Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, last year, I sought a Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on Roads and Transportation and it was like something happened. He has not communicated to me or otherwise. Now, do I have to remind him that I need the Statement now?

Sen. Karaba Yes, Sir.

Sen. Karaba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to issue a Statement. This one concerns the reinstatement of John Njoroge Maina, TSC No.256488.

Mr. Karaba On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The person who is controlling the microphone should make the sound audible, because we cannot hear the Professor very well. I cannot even hear myself well here. I hope that it is noted. Proceed, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o. Mr. Speaker, Sir,...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would wish to appreciate the Chairperson. The response from the Principal Secretary says that it was a theory paper and not a practical paper. Maranda High School is a very highly rated school. Even though the Chairperson says that the random numbers are used to...

Sen. Karaba Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also have a Statement to issue, and this Statement was sought by the Senator for Murang’a County, Sen. Kembi- Gitura, who is also the Speaker today. If you allow me, I can go ahead. What is the direction on this?

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you can see, it is not only me who is facing problems. I have been assisted by about five Senators and they were unable to log in! Mr. Speaker, Sir, these cards have no names. If the card drops out there, nobody will be...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments raised by my friend, Sen. Murungi. We were discussing with him how difficult it is to get these people. I was informed by staff of an office that I went to yesterday of curriculum developers that they are looking...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to my surprise, I am shocked that I am misleading the House when I am telling the truth. I have been in those offices physically. I even talked to the Director who was my college mate at one time. She assured me that as...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is apparent that requests for Statements on roads seem to be recurring in this House more often than not. I had also raised a similar concern of a road in my county and not much has been given in the form of an...
