Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to second the Motion because Members have shown a lot of interest. This is a very important period in our history in this country and every Member would want to contribute. So, I want to support that we go up to 8 o‟clock so that every Member has a chance to contribute to this Presidential Address which is very important to our nation. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. It is unfortunate that we have such Members in this august House who claim the Opposition is a bunch of corrupt people. These are people who are bringing shame to this House. The Presidential Speech was good and great. It touched on things that Kenyans want. The reasons why we made two standing ovations are because of the mention of corruption, the apology he made and the support he required from Kenyans. Now that you have given an indication through a ruling, as sought by hon. Millie Odhiambo, that we cannot condemn people collectively but individually ...

We are a blessed country. We have a lot of mineral wealth ranging from oil in Turkana, coal and limestone in Kitui, iron ore in TaitaTaveta and the rare minerals in Kwale. If all these resources are harnessed properly, this country can grow at 11 per cent. Last week, the world lost a leader from Singapore; Lee Kuan Yew. The President has said that he was his role model. I have heard very many Kenyans say that at Independence we were at per with Singapore but today it is 100 times more developed. The per capita income is the highest ...

There is nobody left. I am in the Opposition and I am saying that we have to raise the threshold. I am not defending corruption. In fact, I will be the first one to fight corruption. Let us not politicise corruption. The only person that we have left is someone who was appointed as an ambassador to the troubled country of Somalia and the other one is in a country that is neither in Asia nor in Europe. So, we are left with nobody in Government.

Hon. Speaker, the sombre mood in Ukambani is just because of mere speculation that somebody is corrupt. It is very worrying. I am very happy with what you have said The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

about the question raised by hon. Milly Odhiambo. Are we accused collectively or an issue of three people would drag all of us and have us collectively accused? I am happy that you appointed someone of the calibre of hon. Moses Cheboi to chair the Powers and Privileges Committee. I am requesting that issues of corruption by Members of the National Assembly--- There is separation of power. The Executive and Legislature have politicised issues. We have to be fair, effective and subject it to proper investigation, instead of blanket condemnation where the media would pick and paint the Departmental Committee ...

They do not rape people and they do not steal. They lead good lives. It is very wrong for people and the media or a certain group to try and cast aspersions. They should not impute improper motives on these hon. Members. We need protection. I thank you hon. Speaker because every time the National Assembly is under attack, you come to our defence. This is the hour that we need that kind of defence. This august House is at the lowest level because the media has created it. When they say 58 Members of the National Assembly are corrupt ...

Hon. Speaker, I am not accusing women. I want to dwell on the Presidents’ Speech because it is very important. The President talked about electricity connectivity and said that by the end of this year, a million families will be connected to electricity.
