Sen. M. Kajwang On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I might appear to be pre-empting you but when we had a sitting last Friday, there was a directive that you were to provide on the Division of Revenue Bill. I hope I am just being pre-emptive.

Sen. M. Kajwang Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the very detailed ruling on this matter. I am obliged to be guided by your wisdom and submit to your authority, even if I believe that there could have been certain areas of interpretation that I would have looked at differently....

Which Statement? Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, Statement (f) . It came to this House in March. To date, eight months later, a response has not been given. Could you guide us in the spirt of being dutiful, expeditious and useful to the citizens of this nation? When a...

Mr. Chairman, Sir, although the Bill is sponsored by Sen. Hassan, the amendments are by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I and

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, you ruled on this yesterday and I appreciate that the detailed statement was read yesterday. I have looked at the Statement and it is correct that the only part that is not satisfactory is on whether Safaricom paid the fees for the 4G frequency...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I propose to generate another statement request that is specific to the proceeds of the 4G licence.

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. I am guided. It is not correct that these police officers do not arrest on the spot. I have had a real life situation where copyright enforcers looking for software licence---

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just challenging the assertion that the police do not arrest because I have been in that situation. Could the Chairperson confirm that it is, indeed, true that the police do not arbitrarily arrest young people in matatus, buses and offices? Secondly---

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. Brevity is a difficult game for politicians. I will attempt to work within your framework. There are three organisations here. For the sake of brevity, I will just call them MCSK, KAMP and PRISK. A matatu operator is expected to get licenses...

Sen. M. Kajwang Mr. Speaker, Sir, what effort is the Government making to reduce these barriers on young people commonly known as matatu operators? It is not fair to subject them to licensing from these three different bodies.
