The first amendment I will start with is the one that hon. Alice Wahome has spoken to. The National Police Service Commission Act that is sought to be amended. It takes away the gains made by women in this country. This is also carried in the National Police Service (Amendment) Act which this House is presently considering. The women of this country as per Article 27(8) of the Constitution need to have their rights realized by having them represented, one-third of either gender each time an appointment is done or each time considerations are made.

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. It is clear that such a Bill ought to just make amendments which are very minor indeed. However, if you look through this purported Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, there is a raft of legislation which cannot be confirmed to be minor. The first one is on the Kenya Procedure Code which first of all negates the right to bail. That cannot be minor; it is a constitutional right!

So, are we in order to discuss a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill which is going to radically change the legislation of this county through a raft of amendments in a manner like this one? We need some guidance.

On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was rising earlier on a point of order, but even before I prosecute the point of order which is under Standing Order No.127, you have just heard the fundamental statement the Members made on the right to bail.

I would like to draw your attention to Standing Order No.127. You are my learned senior and ...
