Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister because she has said that this project will be scaled up to take into account other areas that have not been covered because I have heard a lot of questions coming from Mbita Constituency on the older persons that are not covered in various places. However, given that you are saying that you will apply it equally and equality sometimes leads to injustice, would you consider also looking at equity so that areas that are more needy, because of incidents of poverty, like Mbita Constituency, are considered to be given more?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I notice that the Minister has given a very comprehensive answer, but he has very conveniently avoided the Question that hon. Shakeel asked about Mr. Onyango Oloo. I would like the Minister to confirm if he knows this Onyango Oloo, and if he is, in any way, the Secretary-General of TNA, or he is a different Onyango Oloo.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Minister in order to mislead this House that the composition of the security team does not matter when by law the composition matters? By both the Constitution and the National Cohesion and Integration Act, you cannot have more than two-thirds members of the same ethnic community. Is he in order to mislead this House?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, my understanding is that hon. Ethuro and the Committee did not delete “(i)” but they deleted “(j)” and “(k)” and introduced that amendment which I was happy with and which I supported. I, however, do not support the Minister’s amendment and say it will be prudent if the Minister moved hers as a further amendment so that those of us who want to speak to it can do so.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support, but for purposes of clarity, I want to state that the Minister withdrew her proposed deletion of (i). The records need to be clear that we have not removed the Commission.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the original 90 days that was given by the Committee was informed by the fact we had gone round the country on this issue of IDPs. We discovered that in many places most people had not reached any centre where they could be profiled within two weeks. Many people today, especially integrated IDPs, are not profiled. There are women with no hands, people who

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to confirm that where hon. Ababu has been giving Mr. Ruto legal counsel, I have also been giving him psycho-socio counsel. Indeed, the hon. Member has asked a very pertinent question that when a young person commits suicide, you cannot reverse this. This is a life lost. So, it would be important for the Minister to put stop-gap measures in dealing with that. However, what can the Minister state in terms of development of a policy that will be mainstreamed in every Government Ministry and department to deal with cases of psycho-socio support ...
