On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to raise a point of order under Standing Order No.36 and move:- THAT, the debate be now adjourned. I ask you to use your discretion to postpone this debate to a later date, maybe in the next Session for the following reasons: One, if you actually look at what we have before us, it has the potential of being another Anglo-Leasing scam.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to raise a point of order under Standing Order No.25. I am requesting the House to put off the debate on this Motion to a later date in order to give us time to look at it. The amounts that are involved here are astronomical.

We should see more action in the Session. We would like to see equal opportunities from a gender perspective. As we go home, many of us are saying that we should go and talk to our constituents about the Constitution. That is good. We should do that and engage our constituents for up to 30 days. After the 30 days, I believe that we, hon. Members, were brought here by the good Lord at such a time for a purpose. We should take time for introspection. We should be the persons to give Kenyans hope instead of raising tempers in ...
