Hon. Deputy Speaker, the fact that I have just come in is one reason that I have to raise a point of order because you must know that I am around. I would like you to clarify something because you have talked about Hon. Rozaah Buyu and the people who knew her; does it know her biblically or in English? While I was away, there was a new addition to the English vocabulary. Some are called “ Twa ” and others “ Anoi ”. Can I know what exactly you mean, Hon. Deputy Speaker?

Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I take this opportunity to, of course, support the Bill. Even before I support, I want to indicate that I was away last week.

I also wish to tell you that I was elected to the international Executive of the body. So, I am carrying the flag of Kenya very high. I had the highest number of votes. I can see you are smiling congratulating me. I want to say that I support this Bill. In doing so, I say it is not new Bill. It is a successor to the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act. What ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for issuing the Communication. I just wanted to seek a clarification. In a case where you have three different Bills pertaining to the said matter, is there a possibility of co-sponsoring a Bill between a Member of the Senate and a Member of the National Assembly to fast-track certain Bills? This is because the public participation Bills that we are talking about may be similar in content or principle, but with minor differences in terms of approaches. I am saying this because I also have the Reproductive Health Bill, which is still waiting for the pre-publication ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute. Hon. Junet wants to intimidate me by shouting that I support lesbians or gays. He knows me. Whether I support them or not, I state my facts clearly for the entire world to know. So, I will state my position very clearly.

I am a Christian and it cannot change. Two, I am a human rights activist. Those two cannot change. Where the two conflicts, I am Christian and that does not change. Having said that, I have listened to Hon. Jennifer Shamalla. She said that she was denied accreditation. If, indeed, that is true, it is intolerance of the highest order. I want to urge the organisers that it does not matter what the diverse opinions are. Let them go to the ICPD and be heard. We are also falling in the same trap. The same way we are stopping Hon. ...

As I finish, Hon. Speaker, indulge me one second. Yesterday, I watched television and listened to the Christian community speak. They say that as a consequence of ICPD, there will be decisions that will be made that will bind this country. Because I listened to the Christian and Muslim voices, I brought a Bill that people do not use in the House called the Treaty Making and Ratification Act. No international instrument or agreement can be passed in the entire world and ratified by Kenya without the stamp of Parliament. So, let us not split hairs for no reason. Parliament ...
