Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I want to start by confirming my support for this particular Motion which is founded in the Constitution. The point that Sen. Orengo is trying to emphasise is the use of devolved resources. Article 175 (b) speaks...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just talking about what I see when I fly over the counties of Kenya.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Most obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I end this, it is my dream that when my children will fly over Kenya, they will see an equal Kenya and not a Kenya which is unequal. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I thank you for...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on two points of order. First, I want to thank you for that Communication, which has created a way forward. At the moment, we are fairly uncomfortable. It looks like we will have to re-look at some of the decisions that were...

Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale Yes, pigs! Whereas my point of order is not intended to interrogate--- (Hon. Senators applauded Sen.(Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o as he walked into the Chamber) Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Senators are applauding the arrival of Nyong’-Nyong’---

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, for that correction. My point of order is not intended to interrogate the merits or demerits of that particular demonstration. However, given the structure that we have around the Senate, at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) and between the KICC and where our offices...

Order, hon. Senators! Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, if a student spends Kshs500 a day and there are 10,000 such students, simple arithmetic says that Kshs5 million is spent in that town every day. So, how can Sen. Kagwe, a man I respect, pretend that he does he not...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am rising to seek a further clarification from you because when political parties were nominating senators, they were not nominating them because of the geographical area they come from; they were nominating them as their party members. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when a Senator...

Sen. Khalwale

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Hon. Senators, as you may be aware, in the earlier ruling that the Speaker made; for a Motion related to counties to pass, there must be, at least, 24 Ayes. Therefore, the Motion to amend is lost.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are some Senators who are not with us here and yet they supported the Motion. How will you handle this?
