Yes, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am asking whether it is in order for Members on the opposite side of the House to blatantly attempt to deodorize corruption and to even, selectively, try to sanitize open fraud that is glaring to the eyes of even the most nascent innocent---

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am asking whether it is in order, because you have heard hon. Duale being told to withdraw. Is it in order for hon. John Mbadi to say that the Jubilee Government has a tall order because people in senior positions have scandals, without making specific substantiations, so that we know the specific people whose nominations for appointments as Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries we approved and have specific cases in court that deserve the statement that hon. Mbadi has made? I think Mr. Mbadi, my colleague, is obliged to make substantiations because it is unfair to ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, in July, 2008, the US Secretary of State rendered a public apology to the people of Africa and, particularly, South Africa because in July – that was exactly 18 years and five months - the great icon of anti-apartheid crusade, Nelson Mandela Madiba, was still on the terror list of Americans and so, was the Foreign Minister, who was another icon of anti-apartheid crusade. The issue of the ICC that is engulfing us all the time, despite the denials that the Grand Coalition Government or the previous regime had actually not endorsed in collectivity--- It is good ...

Hon. Speaker, first I would like to congratulate hon. Laboso who was recently hoisted as the co-President of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Joint Assembly with the European Union. I want to laud the way she presided over the Joint Assembly meeting in Brussels, Belgium, recently and to state to the Members of this House, and indeed, the constituents that produced her, that she is a star at the global level being a co-President in charge of an assembly that brings those very many nations from ACP-EU. It is a major achievement that captures an important record. So, Dr. Laboso ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I rise to support the Report of this Committee. In doing so, I would like to accept that I have not completely internalised the issue of the TSC recommendations but I understand that it has engaged in a continued discussion. Therefore, I will limit myself to the two issues raised; namely, that of compensation for Mak’Onyango and Kenya’s commitment to the ICC cases.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it needs a serious understanding of the journey that Kenya has taken to arrive where we are today. One needs to appreciate the debts of the denials and the suffering of individuals who took the bold step of engaging in competition with a totalitarian regime. There can never be enough material compensation for individuals who have been affected physically and psychologically. As I was driving through the Central Business District (CBD) this morning, I saw a former Member of Parliament, who is a professor I know very well. He must have gone through a lot of ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have been saying a lot of things here. We have seen questions being raised for compensation of individuals who have circumvented procedures in business, employment and even in international contracting. The basic thing that we are obliged to do, as a country, is really to appreciate our own individuals who have done things that are very beneficial to the collectiveness of the sovereign society that is Kenya. I know hon. Otieno Mak’Onyango, who has spent a lot of his time in the Parliamentary Library. He is still a journalist despite his advanced age and what
