Let me finish. I have three minutes and you had 20 minutes. Let me finish. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying we must write it in this law like we wrote it in the law of elections that every constitutional requirements as far as the President is---

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is the point I am trying to make. When we were passing the Elections Bill here, and Mr. Orengo was here, we repeated word for word what the requirements are in the Constitution into the elections law. The people who are going to sit in this Commission are not going to be holding the Constitution here and the law there. They will be looking at this law. By the time you ask them to look at the constitutional requirements, the time is gone; they have done the recruitment and left out people. It is ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am going to make various amendments and I hope the Minister will not object because we want this country to be a different country.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to bring to your attention that Mr. Speaker has already approved, specifically, a Ministerial Statement that I will seek from the Office of the President on the issue of County Commissioners. I was requesting that we leave that issue to the relevant Ministry because I will rise on it. It is too hefty to be handled by the Ministry of State for Public Service.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want, first of all, to support this Motion by the Chairman and thank the Committee for the good work it has done. I have three points I want to make in terms of my remarks. The first thing is to congratulate ourselves, as Parliament, in the manner in which we have made sure that the Executive presented names by requiring under the Act that these names must have gone through the Public Service vetting process. These people were required under Article 7 of the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Acts, 2010, to have ...

I have been asked this question many times by my constituents. Do we exclude the clergy just because they voted against this Constitution? We need to relook again. There are some positions that need consentaneous thinking. Which other group in this nation can represent that better than the clergy? So, I am a bit disappointed that we are approving these gentlemen and not even one of them will be there to say that before they start speaking, they should pray. There is no one and I am disappointed with that. Having said those three points, I want to urge the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that on 24th June, 2011, the picture of Fatuma Mashoud, the mother of Hadija Omar, was prominently displayed in the newspapers stating that her daughter, Khadija Noor had been killed in Saudi Arabia where she was working as a house help. The six counties of the Coast are particularly affected by this. From the Employment Act, the responsibility and the power of vetting employment agencies resides in the Ministry of Labour. How many foreign job recruitment companies have been registered through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the Ministry of Labour? We want to ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, while agreeing with you, I also wanted to draw the attention of the hon. Member, with whom I sit on the Budget Committee, to the fact that, in fact, under Vote D11, Ministry of Medical Services, there is a new item for purchase of cancer scanning machines that has been introduced and allocated Kshs300 million. Factually also, he is on a slippery ground.
