Well, we will be considering both, Hon. Midiwo. We will be considering the Presidential reservations. The Committee has made proposals for amendments and we will be handling them step by step. Of course, we will be guided by the rules and if the Committee amendments are to be taken, we would have to have a two-thirds majority because it will have the effect of negating the Presidential recommendations.

Hon. Benjamin Langat, you realise that I have given you some time, but I have realised that you are speaking to a constituency other than what we have here. This is how we are going to proceed. Hon. Members cannot say that they cannot raise the two-thirds majority. If you want, you can. So, this is the way we are going to proceed.

I do not want Members to be standing. I will give a few Members a chance to speak to this. So, let us not be unnecessarily excited. You will have an opportunity to speak.

Hon. Members, just relax. You will get an opportunity to contribute. I am giving a chance to Hon. Chepkong’a. Let us have Members expressing themselves before we proceed on the matter.
