Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to confirm and go on record that, if I raise an issue as a Member for Garissa Town and I am not here--- Hon. Alfred Keter, in my opinion and he is my very good friend, should have either come to support or to oppose this Report. I am not imputing anything else.

which was in our pledge and Manifesto, somebody decided to work with crooks and businessmen to smear the name of the President. Today, that person is not here. I watched. The standard gauge railway is a serious issue in our country. The media played it for many days. Members went to talk shows and names of great leaders, including the Deputy President and the President, their character and the character of the Government was put to question as far as this matter is concerned. What do we have today? The oversight role of Parliament under Article 95 has been upheld. ...

You told the President and the Jubilee Government that your baby is clean and it will be born. The baby was born in highly profiled publicized forum attended by even those who brought the nappies; the Prime Minister of China. If you want to lead a political party in this country, you must stand for integrity. This Committee has raised something very fundamental. The baby has no defects. The baby is as good as my four year old baby called Abubakar. It has a father and a mother. He has insurance. The money is paid, the baby will go to ...

I am very sorry for my good friend the former hon. Prime Minister, who taught me politics. Hon. Keynan and his Committee have made fundamental recommendations, and I want to go to that. It is about the independent consultancy. They say a fresh transparent, free and independent consultancy for this railway must be carried out if this House approves. With no case, with the disappearance of one hon. Linturi, Madam Ann Waiguru is off the hook. I am telling my good friend the Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure. The trap has been set. There are many Linturis in this House and ...

Keynan and your Committee, you have even told the Presidents of East Africa like hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, hon. Kaguta Museveni and hon.

No! Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am relevant because hon. Alfred Keter is the common denominator in the standard gauge railway. There is no way you can discuss standard gauge railway without my good friend hon. Alfred Keter, unless you are telling me, like the Leader of Minority, I did not go to a good school. I did not go to a village school. I went to one of the best schools and I was there with hon. Keynan. I went to Moi Forces Academy in the City. It is in Buruburu.

Yes! Military is good because we are the ones who read the condolences of a brilliant military man. So you must respect the military. I want to urge my colleagues that the Constitution has given us a function to make sure we do oversight, representation and legislation. I want to tell my colleagues that the Executive has a function. We should play our oversight role, represent and legislate. The work of the Executive is to implement while the Judiciary is the overseer of the two arms of the Government.

I want to tell my colleagues that when we raise an issue, let us raise it based on the interests of the people of Kenya. Let us not raise issues because of rent-seeking. Let us not raise issues because we want to get some money to hire a chopper to Garissa or Suba.
