Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, one cannot say that we are supporting others and leaving others for purposes of inclusivity. That is a very vague reason. When a Motion or Bill comes to the House, we look at its merits and demerits. There is a difference between Hon. Gitonga’s amendment and Hon. Baya’s amendment, and this clarity needs to come out. The product of Hon. Baya is already scheduled. That is one thing that we need to know. It is already scheduled.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support and thank the Committee for clarifying on the issues of disqualification as opposed to exclusion.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson. In law making, simplicity is very critical. When you look at (c), the value added is totally insignificant. I do not see any value in it because it has already been provided for. We do not just need to bring some issues here for the sake of it. It has already been addressed in (b). I thank you.
