Just allow me some time to speak. Hon. Limo has said that we should have received 75 per cent of the money, but out of the Kshs41 billion for this financial year, Kshs30 billion has been released, which is about 70 per cent. However, there is a gap of Kshs14 billion. If this House does not pass the Kshs14 billion… By the way, I am also affected by this issue of the NG-CDF. We need to pass the extra Kshs14 billion, which is the contention that some of us had. We even warned the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury ...

So, Hon. Members, the reason why even the Budget and Appropriations Committee sent away the Cabinet Secretary is because he had not included the Kshs14 billion arrears, which has since been included in the Supplementary Budget that is going to be tabled here. We need to be clear about the issue of the Kshs14 billion plus the Kshs11 billion that is remaining for this financial year, which will bring the total to about Kshs25 billion. We need to have clarity on how it is going to be spread so that before the end of this financial year, we receive the ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was away earlier and said I would not miss on such a day. Speaking as a first timer, the first time I came to your office, one of the things you told me is that fidelity to your political party is a very critical thing. You told me of your history in the Kenya African National Union (KANU) including the days when the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) was sweeping across the country. I remember you telling me when Hon. Raila came with his entourage with loud music, you ran and hid in the farm behind ...

Thank you and much obliged. I am fully masked. I want to tell Hon. Omulele that soon I will be one of the people leading the rest of this House to take the jab. Back to my story, you said that when you lose a political position, you should not be too worried if you are doing a good job, something bigger and better could possibly be coming. When you lost your seat in Siakago, you ended up becoming the Speaker and you are serving your second term.

I was also a bit worried because I belonged to the other coalition that did not support you. I remember you giving me your history with Hon. John Mbadi. He had promised to vote for you in your second term until the last minute, but when he came, he was honest and told you that he would not vote. You told him you understood.

I invited you to visit my constituency. Again, I was not sure you would honour that invite, but you said you had never been to Uriri though you had served with a former Member, Hon. Odhiambo Omamba. You said you would try. On the material day, I remember the weather was not very good. I was very worried because all the preparations had been done. You ended up arriving at almost 5.00p.m., meaning you keep your word.

I want to tell you that you are the first Sitting Speaker of this House to come to my constituency. We do not take it for granted because you made history in my area. We did a fundraiser for a church with you and my people prayed for you. I remember the prayer was that you were set for bigger things. I can see some of those prayers are already being answered. I want to tell you that you are not only the first Speaker to come to my constituency, but history will be that you will be the first ...
