My point of order is whether it is fair for hon. Shebesh to bring in the name of hon. PLO Lumumba in her debate and yet, that man cannot defend himself in the House?

Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was watching news and when I heard hon. Members contributing to this Bill, I had to wake up and come. From the onset, I must say that I rise this night to support this Bill. I believe that corruption is a cancer. It is a disease that we must eradicate at all costs, if this country has to move forward. As I was watching the news, I was shocked to see one of the senior officers in this country charged with the responsibility of fighting corruption trying to explain how he was ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the existence of live wires in Kahawa Barracks, in my view, is a serious case of negligence on the part of the distributor of power in this country which, in my view, is the KPLC.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a hungry Kenyan; somebody who is dying does not bother about security. The work of the NSIS, more often than not, is to give information. I am wondering if the information being given to a hungry police officer who has no equipment, will be able to provide any security. Is it in order for him not to realize that the potential of the insecurity in this country is caused by this kind Ministers who do not really understand the kind of life police officers are living when he lives in ivory towers?

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to take this earliest opportunity to dispel the fear from the Member for Ainamoi and tell him very clearly that this particular amendment will not have any effect on the overall Budget. So, we are completely in order to make this amendment. This amendment is really informed by the need to look at the priorities of this country; to understand clearly whether we need to fund or give money to the NSIS at the expense of the Kenya Police that is on a go-slow and that requires money to boost their morale? Those that ...

asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government: (a) if he is aware that the Nairobi City Council is losing a lot of money through fraud arising from non-payment of rates by persons disposing of properties within the city and knowingly issuing dud cheques to the council; (b) if he could provide a list of all bounced cheques issued since 2008 and indicate who among the rate payers transferred their property without making alternative payment; (c) what disciplinary measures the Ministry has taken against the officers involved and what action has been taken to recover the lost funds.
