    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the guidance. The proposed amendments by Hon. Wandayi, which he has now purportedly withdrawn, were on the Order Paper since October last year. I need your guidance on that. This Report can be debated on Tuesday so that any other Member of that Committee or any other Member of the House can bring back those amendments. Those amendments belong to a number of colleagues, and now Hon. Wandayi is not in the House to propose them. He has not told us whether he has “eaten” or been seen by the forces of sugar. Therefore, this Report, through your guidance, should be shelved so that it comes to the Floor of the House on Tuesday and then other Members can propose those amendments. The amendments are very important. You cannot just have amendments on the Order Paper since October last year and then you purport to withdraw them this afternoon. I am told the Members of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives were aware of that amendment. He was proposing it on behalf of the Committee. We should not play games. We represent the people of Kenya. This is similar to the Report on the Judicial Service Commission. When amendments are on the Order Paper on a very controversial report like the one on the sugar crisis, they should not be withdrawn. With regard to the amendments on the Judiciary Service Commission Report, all the Members have not withdrawn their amendments. Hon. Speaker, none of the hon. Members, including Hon. Chepkong’a, Hon. David Ochieng and Hon. Amina Abdalla, has withdrawn their amendments. Their amendments have been there since October last year. Those amendments by Hon. Wandayi were on the Order Paper. A number of the members of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives were part and parcel of those amendments. We do not want those tricks to be played in the House unless a reason is given as to why he is dropping his amendments. I am sure The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
