Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this House, I am one of those people who worked with the late Dr. Ouko for some time. Dr. Ouko was an efficient, effective and thoroughly nice Minister to work with. Most of us learnt diplomacy from Dr. Ouko because, as said by hon. Imanyara, he was a trained diplomat, having worked in the British system. Most of us who knew the late Dr. Ouko have always wished that we could know who robbed Kenya of such a bright man. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I have a few observations to ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we live and learn. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Members for engaging seriously on this Bill, which is very important for a lot of people and for a large part of our economy.

They advise constantly and we value their advice. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you gave me only one minute, I want to spend that saying two things. One; we do not take for ...
