I want to thank Sen. (Dr.) Ali for coming up with this very important Statement. For those of us who use public and private facilities, and particularly airports, as long as you have entered, there is a tax. Whether or not you are parking you will still pay. Even when there is a flight delay and you go round the airport as you wait for your visitor, you will still pay a particular fee.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am reliably informed, and I need the confirmation of your office, that the otherwise good Governor of Murang’a, Governor Mwangi wa Iria, had been invited to come to a Committee of this House to discuss a matter related to water management in this great Republic but he refused. Summons were issued, he defied them. The Inspector General (IG) of Police has written to say he needs a court order before he can arrest the Governor and have him charged in a court of law. If that is the position, and we are waiting for your correct ...
