This Committee has done a splendid job and if we are to respect the work of Committees in this House, I want Members to support this Motion. The Committee had the time to interrogate all the issues and all the aspects of these nominees and they have given us very clear observations. Hon. Wanga has just told us that a name was sneaked into the list that was brought to this House or rather to that Committee. I would even urge the Committee to probably have added a fourth recommendation to further investigate how that name got into that list. ...

The insinuations did not refer to anybody specific. I only spoke of the lords of impunity in the former regime, whom I will not entertain if they spoil anything in this Government. Let me say that the guilty ones are always afraid and move on. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying it is an interesting scenario where a panelists turns out to be an interviewee. Coincidentally, the same person turned out to score the highest marks. If we are to stand as a House and ensure there is fairness in recruitment of any position in this country; we must ensure that such panels as this Kamunge panel that was interviewing these people exercise a lot of fairness and justice in the people they interview. Therefore, the process of---

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to conclude by saying that, indeed the Committee has done a very good job. They have give us their observations which speak for themselves and the Committee Members and other Members who have contributed to this debate have made it clear that other than two of the names, they have got nothing else against the other people who were proposed in this list. Therefore, they have got every right in the near future, whenever this process is repeated for the same names to be reintroduced and interviewed a fresh and if ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order under Standing Order 108. As you will recall, the other day when we were in this House, during the Special Sitting on 5th September, 2013, hon. Washington Jakoyo Midiwo did refer to hon. Members of this House as thieves. On that day I do recall hon. Jamleck Kamau rising to ask hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to withdraw and apologize to Members of this House. The hon. Member did contend that he did not refer to hon. Members of this House as thieves. You did direct hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to ...

He went ahead and said: “Yes, you are thieves; that is why the country is failing; you are thieves.” I rise to invite you, as the Chair, to assist this House to be able to uphold its dignity. When a senior Member like hon. Washington Jakoyo Midiwo refers to Members of our Judiciary as thieves from the Floor of this House, he is, indeed, abusing his privileges as a Member of this House by accusing members of the Judiciary who cannot defend themselves on the Floor of this House. Worse still is to refer to hon. Members of this august ...

I am, therefore, this afternoon, pursuant to Standing Order No.108, asking you do find hon. Jakoyo Midiwo to have been grossly disorderly. I invite you to name the said Member for his gross disorderly conduct in this House, because we must respect not just the dignity of this House and the Members in this House, but also those who are outside this House like members of the Judiciary who were referred to as thieves on the Floor of this House, yet they cannot defend themselves in this House. Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo should have substantiated his claim; our constituents were greatly ...

On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I just want to enquire whether the Leader of the Minority Party, a man whom I have tremendous respect for, is in order to mislead the House that the USA never commits crime? Those were his words! Is he not insinuating that then we, as a nation, have committed crimes and that is why we seek to leave the Rome Statute? He further said that the USA is the only superpower in the world and I dare tell him if that if the USA is a superpower in the world, Kenya is ...
