Mr. Speaker, Sir, first I thank the Leader of Minority for wishing us a Merry Christmas, although belatedly, and a Happy New Year. It is customary also to wish people a prosperous New Year. I therefore, remind and wish him a prosperous New Year. About the success in elections, he has to contend with Sen. Okong’o.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share the concerns of Members regarding access to Parliament. About the absence of many people in the public gallery, the Minority Leader did not notice that there is a lady in the public gallery.

She is a person. He was saying there is nobody. There is somebody in the public gallery. Secondly, under the Police Act, it is the duty of the police to protect Kenyans and their property. I am not saying that it is not the duty of the police to protect the Members of Parliament. It is the duty of the police to ensure that the Members of Parliament access Parliament.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is true we were all very disappointed when this House passed the Sang Bill establishing the County Development Boards across all the counties. That Bill was passed in the National Assembly too and assented to by the President. However, these rogue governors ganged up and went to court and blocked its implementation. I want to assure Sen. Sang that immediately I become the Governor for Meru County, whether that law is still in court or not, we will establish the Meru County Development Board and the Governor, Kiraitu Murungi, will be the secretary and the ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for recognizing me to speak to this important Motion in which I have been involved for the last one-and-a-half years. The journey that we have travelled is painful. In my own analysis, what we are dealing with is more than meets the eye. We are dealing with a serious case of mischief, dishonesty and dishonourable conduct among Members of Parliament.

When this new set of rules we had agreed on were published and brought to the House, we did not expect any debate at all because we had agreed. Indeed, when they were tabled before the Senate and taken to the Committee on Delegated Legislation, our Committee passed them. When they were taken to the Committee on Delegated Legislation of the National Assembly, we were informed that even before the Committee sat, those two Members whom I have mentioned; hon. T.J Kajwang and hon. Simba Arati, had raised new issues and they were saying the rules have not been published ...
