On a point of order Mr. Speaker Sir. I appreciate the question raised by the Senator for Vihiga County.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I totally concur with the point of order raised by Sen. Khaniri. I would be more than happy to see my name there reading EGH. I have no problem with that suggestion. I considered in the course of these proceedings that we will bring the necessary amendments before the end of the day to capture the titles such as EGH, including for Senior Counsel,James Orengo. So, if that is permitted, with your permission, I can proceed and then we will bring the amendments?
