Parliament to pass this kind of legislation. It is a futile legislation and I urge hon. Members to reject it in totality. We should not give the necessary quorum to pass this legislation. I know that the people of Garsen do not want money to be spend on this thing. They want money to be spend on the food they require now. I know that the people in Coast Province, Nairobi and elsewhere require money to be spend where it is needed and not to feed other foreign lawyers. We need to agree in this House that we shall not ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Mr. M. Kilonzo in order to suggest that his party is better organised when, in fact, we know in their purported general meeting, they only held elections for a few people and the rest were to be chosen at the pleasure of the party leader? Is that better organisation?

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am asking this House to look at this debate soberly. On Page 60, under Paragraph 6.5, the Committee recommends that we need to amend the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, the Companies Act and others. Is that a wrong recommendation? It is a good recommendation.

If you look at the recommendations on the Goldenberg-related cases, it is a good one. The recommendation on the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is also a good recommendation. The only thing that is causing tension in this House is the recommendation on whether Mr. Amos Kimunya should continue holding public office or not and whether he conducted himself in a manner worthy of a Minister. This House already passed a recommendation on that matter as well. In my opinion, we should not have a lot of debate on this matter.

In my very humble opinion, we should adopt this Report. If there are any amendments that must be made to the Report, then let us not say it should be thrown out. Let somebody say, "there is this section I do not like, I want us to adopt the Report with these amendments". As far as I am concerned, let us be sober about this matter. My first point is to support the adoption of this Report.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the second point is that the Grand Regency Hotel is a place that many Kenyans go to. Once in a while even me as a private citizen, I take children there on Sunday afternoons. Before this transaction was done, I used to pay Kshs500 for swimming and other recreational activities. Last Sunday, the shock of my life, we went there and were told that everybody has to pay Kshs1,500 per toddler, child or anybody. We are paying for corruption in this country!
