Members to submit to you a written amendment, if they want to 4090 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 20, 2007 propose any. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are all, however, in a predicament. None of us had the opportunity to look at this Order Paper in the House in advance so as to move any amendment if necessary. So, because of that, I really would like to seek your indulgence. In Clause 2, if I read it clearly, the Minister is proposing that the provisions of this Bill can actually be excluded from application. They can be suspended on the basis of conventions and other international instruments ratified by Kenya. You know of the recent East African Community (EAC) Treaty saga? Parliament is never involved in the ratification of these conventions. It would be very unfortunate to put conventions, which are not ratified by Parliament, in Bills, or laws, passed by this House. So, my request is that I be allowed to propose an amendment that the entire Subclause (2) be deleted altogether."
