Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know how much more time the Chairman will require noting that this Statement is long overdue. It is nearly two months now.

These children are neither goats nor sheep; they are not cows that are stolen or a car that is lost in a normal robbery. These are lives of small innocent Kenyans aged 8 to 16. It begs the question: What is so particular about the 8 to 16-year-olds that are being kidnapped and killed in this village? To have a Cabinet Secretary who earns a salary and allowances every month, including 24-hour protection, asking ...

He has very many minutes and I have to assist him use some of them. Madam Temporary Speaker, is the Senate Minority Leader in order to say this Government is corrupt? I know his daughter and other people’s children are employed by this Government. Is he in order to say all civil servants working in this Government are corrupt? He should withdraw that statement and apologise.
