It is unfortunate that on my maiden day to bring some amendments, I had to drop them, which is very unfortunate. I had really prepared to convince my colleagues to listen to me and approve my amendments. As has been said, party leaders have spoken and we have to abide. That gives me a reason to start working and hope that 10 or 15 years from now, I will be in that position giving instructions to this Parliament. At the same time, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Speaker. Yesterday, when Hon. Olago Aluoch asked a question regarding the use of the Standing Orders to bring amendments, you pronounced yourself in a legal way. I appreciate what you said that everybody is at liberty to bring amendments to the House to decide. True to the fact, that is 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."}
