Mr. Pesa, tomorrow in the afternoon. Is that okay with you?

The Question will be back on the Order Paper tomorrow in the afternoon. Before the Minister answers the Question he will need to explain his absence from the House to answer it, given that it is disorderly conduct for a Minister not to be in the House to give an answer, just as it is disorderly conduct for a Member not to be in the House to ask a Question when it is called.

Hon. Members, I wish to point out that at the request of the Member for Baringo Central, and as he has explained to the Chair the circumstances under which he failed to ask Question No.2 by Private Notice as a result of which I dropped it, I will now reinstate it and it will be on the Order Paper tomorrow in the afternoon.

With regard to Question by Private Notice No.3, which I deferred tomorrow – I do not know if hon.

So, Mr. Assistant Minister, what do you have to say to this?

Thank you. Given that explanation - and I really do not want to take too much thing on this - I will withdraw the sanctions that were imposed on the Minister. However, Mr. Ethuro, given the time we had allowed for Question Time, I do not think we will be able to handle it now. The nature of business before us is such that we need to go to the next Order now. I would like to ask you to indicate when this Question can be prosecuted, now that I have restored it and the Minister is no longer under ...

It is only that, that is what you require. There may be other Members who may be interested; it is an important Question regarding licenses.

You will not be able to split that too because the sanctions were as a result of the absence of the Minister to answer a Question. You have agreed that the Assistant Minister can do so and, therefore, you cannot have half sanctions and half indulgence. I am still not persuaded that we can give this Question the time it requires. Mr. Ethuro, I know you sit in the same panel with me. I am requesting you to agree with the Assistant Minister that we defer this so that we can give the remaining time to pending business. I think ...

Tomorrow afternoon then. Of course, Mr. Ekwee Ethuro, you should be preparing for the Committee of the Whole House.
