Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has happened many times that while we intend to perform within a period of two weeks, circumstances sometimes are such that we do not get the responses in good time. There is a tradition in this House and we are requesting for---. This is not the first time for a request for extension to be given. Therefore, I request the Senator for West Pokot to agree with the extension of one more week.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have called upon the Ministry to respond. With due respect, we have always promptly responded to any questions that come before the Committee. I think this is a special case and, therefore, I seek indulgence. There must be some reason for that. Maybe they were at some other place but this is an exceptional case.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Vice Chairperson for the response. However, I would like to seek further clarification in view of the fact that the Ministry says that the CID officers do not always attend the vetting committees; they attend when need arises. The information we have is that all meetings, without exception, are attended by officers from the CID. Is the Vice Chairperson, therefore, saying that they will now be withdrawn and will not be attending all meetings? The CID officers who are doing a very good job in my county of dealing with crime have ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Leader of Majority for handling this matter well and also to thank you for postponing it to give us time to look at it. As he goes to do it, I remember when this issue came, I asked one thing: What is the definition of an IDP? I did not get an answer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is a person who was displaced and went back to his land and is now settled still an IDP? There are people who were squatters somewhere and they were also displaced. They did not ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Senator for Kakamega in order to impute improper motives on me, when I did not mention any Kenyan community as having displaced other communities in the historical times? I mention - which is a fact - that the British colonialists displaced some communities. I also mentioned that there are squatters in Trans-Nzoia who were displaced, including the Luhyas and other people who are not necessarily from one community. I am speaking for them. Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to introduce the element of community?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is an important Bill. It is no doubt that sports have enhanced the reputation of our country. It has made us proud. It is also a source of employment and wealth creation for our youth. There is a perception that Kenya is benefiting out of doping. We are aware of some athletes who have done well in the international sports including Olympics, but they were later denied medals because the winners were later discovered to have engaged in doping. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, under the definition Clause, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation ...
