Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. I was saying that the Senate should not have taken more than a year to look at this formula and then this honourable House is given two hours to discuss it and make a decision. Our hands are tied because the Senate wants to show Kenyans that we, as a House, do not care. If I was given an opportunity, I would have said that we should be given more time to discuss this formula. If we do that, it means that we will not pass the County Allocation of Revenue Bill ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am seeking your indulgence in terms of these Questions we keep asking this House. During the Third Session, I asked a Question relating to the monitoring and evaluation policy in this country. You directed that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning takes over the matter.

Yes, that policy in this country. Up to now, they have not got any answer to that Question. I am worried.

It was a Question. I am getting worried we are now almost getting to the end of the Fourth Session and there are high chances I might not get an answer.

Yes. It was the fifth Question this year. The issue was that I wanted to know the status of the monitoring and evaluation policy in this country and why it has not been concluded and what strategies are in place to conclude it so that this country can have that important policy.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Clause 3 has a number of sub-clauses. They are (a), (b) and (c). I was just wondering whether the justification given by the Chairman applies to all of them. Are we doing (a) or all of them? That should be clear to us as we contribute.

The reason I am raising my hand is because you only gave me a chance on a point of order. I am trying to contribute but it looks like you counted my point of order.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support these amendments just as my friends have said but, we must make observations. The issue here is how to appoint the youth to the Council. It being National Youth Council, there is need to have fairness, openness and transparency on how to identify them. Clause 2 has been emphasized, but the challenge is not being addressed. It is the work of this House, since you are making the law, to ensure that that process remains transparent. I support.
