On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Assistant Minister in order, first, to say that there is no coordination between the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government, when we have the Prime Minister who is in charge of supervision and co- ordination? Secondly, is he in order to accuse the residents of Kileleshwa for not understanding? The only thing that Kileleshwa residents do not understand is why they have a Government which does not understand that when you approve new estates, you are supposed ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did put the message. We want to know when the Government is going to put in place new pipes to serve the increased population, because we are still using the pipes which were fixed during the colonial time. Nothing in the Assistant Minister’s answer here says that they are going to put any new pipes. He is only talking about water rationing.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish I could speak his own mother tongue, because I would have probably explained to him what I meant, but I will try again. The pipe network was put during the colonial time. So, even if you increase the water, there will not be enough space for that water to flow within the estate. What residents and I are asking you is: Why do you not put new and bigger pipes to serve this estate? When will you do that?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two issues. The hon. Member has clearly stated that the name which is mentioned there is not the wife. So, if the Government or the police do not know even who the wife is, how are they expected in the first place to trace the culprits?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the second point of order, where is it in law that for you to investigate, the victim must record a statement? Supposing the hon. Member had actually been killed or murdered, does it mean that the famous Kenya Police Force would have no means of investigating that matter?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to cast aspersions on an hon. Member by purporting that this matter was stage- managed? The Assistant Minister has indeed, confirmed that investigations are still going on. He has also confirmed that they do not even know his wife. He has stated that statements have not been recorded while they have been recorded. Is he in order to cast aspersions when already the information that he has is misleading?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to wish you a happy new and, perhaps, a nice Valentine Day. As I support this Motion, I need to bring to the attention of hon. Members to what the Constitution Article 118 says. It says: “Parliament shall conduct its business in an open manner and its sittings and those of the Committees shall be in public. (b) Parliament shall facilitate public participation and involvement in the legislative and other business of Parliament and its Committees.” What we have done today effectively if we adopt this Motion, automatically, we will deny public participation. The same ...
