Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding the issue raised by Mr. Mbadi, again it falls squarely within my request to the Chair that what President Museveni is alleged to have said amounts to his conduct. In any event, those statements were said to have been quoted out of context.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your direction. I was also told that there was a request for a Ministerial Statement regarding the American Ambassador to Kenya. I want to plead the protection of Standing Order No.79 (1). He is an ambassador of a friendly country and we cannot, therefore, discuss his conduct in this House without a Substantive Motion.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just to assist my good learned friend and brother, I think the issues he is raising are better directed to the Ministry of Information and Communications in terms of GTV and the Ministry of Trade in terms of general trade policy and the risks that come with trade. So, perhaps he should direct the questions to these Ministries so that we do not take a lot of time moving to and fro and disclaimers coming up.
