Hon. Speaker, I do not want to interfere with Hon. Sankok because he is speaking very well about inclusivity, but he has just forgotten to include the intersex. Having said this, I want to seek your direction based on the guidance you have given. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

As a matter of fact, I did not come in the morning and I have not put a request today. I was just interested in listening to Members because I am under the impression that when you are dealing with a constitutional matter, so long as there is still interest, every Member will speak but your pronouncement seems to suggest otherwise. Just so that I know, even if I do not have a chance to speak, at least, I go on record that I did not get time. I come from a human rights background and it is important to ...

The Leader of the Majority Party keeps on interfering with me and so, I am not very clear on what I am saying. Hon. Speaker, I would like to know because ordinarily, when we are discussing a constitutional matter, so long as Members show interest… I would like to know if we will continue next week because we will not finish today.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for reminding us that when we have been on recess. At times, we forget. Now that I am fully reminded, I just want to say that my point of order is not in relation to what the Member was saying. There was a time I was charged almost Kshs500,000 because of a broken desk, but through your intervention, I finally did not get to pay. Where I am sitting, there is a broken desk and I am fearing Parliament might again presume that I am the one who has broken it.

So, can the House take note that I have just walked in and there is a broken desk? I am not the one responsible Hon. Speaker. As we are going towards the elections every penny counts and I do not want any of my money to be taken for a broken desk. I thank you, Hon. Speaker.

What Hon. David Ochieng’ and others have raised are very important because this is the first time we have come up with a popular initiative that has reached this level. I am glad to hear from Hon. Otiende saying that the Joint Committee has looked into it but because of lack of time, we have not had an opportunity to read. I am sure we will read. I hope that the Committee will address them. Even if we do not address them as Parliament, they will be addressed elsewhere. So it would be very foolhardy as Parliament to leave out ...

Based on what they have stated and giving cognisance of the fact that I not yet had the opportunity to read of the Report of the Joint Committee, I would seek forgiveness if I repeat some of the things raised which will be okay anyway.
