Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to thank you. The National Gender and Equality Commission is very critical. I hope they are listening. They focus so much on gender activism which is unfortunate. The Commission is supposed to look at the issues of gender and equality. We have not seen any aggressiveness when it comes to the boy-child.

A Member has mentioned Kiambu County. It is not only in Kiambu County but also in Trans Nzoia County where I come from. Boys are suffering. They have problems. As they focus on gender, they should also look at equality. We must have good programmes. We need to be getting reports from commissions. They must bring their reports in this House. Since the time I came here, I have not seen these reports being tabled. We need to debate them and see that there is value for money.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Hon. Angwenyi is the only man in Jerusalem. We have had issues in this country like extrajudicial killings. This Authority is underfunded deliberately. They are actually incapacitated. In the region I come from, we have had issues of land. The police come with fake court orders.

When it comes to the Supplementary Budget, I think we need to ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to thank God that I exist today. I had booked my return flight on the same flight. I decided not to travel to Kitale but, instead, in the spirit of handshake, I went to Meru for the Madaraka Day Celebrations. After Meru, I went to Embu for the burial of the mother of our beloved Speaker, Hon. Muturi. From there, I went to the Mt. Kenya area to visit my in-laws.

I thank God that I exist. You can imagine if I had gone to Trans-Nzoia at that time! Maybe, Chris Wamalwa would be no more. It is a time of mourning and we call upon the relevant authorities to speed the investigations so that we know what transpired.
