Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think my amendment list is missing some part. I will log in again when I get that part because I do not have the exact amendment.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to strongly oppose the inclusion of this clause into the Bill. If you get through 45A(2)(b) and the others that follow, they totally interfere with the rights of our spouses. It is the husband who is required to declare other people’s properties. Clause 45A(2)(b) indicates that somebody needs to declare the nominee’s dependants. Sometimes, anybody who is above 18 years of age in this country is considered a grown up and I do not see any good reason as to why the nominee should interfere with the affairs of his dependants. I, therefore, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the Bill. But I think this one being a very important Bill, there are those issues especially to do with the integrity of any leader that needs to be looked into. They should be raised to very high standards. I would like to beg the Government to make sure that some of these very important Bills are given enough time. That is because if this Bill had been passed about four months ago, even this issue of saying that we do not have enough time to vet about 200 hon. ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. I will make just a few comments. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do believe that Kenya has come of age to have a unit that is able to gather information towards averting any crisis of any kind in this country. I know most of the people here have concentrated so much on crime. But I believe the versions of this agency, which is going to be the National Intelligence Service is not just to go around following criminals, but they have got ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this issue of foreigners coming to take over jobs in this country is not only found within the hawking industry, but even in other professions. Currently, the aviation industry has been invaded by pilots from all over the world. The Government is facilitating them to take up these jobs. Kenyan pilots are presently threatened with the sack. What will the Minister do to make sure that these foreigners who are coming to take up our jobs here are stopped?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was trying to get some intervention on the matter. It is true that we have got Kenyans who are working in other countries but the question is: Is it in order for the Government to continue issuing work permits to foreigners to come and work in the country when we have Kenyans who can do those jobs? Some companies have gone to the extent of laying off Kenyan workers, so that foreigners can take over their jobs.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am on a point of order because of the statement that was made by the Minister, that the champions of integrity are not in the House. I believe that we stand for high levels of integrity and I would request that you order him to withdraw that statement.
