Thank you for this opportunity, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You can see the order of the House business is not moving clearly. This is courtesy of the residual effect of the poisonous sugar. I also want to tell you that the integrity of the House is at stake. It will be important that we tackle it at one point in time.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I feel that the Member is not in order. Remember these proceedings of the National Assembly are usually live. If you talk recklessly with ease and carelessly say that you were in Russia and you are now back in Kenya where you are suffering from climatic change, then what will the public think about Parliament?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not think Hon. Sankok - whom I sit with in the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare - is in order to expand the talk of safety networks in our schools - which are now very important because they touch on an issue that is currently happening in our schools - and associate it with teachers’ strikes.
