On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the sanctions against the Minister, but I also want to know when the Question will possibly come up again.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am just a bit perturbed by the answer the Minister has given us on the question by Mr. Lessonet. That is because internationally---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, is he in order to assert that, in fact, there is no current printing of currency in Kenya when we know, for a fact, that internationally, every year, the Central Bank must replace roughly about 10 per cent of used notes and currency? Is he in order to give the information that there is no printing going on?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Under Order No. 8, I rise to strongly object to the manner in which the Minister has presented this Constitutional Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constitutional Bill which is before the House, which is the Bill which has superseded the Bill that was initially published on 21st September, 2011, bearing the same title, is guilty of mixing issues of fundamental importance to this House. From this Bill that is supposed to undergo the First Reading today, you will notice that they have raised the first Article 89 on delimitation of ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir and hon. Shebesh. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to raise an objection to the manner in which the Minister in charge of the Constitution has presented this Constitutional Bill before this House.

I withdraw the word. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, going to the issue that is there, in fact, the Senior Counsel and Minister for Lands has alluded to it. A Constitutional Bill does not have the benefit of this House amending even a single clause, a comma, a full stop or anything. If it is an ordinary piece of legislation--- If, for example, the Minister has brought a raft of legislation proposals in the Finance Bill from various Acts of Parliament, that is one case when we allow miscellaneous amendments. If it is the Attorney-General who has brought a number of ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said that apart from the grants which were not part of this question, the money that was available was about Kshs200 million. He said something to the effect that per student, it would break down to Kshs608. Could he confirm that this is absolutely a joke because there cannot be seriousness in this at all? How can Kshs608 sustain anybody in a boarding school? Could he qualify that?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the clarification we needed was a clear statement that there was, probably, misquoting or something different, because from what we hear it was none other than the President himself who seemed to have given a different position. Can the Minister clarify that, in fact, that is not the position, and that what he is saying is the current position?
