I have grown taller. Hon. Speaker, I was in that meeting and we made a resolution on the first day that we condense the programme, so that we cover it in one day. Because of condensing the programme, the Hon. Member wanted to raise some issues, but he was out of time. The Chairperson said that they will be discussed at another time. Therefore, in my view, there was nothing in contempt. The Chairman was acting in good faith. We participate in all the matters of the Committee in good faith. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As my colleague, Hon. (Dr.) Oundo has said, water is life. Without water, there is no life. Even in this Chamber, we continuously drink water. Water is consumed by human beings, vegetation and animals. Seventy-one per cent of the world is covered with water yet we still experience drought in many areas in Kenya. We experience hunger and famine. Where I come from, women and children still go to fetch water many kilometres away from their homesteads. There is a particular place in my constituency called Ukasi, where women wake up at 4.00 a.m. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I thank the Chair and his Committee for coming up with this innovative idea. Currently, appointment of foreign mission staff is not only haphazard but also very indiscriminate and political. This Bill will go a long way in not only regulating and streamlining appointments in Foreign Service but also in guiding the procedure of appointment, in creating fairness and equality and in rewarding competence and performance. The Bill provides for the duration and procedure of termination of service, so that one’s service cannot be terminated because somebody does ...

Sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker, you may need to protect me from my colleague, Hon. Wamalwa, because he is interrupting me. I rise to support this Motion. Where I come from, this Equalisation Fund is not equal as per the term “Equalisation.” The selection of the marginalised areas is not fair at all. The way it was done before was not fair at all. There are areas which have become more marginalised than they were before. The criteria used in identifying areas to benefit from the Equalisation Fund is biased. The decision makers are also biased. Who said marginalised areas are ...
