Madam Temporary Speaker, we will not allow them to undermine the spirit and the letter of this Constitution.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. M. Kajwang‟, the Chairperson of the Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments, Sen. Orengo and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. have always insisted on hearing my voice. I know that my voice is of solomonic wisdom but it would have come at an opportune time. I want to assure them that the Report that we have is concrete and it has mind changing solutions. I want to request the House to give us more time for us to finalise it.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that ruling, which is very incisive. When you get people who discuss the quality of food, they do not understand the quality Bills.
