On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is deliberately misleading the House. Kenya Airways has never participated in any tender, and is not listed as a supplier after having gone through the process. I know it because I declared my interest in this matter; I have had audience with this association dealing with travel agents. The Assistant Minister should come out very clearly. He knows very well that there is no Ministry or parastatal which has been shortlisted. The matter is very simple, they must participate in a tender process.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. What is happening in Egypt is not something which can wait until next week. We would have expected a Statement this afternoon, or latest tomorrow afternoon.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to rise under Standing Order No.57. With your permission, I wish to read the Standing Order. It says:- âAfter the question has been proposed on a Motion, the Motion shall be deemed to be in the possession of the House and cannot be withdrawn without leave of the House.â Listening to what the Minister has clearly stated, I would wish to ask the hon. Member who moved the Motion to move: - THAT, the Motion be withdrawn from the House.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Motion. In doing so, I wish to tell the Government that there is a saying somewhere that says: âYou have eyes, you do not see and you have ears, you do not hearâ. As we speak now, there is a revolution taking place in Tunisia. The cause of this revolution is all about food. Revolutions worldwide are all because of food. Famine and drought in Kenya is not a new phenomenon. Weather patterns in this country have not changed over the last 50 years. What is strange and beats logic is ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very happy that the Assistant Minister has said that he supports KACC, in particular, Dr. Patrick Lumumba. I wish to inform him that, indeed, corruption is a big problem in this country and in particular, in his Ministry. That is where we have the biggest problem. So, as he addresses us, I hope he is aware that he has a problem in his own house.

In the last sentence, the Minister has said that the technical evaluation confirms that the Government of Kenya will obtain value for its money. If that is the case, I would like to refer to a letter from the Office of the President addressed to Sayamar Limited where the Government has questioned value for money. The letter says:- âIt is further noted that nine of the engines already fitted in the Parhard Light Armored Cars failed.â If the Office of the President questions value for money with regard to some of these contracts, how come the Ministry of Defence does ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why I read the last sentence is, because it is general. I am not referring to the AMR. I am referring to the AML. So is he now indeed confirming that when it comes to AML, there is no value for money, because that is his Ministry?

I think the Vice President and Minister for Home Affairs was trying to assist him but rest assured nothing will save him. My question was not on AMR. It was not AML. He has given a general summary there that they get value for money when they procure goods and services. Is he indeed now confirming that when it comes to the AML, Light Armour cars, we are not getting value for money because his own PS has brought this matter to question?
