If we give in to some of the demands the Executive wants, what will be our role? I request you because you know I respect you, instead of ruling and accepting what the Executive wants, let us stand our ground. Let us consult as the National Assembly because we are 349 hon. Members. We consulted and we saw that the old system was not working. If we decide to go back to the old system, we will not move anywhere and we will be blamed that we are being controlled by the Executive. I want us to be very forthright ...

Hon. Speaker, although I was away, I do not know what changed because we came to a consensus that answering questions will not be possible through Committee Chairmen and we agreed as a House and it was unanimous. As I said, we represent people besides playing oversight role on the Executive, we will be judged harshly if all of us can come to a consensus and agree on some Standing Orders and then all of a sudden something changes drastically.

them time to ventilate and react although you have ruled on that matter. This is not a small matter. We may take it as a small matter but the moment we just give in and accept what the Executive wants, the next thing is that we will make a decision and then something will be done and we will lose our face. We will lose the power that we have been given by the people of Kenya. I want to finish by saying that we should play oversight by bringing the Cabinet Secretaries here to ask them questions. We respect ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Duale always wants to cause trouble for me all the time! I thank you for saving me. I stand to support this Bill because it is very good and timely. This is the time when many investors are salivating to invest in Kenya. Currently, there is no formal recognition of qualified certified securities and investment analysts (CSIA) in Kenya, notwithstanding that courses and professional exams are offered in Kenya for aspiring Kenyan professionals. Lack of professional recognition of CSIA qualifications by the Kenyan Government puts Kenyan trade professionals at a distinct disadvantage in ...
