Jubilee Coalition. I know they are desperate to decimate our numbers in this House and the Senate since we have a commanding lead in numbers. Therefore, I wanted your assurance that, as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission you will ensure that Members in this House from both sides of the coalition are secure within the precincts of Parliament.

I take note that this morning, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Interior and Coordination of National Government and the Inspector-General (IG) sort to designate areas where people can picket and demonstrate in and around this city and other parts of the country. In the same light, it is very important and critical that you, as the Chairman of the PSC, also designate a place that will not put Members of Parliament in danger of such demonstrators. It will be a place where anybody who intends to picket or demonstrate outside Parliament is designated a corner away from the gates ...

We must also not be blind to what has been happening in the recent demonstrations in this city. Yesterday, you saw the church building right next to Parliament, Bishop Cardinal Otunga Tower, being stoned. Cars inside All Saints Cathedral church compound were stoned. Hon. Speaker, I can hear a funny noise, and I am even more concerned.

Is it the rain? It is too heavy, Hon. Speaker, but it is okay. You can see the anxiety. I get concerned when I notice it is only Members of the Jubilee Coalition who sit in this Chamber, and who are, at certain times of the day, within the precincts of Parliament after the Members of the Opposition have made their technical appearance. If we are allowing demonstrators at the gates of Parliament and every other person to access Parliament, we are putting the lives of these Members of Parliament in grave danger.

I was talking about the demonstrations outside Parliament yesterday. The I-G and the CS have spoken out against these demonstrations, and it is critical. I heard Hon. Olago Aluoch here when he rose on a point of order to speak about this country burning out there. I could not help asking myself: “Who wants to burn this country?” If there is anything that these people know from the other side of the political divide, they would rather come out clearly and tell us. It is clear from the purported withdrawal from the elections the day before yesterday by the NASA ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know it is an opportune moment for many of us to make political statements on a very serious matter, but it is also very irresponsible of us in this House. This is a House that has been charged with the responsibility of appropriating resources. The Member from Turkana has said very unpleasant things about the Government. He may assume that he is speaking about the Government but he is talking about this House because it is this House which appropriates resources. Is the Member in order to say that this House is appropriating ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My point of order, despite the question of relevance, is on the misleading insinuations that Hon. Chris Wamalwa is advancing. One, he is already propagating – and the Leader of the Majority Party was very clear that we should not be selling propaganda even from the Floor of this House – that the reduction of the 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.

publication period from 14 days to one day is to deny the public participation, which is far from the truth? That is what Hon. Chris Wamalwa said verbatim and you can check from the HANSARD.
