Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Affey is still in an ambassadorial mood. I think we should dispatch him to Somalia to continue with the work that he was engaged in. Thank you, very much.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am coming to that statement and I have every right, as a political scientist to build the anatomy of my statement, and you must be patient and consume this information. Therefore, because we have done things that have been facilitated by our international friends, and because we have a National Accord that has brought this Coalition Government together and because as Parliament, we have enjoyed facilitation and, even escalation of our capacity by the international community--- But, because we have failed collectively to do certain things that can make a foundation for good governance, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to register that, last year, many of these Members, and the country knows that I was a recipient of a communication from the American Ambassador supposedly to explain my role in promoting peace and ethnic reconciliation in the Republic of Kenya. I never sought support from any Member of Parliament from my region, from my ethnic community, Parliamentary Group nor did I seek any information or assistance from Ministers or from the President. I dealt with it personally, as a son of a woman! Through that, I travelled to America and gave an ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have withdrawn. I do that humbly and in acknowledgement that I have given Mr. Mututho a few lessons in Kiswahili. I will conclude by saying that I oppose this Bill because my conscience and foresight tells me that it is unlikely to have any impact. I, therefore, call upon the Mover and those who have supported it to take solace and consolation in the fact and reality that the dawn of justice being done to the girls and the women who were raped, the poor victims whose purported crime was only to have voted ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Bill because it is overdue and there is a very critical process of endorsing it by Parliament. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, perhaps, I should start by urging that we need to improve on the relationship between the Executive and Parliament so that all issues done by the Executive are well percolated within Parliament and that Members of Parliament also appreciate matters that are for the importance of the country and, therefore, give due consideration to the agenda that is tabled before the House. I say this ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, protect me from those who are saying that I am inciting the youth. They are my parents and I respect them. I listen carefully. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must, as a nation, decide what we want to do. Today, we are saying that we are a very sovereign country. We know that Treasury is facilitated by development partners including International Finance Corporation (IFC) and other multilateral partners. However, many times, we hear people saying that they do not want to listen to Dr. Kofi Anan, yet we know that the Coalition Government is ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the adoption of this Report and congratulate the delegation that represented our country in the 11th Session of the PAP from 18th to 29th May, 2009. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, many organs, including the African, Caribbean, Pacific and European Union (ACP/EU) Joint Assembly and the PAP deliberate on very serious issues at international fora. We also have our own East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). They do focus on serious issues, given the connectivity of the serious Members nominated by Member states to these institutions, without any localized bias. ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Ambassador Affey in order to impute improper motives on His Excellency the President by saying that he was enjoying a comedy at State House when he received the 200 metres champion, Mr. Bolt, when he knows that he is a very serious economist and very executive?
