June 26, 2024 SENATE DEBATES 19 Sen. Cherarkey I know there is wisdom in adjournment. However, the Chamber is somehow functional. I have seen on a lighter note that some of us have been having reservations about the food served here. I saw the Gen Zs saying that the Chef...

Sen. Cherarkey Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know you are finishing. However, under Standing Order No. 105, I do not know what the senior meant by saying that the CDF died because of this menace. I wish he rephrased and said: He died because he had visited there to fight...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Veronica Maina) What is your point of order, Sen. Osotsi?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise on Standing Order No. 105 on Statement of fact. Sen. Cherarkey has stated that this is the “Azimio amendment” when we know that this Bill before us is a product of the NADCO and Azimio was just one of the parties. Is he in order?...
