It is not on that, Hon. Speaker, but may be a bit of some relevance. This is in line with Standing Order No.1 which stipulates that where a matter is not provided for or is a matter of precedence, precedence has been set in Parliament. So, as you will be looking at that, I kindly request you, because this is a House of traditions… Sometimes back when we were vetting Hon. Mututho for NACADA, I remember there was rejection and he had a matter in court. Out of the principle of innocent until proven guilty, which is under Article 50, ...

The Departmental Committee Chair is talking about deleting the paragraph. I expected him to give the gist of the amendment. Members should know the gist of proposed amendment so that we decide whether to support or oppose. I listened carefully to my good friend from Marakwet. He did not go further to explain the justification of the proposed deletion. Therefore, I humbly request that you allow him do so. Ordinarily, that is supposed to be the procedure.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Kajwang’ for bringing this up so that we can learn from the good experience of Hon. Kimunya. Some of us who were in the last Parliament never saw those issues of the Committee of Supply and the Committee of Ways and Means. The Committee of Supply that we considered before the Budget Estimates were read out provided a very good opportunity of scrutinising the budget. It gave us an opportunity to feel that we are in a presidential system and this is a budget- making House as compared to the last Parliament. Hon. ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Petition. I originated in Kimilili where Hon. Didmus is my Member of Parliament when I go home. I am aware of Peter Wanyama, who was an advocate of the High Court. During his burial, we were told that the police would leave no stone unturned. It is now years since then. I think it is high time we called upon the National Police Service to act within a specific timeframe. As Hon. Didmus has clearly stated, his family is now languishing in poverty and suffering because he was the breadwinner. The assassination ...

I think it is high time such a matter came before the Floor of the House so that we can also involve the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) to do a follow-up. Last time we said, for us to oversee the police we should give enough funding to IPOA. We have no one to oversee the police since they are the ones who investigate. Recently, when we had many rogue CSs violating court orders or being in contempt of court, we wondered how the police would summon someone like Matiang’i, the last time he missed to appear before a Departmental ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It says experience is the best teacher and what Hon. Duale was trying to put across was actually advisory, particularly to the new Members. I am saying this because I was in the last Parliament and I brought quite a number of Motions. When you go to the Committee on Implementation, some of these Motions are not implementable. So, we are wasting the Private Members’ time. What he was putting across is for us to be adding value, particularly on the socio-economic side of this country. In terms of drafting these Motions, let us think ...
