amendments and requested further amendments to the Committee’s amendment. Further to that, hon. Karua had consulted with the Minister and the Minister had suggested you put the LSK instead of APSEA. I would want to say that personally I do not mind whether it is APSEA or the LSK. If the Committee is very passionate about APSEA, I am okay with it. All that I would want to urge the Minister is that he should move, since I cannot move, or the Committee Chair does a further amendment to his own amendment to retain the National Gender and Equality Commission, ...

Thank you, Mr. Tempraory Deputy Chairman, Sir. Today I am bit quiet, unfortunately, because I did not go for lunch. So, I am a little tired because I did not go for lunch. Having said that, I want to say that I support this amendment. Mr. Tempraory Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that despite the harassment that I am being given by hon. Isaac Ruto, he knows that I am unbwogable and unmoved and if he continues, I will call hon. Beatrice Kones to deal with him. I know dawa yake.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, having said that, I want to say that despite what hon. Mbadi is saying, that this affects the middle class, it is not affecting just the middle class. I get calls every day from rural Kenyans; from people who did not go to school; people who are struggling; fishermen and farmers whose houses are being auctioned. They do not auction houses that they own like us. They are auctioning chairs. Indeed, one person told me that one of the banks went and actually uprooted a simple house, which is even illegal by any law. So, ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I am not very clear which New Clause 44 we are dealing with because we have New Clause 44 and New Clause 44A and there is an amendment I wish to oppose. So, I want to be clear. If it is the one being moved by hon. Keynan, I wish to oppose it. So, I would like to know.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for that Statement. Only last week, we buried Commissioner Mary Onyango arising from cancer. There is a very good friend of mine, a young brilliant man called Meshack who is struggling with cancer right now at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). Cases of cancer are alarmingly on the increase and we have very few oncologists in this country that can deal with all the cases of cancer. What is the Government doing to ensure that we invest in training more oncologists to deal with those cases?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My concern is of a different nature. The Assistant Minister has said that he is directing the Commissioner of Police--- What Mr. Imanyara has said he went through yesterday is actually serious. He could have lost his life. The Commissioner of Police has in the past taken such issues very seriously, but he now makes a mockery and a joke of them. It sometimes makes me wonder if, indeed, the police are directly involved in such incidents and that is why they make a mockery of them. When I was attacked ...
