Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a clarification on that issue because I am the one who sought for it. I do appreciate that the Assistant Minister has taken a fairly urgent action to get a comprehensive answer and report to this House. You notice that he talked about a technical fault that led to the start of the gangrene. What was the nature of that technical fault? Was it proper to allow the parent to take a child whose life was in danger under those circumstances, when the law has provisions for the hospital to take charge ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Okemo, as the Chair of the Committee on Finance, Planning, Trade and Tourism was given a deadline regarding the investigations into the Grand Regency Hotel saga. The deadline has passed and we have not been given any report. In the same vein, may I ask that you give the same reprimand and ensure that we get the compliance to the Speaker's ruling on the report on the Grand Regency Hotel saga.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, rights abuses, molestation and torture of children are on the increase. As I speak, the Kenya Television Network (KTN) is running a story on a child who is in hospital, threatened with amputation. This is a shame because I believe the Assistant Minister and many Members in this House have received that information through an SMS as I have.

Why is the Minister that is in charge of children affairs allowing this child to suffer such agony and the whole nation is with her ...

On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you for this opportunity, and I am glad that I gave notice to the Assistant Minister for Medical Services in view of the urgency of the matter. I am requesting a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of Medical Services on the plight of the girl whom we have been seeing in the news for the last few days. She is lying in hospital and her condition is deteriorating daily.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity also to make some observations regarding this very important Bill which I wholly support, although I feel certain improvements could be made on it. In many ways, this is the most important piece of legislation that is coming before this House and I join those who are congratulating the Minister for preparing this very important Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for a long time, we have been talking about abuses of human rights in this country. Politicians and political parties have been making many promises regarding what they will ...
