Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to join other Senators in eulogising a great man of this nation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on behalf of my family, myself and the many friends that the late Rt. Hon. Raila has from Eldoret, I...

Sen. (Prof.) KamarThe reason the Tanzanian side is good is because Kenya has joined the group of eight. When the African free trade area was developed, it was open for eight countries to start a relationship and that is what happened. Tanzania and Kenya are in that group of eight...

Any information from a Professor cannot be verified by someone who is not a professor. However, I want to try a resident of Namanga. Yes, Senator Tobiko Peris, but make sure you do not contradict the good professor on her remarks.

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, professors are horrible because they handle several drafts.

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar So, the last draft which we agreed with the secretariat, has four. So, let me go back to that because that is what went to the Cabinet Secretary. I apologise. (Loud Consultations)

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Drafting is allowed.

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will start with the last one on the liquidator. In the response, the Cabinet Secretary has said that he has appointed a new liquidator. The current cooperative legal framework states that you can then appeal after that, within 30 days....

Hon. Senators, the result of the Division is as follows-

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me proceed and I will leave it at that. Isiolo is bleeding and it is not safe today. The Assembly is not safe after today. I am not safe after today. Isiolo people will not be safe after today. I can see the...

Lastly, we will hear from the Senator for Isiolo County. As is our tradition, the host Senator normally gets more time. Therefore, Hon. Senator, I will give you 10 minutes.

You cannot impute improper motive on your colleagues. If you want to proceed in that manner, you know what to do; substantive motions.
