Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that in my view, we are actually putting the cat before the horse. If I was standing before a court of law, I would be asked what the issue before us is. The issue before us is the Gazette Notice. Is it delegated legislation or no? Under Cap. 2, definition of section, it is delegated legislation. We are asking that, therefore, by the powers conferred under the Standing Orders of this House, it be taken to the Committee dealing with delegated legislation. So, all these issues that are being raised here shall ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, for instance, the issues under Section 8(3) and the Schedule 3(2), will be issues that will be discussed by that Committee. We would want to look at whether there was legality in dealing with that issue. Secondly, we have been asked to look at the principles of legal interpretation. My most able teacher, hon. Mutula Kilonzo has told us that we have forgotten. We were wonderful students. I remember them well even in French language. The first principle is the principle of the intent of Parliament. That committee will look at the intent of Parliament as contained ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You had given direction that the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security should issue a Statement on the alleged case of sexual abuse of boys by Father Kizito.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would want to say that the HELB is a key institution that has helped many students. Many of us are here courtesy of HELB. I am sure if my poor mother was given the opportunity to educate me out of her own resources, I would not be standing here today. That is why it is, indeed, important for us to have it. But I would want to say that HELB has also helped a lot of marginalized and vulnerable groupings. I know that the hon. Member who has spoken ahead of me has

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. Now that he admits that the Government is committed to protecting human rights, is he aware that the vulnerable, especially children, who are victims of violence especially sexual and gender based violence are actually subject to traditional system of justice which does not respect their human rights? People sort out their issues as per traditional systems especially in the far flung islands. The Assistant Minister is saying that will be done when funds become available. Could he clarify if this is not the reason why we ...
