Sen. Omogeni Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to thank the Senator for Laikipia County, Sen. Kinyua, for bringing this matter to the Floor of the House. The issues raised resonate with the challenges and problems faced by my people in Nyamira County. As you know, we are basically small-scale farmers....

Sen. Omogeni Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Cherarkey that touches on clinicians in our health sector, not the one at the Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC) . I do not know about it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have been a Governor. Therefore, you know...

Sen. Omogeni Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought the Chairperson of the Finance Committee in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) was going to be the bearer of good news. I thought he would say that tonight, he will have a word with His Excellency the President and by tomorrow, Nyamira County...

Sen. Omogeni Mr. Speaker, Sir, how can I lay blame on the gracious lady, Gov. Waiguru? All I urge is that we want to hear her voice, as the CoG Chairperson. She should come and address issues facing our counties. In fact, I want her to take personal effort, the...

Sen. Omogeni Mr. Speaker, Sir, advise Sen. Kinyua that he cannot speak twice on the same issue. He is totally out of order. (Laughter) The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) Sen. Omogeni, that is my work. Kindly proceed. You are out of order, Sen. Kinyua. (Laughter) Sen. Omogeni Mr. Speaker, Sir, please,...

Point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir! The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) What is your point of order, Sen. Dr. Khalware? Sen. Omogeni Your son is a lawyer.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to interrupt my colleagues, who I respect very much. However, because we want to have a clear record of proceedings for posterity, may the record show that the people who fought for the second liberation were not limited to LSK alone. In fact,...
