The number of tourists who visited this country in 2008 was 729,000 according to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). This is a drop from 1,048,000 tourists who visited this country in 2007. The real people who feel the immediate effects are people like Mary Kai, the taxi drivers and the beach boys. What has the Minister done to alleviate this problem? He has told us that he has given hoteliers loans. What has he done about the beach boys who are our voters?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister has not addressed the question I have raised and he will not get away with it. All the Ministers of Tourism who have been there---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, he has not addressed the problems affecting the local people! For example, does he even have the number of beach boys, tour operators and taxi drivers who directly depend on tourism? What has the Minister done to cushion them against the effects of global recession? He has not answered that question! He is dodging it!

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Attorney General has said that he can actually bite. First of all, I am not sure whether that is parliamentary language. However, in the event that your mind is clear that he can actually bite, how many of these corruption cases has he even prosecuted? Could he cite one successful prosecution and justify for him to continue being the Attorney General of the Republic of Kenya?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.97. On Sunday, 17th May, 2009, the country woke up to very prominent allegations of bribery and corruption directed at this House. Those allegations were repeated in the electronic media, and specifically, Citizen Television, during which some hon. Members were quoted as supporting those allegations.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the allegations had the effect of condemning this whole House as a market place, where hon. Members only vote for Motions and Bills in consideration of financial or monetary gain. This exposed the House to ridicule, disrepute and public odium. This House has been hosting delegations of hon. Members of Parliament, including last weekâs delegation of hon. Members from the Parliament of Somalia, our next door neighbour .
