Madam Temporary Speaker, I am even shocked and I do not know what Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo is up to. This debate has been there several times. I have held workshops and said that it does not give condoms to children. In fact, when the Bill is properly read, interpreted and enacted, it will make them not to think about such things.

The Senator should stop ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. As the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, I know we have done a tremendous job conducting our oversight role on the counties. As a Committee, we have tried and invited many of our counterparts in the counties. We have only a quarter of the committees on delegated legislation from counties left. During our first interaction, we discovered that not many of our colleagues understood, first and foremost, their mandate within the committees and statutory instruments.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request for more time to find out how far the negotiations have reached and when the monies can be availed. In any event, we have issued summons against the Cabinet Secretary to appear before the Committee on 15th March, 2016. This is because he has occasionally failed to honour the invitations many times. If possible, with the indulgence of the Chair, we can have a House Committee so that he responds to all these questions. However, in a week’s time, I will answer Sen. Karaba on the exact time the funding will commence.
