Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. Indeed, I was wondering when my chance was ever going to come. I rise to support the appointment of Dr. Lydia Nzomo to be the Chair of TSC. One thing that is for sure is that the lady is highly qualified.

26 Tuesday 18th November, 2014 will hear people say that the Speaker of this Assembly is ignoring court orders. As we began this Motion, we were told that a matter has been filed in court. There is no order served upon us. Let me tell the world clearly that nobody can purport to injunct Parliament. We are the people’s representatives.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, mine is premised on the same line. We are honourable Members. Is it in order for two Members of this House to refer to honourable Members as (word expunged) and the other one as (word expunged )? This is not a market place or (words expunged). Kindly give us direction or ask those Members to withdraw and apologise for insulting us.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with a lot of respect for the Mover of this Motion, hon. Keter, I would like to seek your direction on this. If I listened carefully to hon. Keter, he sought an adjournment, so that we could discuss issues of insecurity in this country. At the moment, we seem to be discussing cattle rustling between the Pokot and Turkana communities.

We should not localize this Motion. Insecurity is all over in this country. In Mbeere North, someone was killed the other day and his body was dumped in the forest.
