Thank you. Hon. Okoth, knowing that you are a very brief person, I am sure you can contend with the next two or three minutes to deliver your speech on this. Hon. Okoth, the Floor is yours, please.

I do not think the Standing Orders will allow that. The Standing orders just do not allow it. Let us go to the next speaker, therefore. Fatuma Ibrahim Ali; you only have two minutes, mum.

The Standing Order that my ...
