Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion as drafted. The CPAC, CPISFC and the Committee on Delegated Legislation are very important. Article 226 is clear on accounts and audit of public entities and the county is one of them. For the last 10 years, counties have...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yes, Sen. Cherarkey does not quote what Standing Order he is rising on most times. Most of the time, it is frivolous or just to interrupt so that the people of his county can see him. He is my good friend. He never states...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this great speech. From my experience in Parliament in the last ten years, this was the shortest speech ever. A former Governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua, boasted of having advised the President to make the speech very short....
