Alice Ng’ang’a","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I noticed the shortcoming, but I want to tell the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party that I do not want to withdraw the statement because my work as the Chairlady is to transmit the response from the Ministry to the Member. This is not a committee report that we interrogated so that, once I present it here, I cannot disown it. When I read this Statement, I said I am going to invite the Principal Secretary and the Member to the Committee so that we can discuss this issue. It is not fair – and it is not in order – for the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party to tell me to withdraw the statement because I am the Chair. I am not the one who wrote this Statement. It came from the Ministry. If it is not correct, I cannot stand here to say it is correct because it came from the Ministry. I also do not agree with it. I only read what was transmitted to me. I am only transmitting it as chairpersons do. This is not a document that came from our Committee."}
