Mr. Chairman, Sir, indeed, what the hon. Attorney- General is saying is true. We had very extensive consultations with him and the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and we agreed that was the way to go. So, my amendment was in relation to one area that was contentious and which if the hon. Attorney-General is agreeable to deleting, then I would not need to bring an amendment but if there was an amendment as earlier had been proposed, then I was actually going to put in a further amendment. However, if the way the hon. Attorney-General is going is ...

On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Just to enable us move faster, I want to clarify that I was holding fort for the Chair. Before the Chair came, we agreed---

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just wanted to guide the House, so that we can move faster. I know the Chair of the committee came in when we were already proceeding. But it was a joint agreement which the Attorney- General explained at the beginning and which I concurred with, between the Attorney- General and the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs; it was that the Attorney-General would remove all the amendments. So, all our amendments as the Committee stand withdrawn; we have given the Attorney-General the mandate to move all the deletions. So, deferring will take us long ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, indeed, it is actually a very precarious situation. The Attorney-General indulged us twice and we had a very lengthy meeting with him. We have no amendments because we have not looked at the Bill as a Committee. We met again on Saturday without the Attorney-General, but we were given other pressing work for the Committee. So, what we did was to prioritize and we did not look at this Bill. The Committee said that if we were not sitting, because there was a presumption that we were not going to sit on 2nd, then it ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I would like the Deputy Leader of Government Business to clarify, one is in relation to Bills that have passed the Third Stage such as Treaty Making and Ratification Bill and why it has not been assented to despite the fact--- Indeed, there are many Bills that were passed

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a little worried about what the Deputy Leader of Government Business has said – that the Speaker will be guiding us on how to go about the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill. I have brought personal amendments. The Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs also did but none of those amendments are on the Order Paper.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support. Even though I do not know Mr. Kimaiyo personally, his curriculum vitae is extremely impressive. Given that he has gone through a very rigorous process, I believe that he is a suitable candidate. We have come through a very difficult time as a country and I am hoping that we will pass his name and he will lead the services at a time that the country needs a smooth transition.

The only thing that is unfortunate is that if it had been a woman, they would have created all manner of reasons to make sure that it did not come, including amending laws, so that they do not get positions as we are trying to sneak in cheekily and stop women from taking the deputy positions. I do not know why, as a country, the men want to pretend that they are allergic to women when they are not allergic to them.
