Mr. Speaker, Sir, while thanking you for that clarification, it is not my intention to join issue with the Chair over that wonderful clarification. Certainly, it is not my intention to criminalize thinking and it is clear to us that those are your thoughts. But we hope that it will not go unnoticed that the party that formed the Government after the 2002 General Election was the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC). As I speak to you now, I am the NARC Member of Parliament for Mwingi North and I believe His Excellency the President is still the NARC Member of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate you, and I am happy that this was not done at the instigation of anybody from the other side. But I think it is important for there to be full consultation. This matter should be approached with sobriety, and not the kind of attention that has now been brought about in East Africa, where you create an institution just because an administration in one country feels aggrieved.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer. But I would like to inform him that this contractor for the Kikoko-Kalongo project brought the materials for the project in January this year and now we are in April. He did not do any work in January, because he claimed that it was raining heavily. However, since that time he has not shown up. Could the Assistant Minister tell this House why the contractor brought all that equipment, including transformers, wires and many other things, and then abandoned the work and left?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to assure this House and Kenyans, that these contractors are going to be on site this month, because they came a long time ago and left the equipment there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could he ensure that they are on site and the work starts? Every customer who wanted to be connected with electricity has done wiring and paid the connection fees to the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), but they are not yet getting the service.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have so many heroes in this country. There are a lot of disparities when it comes to helping them. Kisoi Munyao hoisted the flag of Kenya on Mt. Kenya during Independence. Recently he passed away. I would like to know what policy the Ministry has in place to cater for all these heroes like Kisoi Munyao, Mathenge and the rest. This assistance should be distributed equally, not---

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for affording me this opportunity to join many of my colleagues who have spoken before me on the very important matter of His Excellency the President's Address to this august House, it being the last such function under the current Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is clear that a lot of what the President had to say was geared towards winning him a second term. It is so perfectly understood, including, perhaps, winning some votes as well for whichever party His Excellency the President would eventually choose as the vehicle that will enable ...
