On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to draw out attention to today’s Order Paper.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Ms. Karua is telling me that my voice is not shrill. What I would like to say in relation to the Bill is the same experience that we had with the National Cohesion and Integration Act which basically set a Commission, but it did not have the flesh.

The ones who want to know can see me later on. Even where I have worked, my staff used to get surprised that I would sometimes say that people from my own community were too many and I was the one who was employing. You can even attest to that fact from the organization I left.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was in the House yesterday and today I was surprised to see in The Daily Nation the name of hon. Affey reported as having opposed the Motion. The House yesterday unanimously endorsed the nomination of Rev. Kobia. So, I request that the concerned media house be reprimanded and asked to apologise very prominently in the newspapers.
