Sen. Sifuna Bw. Spika, naamini ya kwamba Seneta anaposimama kuzungumza hapa, lazima aweze kuzungumza maswala ambayo anaweza kudhibitisha. Sidhani ya kwamba Seneta wa Kaunti ya Mombasa - ambaye namheshimu sana - anaweza kutoa idhibati yoyote kuonyesha kwamba uvutaji wa bhangi unapelekea watu kuruka vichwa. Hiyo ndiyo hoja yangu ya nidhamu.

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

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is good to see you back in that chair; we have suffered. However, that is beside the point. You are the one who has informed this House that there is a variance between the names that have been submitted before this House...

Sen. Sifuna Very much so, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, he has captured my fears. We are removing this Motion from the Order Paper. However, all the Clerk needs to do is to cut and paste it on tomorrow’s Order Paper. If there will be as much a variance as a comma, we...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Allow me to also join my colleagues to congratulate Sen. Murkomen on his appointment. As he said, we go some way back. He only failed to disclose a few bits of our history together. In my third year of university, he was...

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot refuse his point of information. Hold my time. (Laughter)

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my brother, Sen. Wakili Sigei, can help jog my memory. I remember Sen. Murkomen had a project which we defeated. That was Okonjo. (Laughter) October 26, 2022 SENATE DEBATES 24 Sen. Sifunalike him to support our Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) programme and a light...

Sen. Sifuna Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My point is that, we in the Minority side, had made certain promises. Had we won the election and be in control of the pasturing’s, the people who bring glory to this country, after finishing their tour of duty, would be actively...

Sen. Sifuna Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sifuna is bringing a very important point to this House. You cannot dismiss by saying the Speaker is applying Standing Order No. 1. The Speaker will only apply Standing Order No. 1, if there is no clear provision. However, there is a clear...
