘scooped’---

Sen. Shiyonga It is because they do not know their mandate---

Sen. Shiyonga It is removing them without any consent. They do not have a responsibility---

Sen. Shiyonga Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I conclude by saying that there are more Petitions that come to this House. This is an indication that Kenyan citizens have a lot of trust in us. Therefore, the House of Senate needs to remain and the National Assembly needs to go home.
