Sen. Thang’wa Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My point of clarity is based on Standing Order No.53. it is also good to note that the new chairpersons are already tired, and they want to reduce the amount of statements that are going to their committees. My point of order is, if...

Sen. Thang’wa Thank you very much, Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to support the Report.

Sen. Thang’wa Thank you. I am a former Member of this Committee and I was part of the team that scrutinised the reports.

Sen. Thang’wa Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question to the good Cabinet Secretary is to give us the status update of the Githunguri and Thika Water and Sanitation Projects. We understand that the contractor approved the project under the financing agreement through Danida. So, we would want to know what the...

Sen. Thangw’a Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Nilitaka kukuomba umuadhibu mwenzetu hapa lakini amejitetea. Ni vizuri ijulikane katika Bunge hili kwamba wakati mwingine mawakili wako na madharau. Kila wakati wakili anaposimama anasema yeye ni wakili na anajua anachokisema. Lakini wakulima wakipewa nafasi waongee wanaambiwa wanyamaze.

Sen. Thangw’a Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Sina mengi ya kuongeza. Umeona vile wakili mwingine amesimama. Hawatupi nafasi sisi ambao sio mawakili tuongee. Lakini kwa sababu yeye ameomba msamaha, tukwamie hapo ili mkulima aendelee kuongea.

Sen. Thang’wa Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. After deliberations and understanding my role as a Senator, which is oversight and representation, I understand that is what we call a fair comment. I do not want to attract Sen. Osotsi again to stand and maybe ask for...

Sen. Thang’wa Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Osotsi, I just want you to understand that even when the ODM is in a broad- based government, they will continue making noise; you will see them. They have given them chairmanship and they are still making noise against the government....
