Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, there is enough law. We do not need a taskforce report for the Government to operate, especially when the taskforce report tabled in the House is not complete. So, with those few remarks, I second that the report be referred to the relevant Committee.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the year 2006, the Ministry of Finance recommended that pensionersâ payments be increased and backdated to the year 1997. However, the then Minister for Finance made recommendations relying on the Actuarial Report, which was done by the professional firms. The Assistant Minister is misleading this House, saying that the Cabinet relied on the Report when the then Minister for Finance made recommendations based on the Report, which was disregarded by the Cabinet. My question is, therefore, why did the Government disregard the recommendations by the professional firms which did the Acturial Report?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With all due respect, is it in order for the hon. Minister to say that if the other Ministers are not in agreement with the position of hon. M Kilonzo, they should shut up? Is that Parliamentary language?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Yatta which is my constituency has been affected tremendously by pollution of Athi River and Thika River mostly by factories within Thika Town, parts of Nairobi and the flower farms. Apart from asking the culprits to mend their bad ways, what action has the Assistant Minister taken to ensure that some of them are prosecuted?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House that the reason that those three offices are being exempted is to reflect the importance of the State to this country while super powers or bigger nations like France, the Scandinavian countries and even the UK, those officers drive smaller vehicles?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We cannot let the Minister get away with such an answer. Since we have the Nyayo Car, which is smaller, could he consider using that car?
