Hon. Speaker, hon. Nooru is a very good friend of mine. I have no problem waiting for two weeks, but I remember that about a month ago, I raised an issue about fertilizers and lime. He promised to bring a Statement after two weeks but The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In line with Standing Order No.95, this matter of flags, emblems and names has been discussed enough. Looking at the order of business, we are talking about the wage bill, and we want to discuss the VAT Bill, which comes next. In line with Standing Order No. 95, would I be in order to call upon the Mover to reply so that we conclude this matter and move to the next Order?

On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Thank you for the opportunity. I rise to seek your direction in line with Standing Order No.1 and this is a follow-up on the Departmental Committee of Education, Research and Technology. As the Committee tries to look at the Kisii Campus unrest, could they also look at the problems we are having at the universities now, with the ongoing strike? That is because there is paralysis in public universities. If you could allow the Committee to further investigate on that matter, it would be fine. Thank you, hon. Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support these amendments. The cost of living in this country has gone up because of the VAT that we passed here because of the “tyranny of numbers.” When the prices of essential goods go up, the consumers do not know which political divide they belong to. I am calling upon my colleagues to debate this Bill objectively without putting our party interests at heart. Many people have complained that prices of goods have gone up. Many people have complained that school principals are charging very high fees. However, it is not their wish. ...
