Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is not denying that he has interest. Why are you questioning on my behalf?

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will refer to him as the Chairman, Rev. Mutava Musyimi. On the question that I raised â and it was so serious - on the issue of nepotism, the Committee went ahead and called the Registrar, Gachengo, to give evidence on whether she knew some of those suppliers. Suppliers like Timetrax, G.L. Williams, Cart Michaels and others. The names that were given - and that was the most serious allegation that I had raised--- Despite Gachengo giving the names of the owners of those companies - Broad Vision and the others - ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have gone through these documents. This Committee avoided to ask the Minister about her relationship with those individuals and companies. It is very clear and it is in this document that they avoided to ask her so that she could either deny or accept and also, they did not have enough money or time to go to Kitui and verify the information. You can know who are the owners of these companies by getting information on who was paid, when he was paid and the identity card. That is the easiest thing that they ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said from the beginning, what I said was reported verbatim and what the Minister and others said was not reported. It is not in this document.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so that my time is not wasted, I withdraw on that one. The question on those companies was not addressed, despite the magnitude and the way it is stated clearly in the Public Ethics Act and also in the Constitution about the question of integrity. Regarding the question of conflict of interest, this Committee did not also find it necessary to go to the roots of this matter and that all the allegations that I made had a motive. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say the following. You can run but you ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, I withdraw and apologize. What I was trying to say is that this Parliament should make a decision knowing that the pharaoh in this case is not the final judge. Lastly, Kenyans are watching to see how Members vote and lobbying is properly done. I oppose the Report.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to join other hon. Members in congratulating His Excellency the President and support his wish list of legislations to be enacted by this House. One thing which is very important for all of us, which all Members of Parliament are aware of, is that we must finish the load of legislation that is ahead of us. We have the new Constitution. We have to do the Constitution implementation framework. We must pass all the Bills as required by the Constitution. Most importantly, I am glad to note that in the next three months, we ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should legislate to the effect that we empower our youth, not through giving them fish but by showing them how to fish. Why do I say this? Already you have not established any firm institution where the youth can go and borrow soft loans and pay at an interest rate that they can afford. Today, if you ask a young man to go to Equity Bank, Kenya Commercial Bank, Barclays Bank or Standard Bank and they are supposed to pay 15 per cent interest and there is no moratorium period, then we will be still ...
