On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wanted to follow up on that. Is it in order for the Prime Minister to give an open-ended answer which is really not an answer? The Government has been talking about consultation on the position of the Leader of Government Business for a whole Session. We have started another Session and we still do not have the Leader of Government Business apart from the ones that the Speaker ruled on. Could the Prime Minister give us a timeframe within which this must be done? We want real action to be taken. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question is very simple. Under the Environmental Management Act 2000, the Minister has the power to order compensation for people who are affected by the pollution. This pollution did not happen just the other day. It must have been going on for a period of time. Has the Assistant Minister considered ordering Maseno University to compensate the communities which are in the neighbourhood, in terms of maybe corporate governance projects like medical clinics that are deliberately going to help them recover from that pollution that has been going on?

There is great concern amongst Kenyans that the national referendum that is anticipated on the Draft Constitution may not be held in June this year as provided for in the constitutional review process time-table by the Minister. It is in that light that I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. In his Ministerial Statement, I would like him to clarify the following:- (i) How much money has the Government sent to the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) in preparation for the June national referendum? (ii) How much of the estimated ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has told us that the Government has already spent an average of Kshs1.4 billion in the purchase of cereals from farmers of the North Rift. Right now in Hola and Bura, farmers who had taken loans are so indebted, and there is so much maize everywhere; even the manager of the cereals board, his office is full of maize. More effort is being made and the rains are coming again; so maize is going to get spoilt. The question is; is the Minister being selective in the way he is paying these farmers? Why ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is not an Ordinary Question. I want to refer the Assistant Minister to Standing Order No.42(2), which I will read, with your permission.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it says:- âQuestions which in the opinion of the Speaker area of an urgent character and relate either to matters of public importance or to the arrangement of business may also be asked of a Minister after Private Notice and shall be answered not later than the next sitting day following such notice.â When you gave permission for this Question to be put on the Order Paper as a matter of national importance, you had considered what was ailing the people of Kenya on this matter. There is a long queue at Sheria House every morning, of ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion that is before us. There are many things that the Head of State mentioned in his Speech, but I want to, specifically, zero-in on the question of the Constitutional and the business-related legislation that the Government proposes to put through this House during this Session. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my comrades in saying that, indeed, the process of Constitution-making in Kenya has taken a long time. In 1989, this country started the journey towards getting a proper Constitution that ...
