Mr. Speaker, Sir, much as I regret that I have to say what I have to say, I feel that, somehow, there is an oppressive spirit coming into the House. The point of order I wish to raise does not relate--- This is a new matter and, perhaps, it might be useful to listen to us, if you want to learn. Since you are introducing something new---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as per the Standing Orders and the Constitution, the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister and Ministers are all Ministers in this House. Therefore, if you are going to ask the Prime Minister questions, should it not be on the same basis that they are Ministers answering on behalf of the Government? If we are going to be reduced to not asking questions, are we protecting the Prime Minister from our interrogation? It should be open for us to be able to interrogate him

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Attorney-General to mislead this House on a very serious constitutional matter? There is no House of Lords here. There is no House of Commons. This is the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya, where we are all equal. So, we cannot allow it to pass casually. Indeed, we are talking about reforms. If we are talking about reforms, we should not be misled by the Attorney-General in that very casual manner.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are a number of us here who are practising advocates, including myself and my learned friend. Is he in order to suggest that when we are carrying out our duties as advocates, we cannot also apply for jobs in the public service?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Report of the Committee. However, this raises the important issue of implementation of Committee Reports of this House. There is hardly any need of accepting this Report if it is also just going to gather dust in the archives of Parliament.

The second thing that arises from this Report is that we have successive governments, which are like parents who have been unwilling to let people grow up. If you look at what has befallen the pyrethrum industry, really, what you see is a Ministry which is unwilling to let the people themselves do what they must do, and do it in the best way they know. This really pervades to all the sectors, not just in the Ministry of Agriculture, but rather, in the whole Government.
