Yes, I am, Hon. Speaker. I think my brother, Hon. Ichung’wah, has a bad habit of always referring to us as first-timers in this House. He assumes that some of us have nothing to say in this House. Hon. Ichung’wah wrongly referred to me as the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. He went ahead and said that we have flooded the security sector in this country. I want to state clearly that there is only one proposed name in this House. There is no other Member from Kirinyaga in the Departmental Committee on Administration and ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on the two petitions, the first and the third one. On the first one, when we talk about prayers, this is a very serious issue and we hope that we can integrate prayers in each and every holiday we have so that we do not have a stand-alone holiday when we have so many holidays.

No, it is not unless I am not able to open it. This is an area I have a lot of interest and not accessing the amendments puts me in an awkward position.

The Leader of the Majority Party is telling me that it is there yet I have opened, but I do not find it. It is me who does not have the online Order Paper, and not Hon. Mwathi.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second this very important Bill brought to this House by Hon. Gideon Keter. This Bill could not have come at any other better time than this time when our youth are out there struggling to get jobs. This Bill is simply reducing the cost incurred by the youth while seeking jobs. I am concerned about the agony they go through in processing the various documents. These are young men and woman seeking jobs, probably, for the first time. They are subjected to seeking compliance certification or clearance from four different institutions ...
