As has also been mentioned by the Leader of the Majority Party, this Bill is being proposed by Hon. Junet and a former Member of Parliament, while we very well understand that this Bill is being funded from public coffers. We would like to know for sure who the promoter of this Bill is and how it becomes an interest of debate where we…

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was proposing a deletion to the amendment to Section 17.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I believe that no one holds brief for me, not even the Leader of the Majority Party. I cannot be gagged especially by an individual who enjoys a lot of airtime on the Floor of this House.

However, I had a discussion over lunch with the Hon. Chair of this Committee and ...

Hon. Speaker, I would like to seek your guidance on this matter. I rise under Standing Order No.1 asking you to use your discretion to determine whether we are in order to be receiving this Report from the Departmental Committee on Health, given that this is a matter of national interest. Kenyans want to know what has been happening at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). There is an ongoing investigation by the Public Investments Committee (PIC) on matters that are about to be reported on. I had an opportunity to look at the Report of the Departmental Committee on ...
