Hon. Deputy Chairman, for that one, I have indicated that I support, but I stand guided on the one that I was speaking about on Page 709. I was saying it should come as a new Standing Order and I had wanted to push an amendment from “may” to “shall”.

Hon. Deputy Chairman, with your permission, may I please move an amendment to say “a parliamentary caucus may enjoy” because it still leaves it at your discretion. You have been fairly kind enough.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope you take into account the fact that he took a bit of my time. The reason why I wanted to allow the Chair of the Committee is because he is a man I respect and I was not very happy when they mislead the people of Mbita. I want to thank you if you have put aside money for Tom Mboya. I do not care whether it comes through NG-CDF or other means, so long as it supports what you have promised to do to the people of Mbita. What I am ...
