On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.36(2) to apply for the re-organisation of the Order Paper. If you look at the Order Paper, you will see that the next order is supposed to be moved by the Leader of the Delegation. I am, therefore, applying that Order No.10 be brought to the

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of land adjudication is a problem all over the country, including Garsen Constituency.

If I remember correctly, the answer the Minister has given indicates that one of the reasons for the delay is that there are too many court cases and objections. We have heard him and his predecessors talk about bringing an amendment to the law, so that those who have no objections are allowed to register the land and those who have cases can wait. When will he bring this amendment? We have seen the Attorney-General bringing the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill to increase his salary and yet, these problems of wananchi are continuing! Is the problem with him or ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is very dangerous for Ministers in the Government to come here and tell us that they have not been given enough money and yet they are the ones who prepare the Budget. Is the Minister suggesting that we do not approve the Budget simply because he was not allocated the Kshs7 billion? How does this Government work? Is he not supposed to have consulted, given that land adjudication is given priority when it comes to allocation of money?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join other hon. Members in congratulating the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for the serious work he is doing in terms of giving capacity to local authorities. However, on the same issue, at the time the last extension was given, the situation was not as bad as it is today. The Minister lives in this country and he knows that we are under a global recession that is affecting not only the Central Government but also the local authorities. The LATF is doing a lot of work on the ground in ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.70. The Minister is an old Member of this House and he knows that all addresses in this House are made through the Speaker of this House. Therefore, the PSC has no locus standi to send either the Minister, by itself or messenger, to come and answer any contribution to debates in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the provisions under Standing Order No.75, you will find that they are very clear. The Standing Order says that if there ...

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir! It is very wrong for someone to say that an allegation was made in this House by a person who should have known better and then nothing was done. He is imputing a very serious allegation against the Chair; that the

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In terms of assisting the House to move forward, just the day before yesterday, the Chair gave a ruling that is relevant to this. I had made an application that there were some documents that we needed to use for purposes of supporting an application in this House. The Chair ruled that because that was hearsay, we could not delay the business of the House. That is a fresh ruling. We should also say that hon. Midiwo is also alluding to matters that are purely hearsay. The Question is before ...
