Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support that deletion because I happened to be in that meeting where the Treasury, the Committee and some of us who were very keen on this Bill were present. There was a big debate. If you look at the Bill, all other methods of procurement are provided even for restricted tendering, single sourcing and quotations. So, when you now open the latitude and allow the Authority to permit other procedures as it may deem fit, it opens doors for abuse. After that debate from all concerned parties, we agreed the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support this amendment because we are talking about logical acquisition of papers. In this country, there are some people who cannot explain where they got their papers. One claims that he is a Form Four graduate and then after that he has a Masters Degree.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. So, out of these insecurity issues particularly the one that happened in Garissa, there are questions that we are asking as leaders and as Kenyans. One is the issue of intelligence. Where was the intelligence in this country? There are signs that this security alert had been issued. On the issue of responsiveness to this insecurity, it took six to seven hours. Then there is the also issue of refugees which has come up. I think we have taken the issue of human rights a little bit too far to a point where we ...
