Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I cannot concur more with you in that Solomonic ruling relating to that matter, but as you have said, we must be a House of procedure and we must follow our own Standing Orders. Indeed, Hon. Speaker, you remember that during the 11th Parliament, I did move a Motion to name the then Member for Nyando, who is now the Senator for Kisumu, Sen. Fred Outa. We did debate that Motion and we, as a House, named the Member for gross misconduct. However, my point of order is in relation to what you were saying. I ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, it is that correction I want to make because I indicated to the Clerk of the Committee at the time I was invited to appear before it that the Question had since been overtaken by time. It is important that Questions are answered expeditiously and on time when they are asked. The Question was related to payment of pending bills. It had already been overtaken by events by the time the Committee was inviting me to get an answer. I had appropriated Ksh6.2 billion towards payment of pending bills for correctional services.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am Chair Emeritus; I am no longer the Chair of Budget. I want to support that amendment. We cannot punish good acts and acts that are done in good faith.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to correct part of the misinformation relayed by the Minority Whip. Indeed, the only person who captured it right is the Minority Whip.

Therefore, I still maintain my position to oppose because in six months’ time manufacturers will increase the price of unga on account of zero-rating going down. It would have been more beneficial to the people of Kenya to maintain the zero-rating just as we did for bread and milk. We should do the same for consistency even for unga . With that I oppose.
