On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. That is what I want to say. The Attorney-General is not a Member of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. He cannot be purporting to explain what took place. I am a Member of that committee.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am amazed by my colleagues there in the way they are perceiving the message. Indeed, we could have sent the message to the entire Government and that is maybe what we were intending to do; that Kenyans and ourselves are dissatisfied with the way the Government is performing. But we are also citizens of this country and we are responsible leaders. So we are saying: âLook here, we have to pull up our socks!â We know and we have been the strongest advocates for the State Law Office. We have suggested that they be ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also beg to support the Motion. However, I wish to go on record that we have been very hasty in passing our laws and amending our Constitution.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to add on to what has been said, particularly with regard to the film industry. I was, at one time, the Chairman of the Kenya Film Commission and I learnt, in just that short time that in 2006, Nigeria made US$64 billion just from the film industry. Yet Kenya, which is known worldwide for its best filming locations, was nowhere near there. But do you know why they go away? We have a problem with Immigration Department. We have a problem with Customs and we have a problem with everything else. If ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have been told that not having a plan is also a plan. But to have a plan which we do not follow is also the same thing. Now, I want to support the Vote for this Ministry but, honestly, today---
