Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As a teacher and MP for Emuhaya, I must take this opportunity to congratulate you. As a teacher of History and Government, I understand the Commonwealth very well because it is the mother of all the parliamentary systems of the nations that were formerly colonised by Britain.

Having been one of them, Kenya is the bedrock of the principals of the parliamentary system that was able to also accommodate the Monarch. That is why the British parliamentary system still upholds the Monarch while all other countries, including France, do not. I take this opportunity to congratulate you for being appointed the Chair of CPA. This position should go a long way in helping us, new MPs, to also access the Commonwealth grounds and learn more about its undertakings.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Looking at the Finance Bill, like one of the Members said, it was a desperate measure to raise funds through taxes. The rider should be that these taxes must not be raised in a way that will completely kill the mwanachi or the peasant. The biggest role of Parliament is to protect the weak local mwananchi. I convince and appeal to my fellow Members of Parliament that as we contribute on this, this is our core business.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will do with the two minutes, but this is how we make bad laws. The 1.5 per cent being deducted is not taking into account the fact that we are giving this money to build houses. We have very many poor people in our villages in Emuhaya, Siaya and countrywide, who also need houses. A law has not been made on how to address this particular housing scheme that will affect our people. Already, the amendment in this clause is discriminatory because it is not dealing with housing for all Kenyans. It is ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do not want to contribute through the back door. My card is in and functioning. I want to support the views raised by the preceding Member. To the Mover of the Motion, the friends of committees are sometimes important people in terms of giving knowledge about that specific thing the committee is discussing. These friends may not be Members of that Committee. Whereas these amendments have been brought to create order in the House and the committees, I think you being a ranking Member should also understand that the results of the debates in Parliament ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to second that amendment. We need consultation between the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party. As I second, I must say we are not interested in challenging the authority of the Leader of the Majority Party or of the Leader of the Minority Party. These are our rules. For us to operate well, it is important that the majority consults with the minority moving forward. These are House rules. Thank you. I beg to second.
