Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is very difficult to know that it is household sugar. It is called “other sugars”, “invert sugar”, “sugar syrup”. Is this normal sugar that we use in the house? It is also called fructose. This is because I would support if this is the sugar that is on the table of the poor person in Homa Bay. If it is not, then I am inclined to oppose. I would like the Mover to clarify. Could you clarify?

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

We would like this House to pursue this matter ...

Hon. Speaker, since the proceedings are not here--- Hon. Cecilia Ngâetich rose on a point of order, perhaps, the burden is on her to produce the proceedings. I will proceed to seek my clarification with regard to this Statement. I am greatly dissatisfied with the answer read by the Leader of Majority Party. Indeed, no reason has been given. He only cited clauses. We are not talking about a house girl here; we are talking about the CEO of a very large parastatal. Whatever the offence this person committed, there are laws of natural justice and regulations of the NSSF. ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, the Statement by the Leader of Majority Party was so skeleton that I am trying to see how to get anything out of it. I would like him to clarify that it is fundamental--- The Leader of Majority Party has risen, but I do not know whether he has the right to rise up.
