    "content": "Order, hon. Members! The Ministerial Statement relating to CDF funding will be forthcoming tomorrow afternoon. The Minister will be engaged elsewhere in the morning. I have the following communication from the Chair. I wish to inform the House that I intend, this afternoon, to give the Right hon. Prime Minister time to issue a Ministerial Statement on matters relating to his portfolio as provided for in the National Accord and Reconciliation Act. However, before I do that, I would like to refer to the Constitution of Kenya Amendment Act No.1 of 2008, as to the definition of a Minister. \"A Minister, as defined in the Constitutional Amendment Act includes the President, the Vice-President, the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and other Ministers.\" The Prime Minister has intimated to my office that the Statement he will be making basically relates to issues in the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Lands, Office of the Attorney- General and the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission which, I am informed, falls under the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. As you are aware, hon. Members, the Standing Orders are being reviewed to provide for the Prime Minister's Question Time, among other things, and, indeed, allot more time for Ministerial Statements. Therefore, hon. Members, this opportunity given to the Prime Minister to issue a Ministerial Statement is given against that background, traditions and practices in other similar Commonwealth jurisdictions. Hon. Prime Minister, you may proceed!"
