    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chair ordered last week that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government would be responding to a request for a Ministerial Statement concerning councillors. I can see that the Assistant Minister is here. He is sitting very comfortably and smiling. I believe that means he has the Statement ready. The Chair can, therefore, order that the Minister delivers the Statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the same point of order but on a more serious note, I am going to invite you to find the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance out of order. Under Standing Order No.98, I am inviting the Speaker to name him. The Chair has continuously given direction that the Ministerial Statement on the question of forward payments that Kenyans give to companies that start operating in this country, like the GTV and the lack of policy to protect Kenyans be answered. Now, is the third time he is neither here nor any explanation given. No Minister is volunteering to give information on his behalf. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is completely out of order. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, this is the first time. If he is ready, he will tell us. If he is not, we can give him the leeway. But, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is failing to come to this House with the Ministerial Statement for the third time. I invite you to find him out of order and name him."
