On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to stand here and whip ethnic hatred? The people of Teso live in Bungoma District which is my district. There is no tyranny going on there at all. Is the hon. Member in order to inflame the feelings of Kenyans on ethnic lines when we, as leaders, are supposed to bring people together and encourage Kenyans to live anywhere and everywhere they wish to live?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. You have just put the Question without first proposing it. The Attorney-General simply moved an amendment to an amendment but there was no proposal to the question. We support it but we want the procedure to be right. Even if we accept, you have to propose a Question.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hate to interrupt my former assistant. I hear him talking in innuendos and talking of a certain community or region. We all come from certain communities and regions. He should say what he means and mean what he says instead of casting innuendos and all that.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Seconder of the Motion, in his entire tenor of debate, is opposing the Motion. Could he declare, clearly, if he is supporting the Motion or if he is opposing it? His arguments are definitely anti the spirit and tenor of the Motion.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is important that, as we debate this Motion, we be factual. Mr. Ayieko is the Managing Director of the Kenya Power and Lighting Company up to today. He has 3840 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 12, 2007 not been replaced by any Njoroge. The only thing that there is, is that there are whitemen from Canada, who are also there, managing the company but Mr. Ayieko is today in Washington DC with the Permanent Secretary (PS), Ministry of Energy. He is the Managing Director of the Kenya Power and Lighting Company!

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I listened very carefully to Mr. Ojode moving the Motion. If you have read the African Peer Review Mechanism Report on Kenya and especially the Peer Review Committee chaired by Mrs. Graca Machel, currently Mrs. Mandela, one of the areas that Kenya scored poorly is the management of our ethnic diversity. That was singled out by her. She recommended that a better way of managing our ethnic diversity be looked at. Even sitting here, you can see ethnic chauvinism at play on the Floor of this House.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just for the record, I want to make it clear that Kenya is not surrounded by any hostile neighbours, contrary to what Capt. Nakitare has said.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are getting mixed up on procedure. Mr. Muturi has moved an amendment. We have not disposed it off. But we are arguing as if we are dealing with both his amendment and Ms. Ndung'u's amendment. Yet, when you put the question, we are not going to vote on them together. We need to dispose of Mr. Muturi's amendment and then move on to the one by Ms. Ndung'u.
