Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you are aware, Statements that are pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1) are presented two hours to the sitting. This means that they do not ordinarily appear on the Order Paper. I have one that was presented today at midday on an urgent matter; the matter of the public service vehicles ban and the transport crisis in Nairobi County.
