So, I want to support the adoption of these Reports; I want to start by thanking the Committee for actually presenting them to this honourable House. I know a number of challenges have been mentioned by my colleagues in terms of timing, but I believe that it is important that these Reports be discussed in this House. That is why I stand to support it.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, after listening to the presentation of this Report by the Chairman of the Committee, I have just been asking myself: How many times have Kenyans listened to these kinds of reports? How many times have Kenyans heard 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.

On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to know whether the hon. Member is in order to mislead this House that his constituency is the worst in terms of poverty levels. Is it clearly documented that Kitui Central is actually the poorest in the country? I think he is misleading the House.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to plead with my colleagues not to personalise this Bill. I think as Members of Parliament, some of us have ambitions. If you look at those who might want to be governors in future and you look at this Bill 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.

using a “governor’s eye”, you will be biased in your contribution. Those who want to be senators in future and look at this Bill using a “Senator’s eye”, are likely to be biased.

So, I would plead with hon. Members that we look at this Bill from the eye of a Kenyan who has no political ambitions. If you look at this Bill from that eye, this is what I want to say: The way the Bill is worded currently, I will oppose it strongly. But if we make amendments, I might change my mind and this is what I am saying. I will support this Bill if it is amended.
