Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister, in his answer, appreciates that the tamarcking of Kaptama-Kapsokwony-Sirisia Road will improve security in this region. However, the road he has mentioned in Mt. Elgon, ending at Kaptama, is the same one that extends to Saboti through Koykoy-Gitwamba. In view of the insecurity in the area, why has the Government not tarmacked this road on the Trans Nzoia side?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I must commend the Assistant Minister for the efforts they have made. They seem to have worked very well with the millers in consulting over the prices, even of the Kshs52 and Kshs72 packages. What about the farmers? You have not given them the same attention in terms of price. What are you doing to give the farmers the price of Kshs2,300 they have asked for?

It is not restricted to a ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Motion. I would like to start by paying tribute to you, Mr. Speaker, for your very able leadership since you were sworn in as the Speaker of this House.

Indeed, you indicated that by August of this year, we will have live coverage. For the first time in the history of this country, Kenyans are ...

courts, lower courts and the courts of appeal in this country, where there is appellate jurisdiction. Perhaps, a Member is dissatisfied with the ruling of the Chair. Perhaps, the Chair is asked to make a ruling on a previous ruling and that happened once. I did fear that this House almost suffered a procedural meltdown. Perhaps, it is an issue that we need to apply our minds to because there will come a time when, perhaps, we have a Speaker who comes from one party and the Deputy Speaker from another party. Perhaps, issues will come where rulings might be ...

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Standing Order No.1 be amended by inserting the words "and the decision shall be final" immediately after the word "Speaker" appearing in the third line.

Standing Order 1(b) states that reference to Mr. Speaker shall be deemed to include reference to the Deputy Speaker when presiding over the House and any Member of the House for the time being so presiding. Mr. Chairman, Sir, there is a possibility, and we ...
