Sen. Osotsi I have informed him it is not just Kakamega, but also Vihiga.

Hon. Senators, do not take that opportunity for informing just to start debating or contributing to a statement. If you want to make a comment on that statement, I can give you that opportunity. So stop interrupting Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, so that he can conclude.

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

Sen. Osotsi Due to delays in issuing renewed licences, companies such as Safaricom cannot make critical investment decisions. Therefore, when we discuss MTR, I speak as an expert in the Information Technology (IT) sector. We must consider the matter in a wider context. We need to examine the overall business...

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the statement by the Senator for Nandi on the issue of medical equipment and generally, medical infrastructure in our hospitals.

Sen. Osotsithose who handle people who find themselves in police cells or any authority. When any of us imagines that this can only happen in Kenya, but when you are without Kenya, you should not enjoy those rights---I have seen people argue today in the context of the comments that...
