Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the same prevailing condition that delayed us; that is the lack of designers and materials. I am assuring the House that we now have enough materials and the designers are already doing their work. From next month up to December, all those projects will be completed.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not true that nothing has been done. Most of the hon. Members will confess that they can already see activities taking place in their constituencies. Secondly, appropriate measures and actions have been taken to ensure that these projects will be completed.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. 734 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 26, 2006 Would this House be in order to take drastic and tough measures, which is okay because I have also been offended by the Press, and forget our brothers outside there who cannot come here and defend themselves? Our brothers have also been suffering in courts of law because of the same media, yet they are not vindicated? Those groups are really suffering out there. What action will this House take to vindicate our brothers who cannot come here and defend themselves?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have our priests and farmers who have been offended by the media. We have been accused several times of being selfish. So, it is only fair that as we take action, the House also considers, on behalf of other Kenyans, what can be done to vindicate them.

We are also ensuring that purchases are made in good time. We ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Presidential Speech. It is very clear that the President was challenging us to do what Kenyans sent us here to do. Kenyans elected us to perform a particular duty of enacting legislations. It is true that we have failed to perform that duty and nobody can claim that we have performed it rightly. Twenty-five Bills were brought before this House and we did not have any time for them. We did not prioritise them and, instead, we have started to accuse each other. We have also decided to take politics at ...
