Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to echo the sentiments expressed by my colleagues. I said the other day that, had it not been for you, we would have had such a bad image. But I think we have seen that after we work so hard every year after midnight, the following day, if you read the comments that are made, they are made to ridicule Members of Parliament. We really continue to support you the way you continue to support us. Even sometimes, some commentaries are made against our Speaker. But I think this Tenth Parliament will go into ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Minister say very clearly that security is provided in the whole country. I sympathize with the journalist and the schoolgirl, whose case was being covered. However, whenever an issue regarding security arises, we are told that there will be investigations and that the culprits will be brought to book. I have stood here in the past and reported of a case where premises in my constituency were attacked and the guard killed, in respect of which I was told that the police would catch up with the culprits. What is he doing to ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to explain a situation which has happened in my constituency for a young man I helped. He is a Borana and a half-cast whose father deserted the mother and left for America. In that situation, why would the registration office ask the young man to go and look for the identity cards of the father and the mother when the father has left for America? As a result, the young man is now 24 years old without an identity card. What will the Assistant Minister do in such a case? ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like to support the amendment which has been proposed by the Chair of CIOC. This is because in any establishment, the indemnity clause is usually put there. This is actually an indemnity clause. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support his amendment.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I support this reduction of time, it actually calls for Committees to work extra hard. Had it not been for you, Mr. Speaker, who supports us in the public life, members of the public believe that hon. Members are not working and they are sleeping on the job. I have heard the Speaker saying several times that we are working very hard. Whereas we accept the reduction of time, may I request that the Chair gives a directive as to when these Bills must be brought so that at least we can arrange our time? This ...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this very important document that has streamlined the way members of the public will be able now to forward their petitions to this House. In the past, it has been difficult for Members of Parliament who are not lawyers to craft and draft petitions for their members. But this now has streamlined that aspect in terms of members of the public having the window to come and present their petitions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, however, there are a number of issues that we must look at, and one of them ...
