Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statements are awaiting signature by the CS in his office, and that is the information I got at 2:15 pm today. I have been struggling to have them signed to no avail, but if the orders allow---

Sen. Karaba

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a tall order. We only serve these questions to the Cabinet Secretary. Although it is our responsibility to make sure that we get a response, when you go to their offices, you will find they are not ready. We need to come up...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am trying to follow this matter seriously. As I indicated earlier, I have been to the offices of the Ministry to make sure that these answers come to the House. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the answers from the Cabinet Secretary. I...

Sen. Karaba

Sen. Karaba On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Since the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure will be coming here on 3rd May, 2016, is it possible for the request to be included among the issues he will tackle?

Sen. Karaba Next week on Thursday. Since the Statement has already appeared, let us bring the Statement on Tuesday next week. This is about closure of a university. Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a public holiday on Monday. What does that have to do with Tuesday? Sen. Karaba...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday, 30th March, 2016, Sen. Elachi raised the following question to the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education regarding the management of Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. She wanted to know what informed the decision of the university to employ Prof....

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, you noted that there was digression from the question to a point where we lost track. In this case, I assume that Sen. Elachi can remember that the Statement sought was about the closure of the university. This was preempted. However, universities are run by...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate would wish that all the universities are run in the right way. We wish them the best of luck. So, we will not be skewed towards one university. In the case of Prof. Otieno, I undertake that within four days, I will find...

Sen. Karaba Order! Can I dispose of your point of order first? I confirm that if there was ever any communication between the machines, it can only be a monologue from your machine. My machine has no communication from you.

Sen. Karaba You may proceed.

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to my colleagues, this Government should be given credit with regard to the PPPP. The PPPP story commenced in 2005 and it was not until 2009 that the policy was done. In 2013, an Act of Parliament on PPPP was passed....

Order Sen. (Prof.)Thank you. On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If you heard it very well, there is an attempt to change the curriculum from the 8-4-4 system to a new one we do not know yet. It looks like Sen. (Dr.) Zani and the Chairman are...

Sen. Karaba

Sen. Karaba Order, just hold on. This is for the new hon. Senator; do not learn bad practice from Sen. Murkomen. This Chair is keen to listen to answers. (Laughter)

Order, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo! Neither the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education nor the questioner has the mandate on the administration of activities and display of the same at KICC. You are demanding for too much. These are Senators representing certain counties of this country. It stays like so.Statement...
