Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to urge the Committee to reconsider their position because their argument is informed by the current situation. This means that the Committee seems to be legislating for a set of refugees in the country but, we are not legislating for those refugees. This is a Refugee Bill which will affect refugees of all times, whether in 2016, 2017 or 2089.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If you listened very carefully to the Chairman of the Committee, he has said that the reason that this should be deleted is because Clause 55 has been deleted.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for reminding Hon. Duale that he is not the Speaker of the House; he is the Leader of the Majority Party. I would urge that he sits down when Hon. Millie Odhiambo, MP for Mbita, is talking. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

That is the provision of the Standing Orders of this House. Hon. Duale is standing yet the Standing Orders do not allow him to stand when I am talking.

Well, I am glad he is trying to be evasive by pretending to consult, but the Standing Orders indicate that Hon. Duale cannot stand when Millie Odhiambo is speaking. Having said that, is Hon. Duale in order to allege that Jubilee will produce the first woman Governor when we know that Wavinya Ndeti of National Super Alliance (NASA) will be the first woman Governor of this country? Let him know that we will produce the first woman Governor, but do we say?
