On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Traditionally, any report that is brought to the House, Statements or Petition is normally committed to the House. I do not know whether the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) should be appearing before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). Sen Kajwang’ is smiling because he is one of the best in considering and assessing reports on public Investments. I hope he retains that sit when we come back as a Minority of course because he is good at that. We need to know where these reports go. I have seen on these other reports ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I would like to congratulate Sen. Iman for this timely Statement. There was a joke that was going around that there is one of the presidential candidates that says if he becomes the President, he will plant something along the highway to make it high; not the Highway Express. Madam Deputy Speaker, there was a Statement that I brought last week on the repair of the original road. I remember that they were seeking an additional Kshs9 billion. We are aware the cost of the Expressway rose up to Kshs81 billion. In ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, if you use the Expressway, for instance, you are supposed to preside over this House at 2.30 p.m; it means that you might end up going to Westlands then come back through the same jam that you were avoiding. So, these designs that were done should be able to allow access during emergency. The designs should even have security features. I have seen there also cameras but we are worried that the way it has been designed--- I hope Parliament will build a high or bullet proof up there so that you do not---

Madam Deputy Speaker, Museum Hill is still very far. We wanted an exit that is within the city centre. For instance, if you are to rush somebody from Mlolongo all the way to Kenyatta National Hospital, by the time you are exiting through Museum Hill and come again, you might experience traffic jam that will make it hard for you to access Kenyatta National Hospital. I know there were designs that were done, but I do not know why they did not create a entry into the Central Business District (CBD) of Nairobi so that it becomes easy to access ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for my good sister, Sen. Halake, to go on record on the HANSARD saying that we have first female Deputy President. Yet we know the occupant of the office as at now is a man by the name of Dr. William Samoei Arap Ruto. She should withdraw and indicate who the person is. We do not have a female Deputy President in Kenya.

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I had seen our visitors but, unfortunately, they have left. Allow me to congratulate my Chairperson. Since I was moved to the Committee of National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration, you can see the energy, zeal and the passion we have injected, led by our able Chairperson, Sen. Shiyonga. I wish her well as she wants to join the National Assembly as Women Representative of my neighbouring county of Kakamega. I am happy that we did a very comprehensive Report with very serious and earthquake recommendations. I just want to run ...

I was sad because of this Petition. When the Disability Act was enacted into law in 2003, it was great milestone to the Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) that we have in this country. Article 10 of the Constitution of Kenya, it is very clear that there should be inclusiveness, non-discrimination and respect to human dignity which includes not only the able-bodied people like us but also the PWDs, marginalised and the minority. This Petition came under Article 54 of the Constitution that specifically provides on the issue. It is captured under the Bill of Rights. So, this is a right ...
