over anything else. But when it comes to Committee reports, they should be treated equally. That is what we resolved for Private Members’ Motions and Private Members’ Bills. I want to undertake as a member of the HBC, and many of my colleagues in that Committee are here, that it is good input. It is going to be considered but let us make it stronger in the Kamukunji on Tuesday. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to support the amendment by hon. David Pkosing. Without anticipating debate, I would like to say that you cannot read that amendment without reading the one following it. The amendment is giving clarity on how the sharing of this revenue is going to be done between the Kenya Airports Authority and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority. It does not leave it to the Cabinet Secretary to decide.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank all Members of this House. When the Temporary Deputy Chairman was appreciating the support from Members, I wanted to thank them too. I have lobbied them to be in the Chamber. It is quite unusual to have over 50 Members in the Chamber at this hour, taking into consideration the fact that we have passed a Motion to extend the Sitting of this House to even up to midnight. I thank Members from both sides of the House.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. First of all, I would like to agree with my good friend hon. Ng’ongo and Chair of the Committee, hon. Chepkong’a that maybe a lot needed to be done on this Act. If you read the Report on Page 2, the Secretary to the National Cohesion and Integration Committee, Dr. Owino, said to the Committee that they are doing a lot as the Secretariat to align the Act to the new Constitution; the only Constitution we have as a country. But we have to live with the laws as they ...

need to find people who are politically--- Once appointed, you will serve as a commissioner or chairman in a very neutral capacity. You do not what to know who has said this or that, so long as you are following the law. Therefore, I would really wish to ask my colleagues that we really support this Report of the Committee and this Commission should have been there even yesterday. Now that we are calling for a referendum and we are going to hype this country in political rallies, this commission ought to have been in place long before we even ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. Actually I have been on an intervention for quite some time. That is because I want to move:- THAT, in accordance to Standing Order 97, this House, resolves to reduce the debating time per Member to five minutes because of the interest that this Motion No.9 is going to attract. I did not want to move it when we have already moved the Motion. So, hon. Speaker, I seek your permission.

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate hon. Zebedeo Opore for having managed to come to this House twice in one Session. As the Leader of the Majority has said, the constituency has made history in very many ways. Bonchari is the only constituency in respect of which the High Court declared somebody a winner and gave him a certificate without subjecting the people of Bonchari Constituency to another election. We had hon. John Oyoka in this House for a very short time. Hon. Zebedeo decided to petition the Supreme Court over the matter. The ...

Thank you Deputy Speaker. Indeed, the issue my colleague, hon. Member for Rarieda has raised is very important. My only concern is that he has read the Constitution selectively; he should have gone further. Being an old Member of this House, he knows that this is not the first time the Kenya Defence forces are being deployed to assist the police in internal matters with regard to security as provided in the law. It was done during the previous Parliament to which he was a Member. It was again done; this is about the second time it is being done ...
