Therefore, let the process begin and let the summons indicate exactly what you require of the Minister and then that can be dealt with there; you can then table your report in the House. Mr. Kenyatta, can you address the second aspect? I want to move to Order No.8 and I want to hear you on the issue that you wanted to raise."

"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to make a request with respect to Order No.8 on the Order Paper today. I seek your indulgence and that of the House if this matter could be deferred. The reason for the request for deferment is that as you can see on the Order Paper, there are numerous amendments, or proposed amendments, some of them even new clauses to be inserted into the Finance Bill. Some of these amendments have far reaching consequences not just on matters pertaining to finance but also those that touch on other Ministries. That being the case, there is need for us to be able to go through these amendments in more detail as well as be able to engage with the various hon. Members who have proposed these amendments, so that we ensure that we will be able to handle these in a manner that will not be disruptive to the normal course of doing business in our own economy. With those brief remarks, I kindly request that this matter be deferred until such time that I will be able to go back to the House Business Committee (HBC) for it to be put back on the Order Paper."

"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a little bit concerned that the Minister is saying that there are issues that touch on Ministries, and also new clauses in the Finance Bill. I am one of those who have a raft of amendments to the Finance Bill, some of which are very urgent. As you know, as we go around this city today, there is no paraffin and petrol. Kenyans are suffering. One of those amendments targets the hoarding of essential commodities required by Kenyans. The other one is about regulating the interest rates that the banks are using to fleece Kenyans, and it is very important. I want to say that it is good to engage the Minister. I am willing to engage him. I was with him today alongside bankers. Something has to be done urgently. I want to plead with the Minister to let us deal with this economy using legislative channels; unless we do that, our people will never forgive us. Thank you."

The Speaker will be communicating on this issue on Wednesday next week; so, the order will be deferred to Tuesday. In the meantime, of course, if the Minister and those who have proposed amendments wish to engage in urgent discussions, they will be fully entitled to do so, but the Speaker will be giving clarifications on those matters on Wednesday next week. Hon. Members, therefore, Order No. 8 will be deferred to Wednesday next week."
