"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am standing to attempt to persuade you under Standing Order No. 23 to give me a hearing. As you have realized, the issue of corruption is the most important thing in Kenya today. Hon. Members are constrained by the rules of debate to engage the Prime Minister. At the very best, the Prime Minister has remained casual and there is nothing we can do because when we stand on a point of Order, you cannot bring it out; you will have to be asked which Standing Order he has--- I am standing on this point of Order to request that this House goes into an adjournment. I am aware that for this to happen I would need to have served you with a notice at least two hours before. Because of the weight of the matter of corruption, I beg that you rely on Standing Order number 1, and allow me to be supported by at least 15 members or so in this appeal, and if I get that support, you overlook Standing Order No. 23 (2), so that we can engage in dialogue with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has been telling us of consultations and more consultations. It is because these consultations are taking too long that Kenyans and the donor community have lost confidence in the Free Primary Education Programme. If you could end the consultations quickly, then you would restore public and donor community confidence, then Free Primary Education funds will flow. We want this Parliament to be the one that will cause these two Principals, who are unable to admit publicly that they do not agree, to agree so that the country moves forward, I beg you to rule."
