Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to inform my good friend, Mr. Imanyara, that the issue of Mt. Kenya Forest was here about six months ago. In fact, it was brought here by the same hon. Member who was asking the same Question. He tabled a report which included photos showing indigenous trees being destroyed. The Assistant Minister promised Mr. Imanyara, Mr. Ruteere and I, that he was going to hire a chopper to go and inspect Mt. Kenya which I came to learn later that when he went there, he was so shocked that he has been dodging us ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, he is giving us an opinion but we are talking about what the Constitution says. Where should the Bills originate from? That is the Attorney-General’s Office. So, perhaps, you can help us - you being a lawyer and me not being one – by telling us which clause gives you those powers. Which Article gives you those powers under this Constitution? You remember you are a lawyer and I am not. But here, I see very clearly that it is the Attorney-General’s role. Could you hep us with that?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me, on behalf of the people of Yatta, to offer my condolence to the families of hon. Prof. George Saitoti, hon. Orwa Ojode, the two pilots; Supt. Nancy Gituanja, Supt. Luke Oyugi and the two body guards: Inspector Joshua Tonkei and Sergeant Thomas Murimi. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this nation and this Parliament, indeed, have lost great leaders. We all know hon. Saitoti. Some of us, because of age, he is more like a father. Hon. Orwa Ojode, although he was older than me, I can say he was my elder brother. This House and ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Every time the Government wants to hide, they form commissions and task forces; now, the Minister is forming a team from the Ministry of Lands and the Ministry of Livestock Development while the inventory of what the KMC owns – leave alone being with the Meat Commission itself - is also in public domain. Why would the Minister try to take us round by purporting to form a team to investigate and come up with an inventory of something which is already known by the KMC, and which is not ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Minister to purport that they lack a way of collecting data while we have the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) which we give billions of money to collect information, so that it can be used by the Government in its day to day operations? Is he in order to rely on the hon. Member whispering to him?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is only fair that the Assistant Minister takes this House more seriously because he has turned it into a theatre for acting. It is our hope and belief that as we do police reforms, we will also reform and reshuffle this Assistant Minister because he comes here to entertain us. We do not want entertainment. We want facts. The House is getting tired because every day he does not take this House seriously. Is he in order to continue misleading the House and doing drama at the expense of the ...
