Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the request for extension of time for the Committee is exposing us, as an important institution in this country. It is on record that we have not been spending our time well and here we are, trying to institutionalise that problem. The Committee has had 90 days but it has not been able to even come up with terms of reference. The Committee is asking for more time. It cannot be accepted.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Of course, you can see that I am opposed to this extension because I see an attempt to overindulge by members of this Committee, especially through suggestions that they would like to travel to the United Kingdom (UK) and spend taxpayers’ funds to find information that is already established here in Kenya.
