Mr. Speaker, Sir, the purpose was as stated, namely, to provide facilities for small informal businesses to work from. This year, we are moving on to equip these facilities including the one that the Member has mentioned. We have Kshs200 million to do so.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member really in order to obviously seek to mislead the House? I am looking at the Report which is under debate here and in one of its schedules it shows the interviewees or people who had been interviewed by the body that he refers to and the person that he is discussing, in fact, is listed as candidate number two having the second highest score.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are many jokes in society directed at lawyers and it is because of the fraternity’s ability to use very fine English to essentially defend or perpetrate injustice.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not know that there are some sacred cows; there are some people whose opinion must go unchallenged. I am rising to support a position. I am rising to debate this position; to seek to persuade my friends if they care to listen about justice because they seem to want to suggest to the entire universe that they are the only ones who know the truth. That cannot possibly be. There are many others in the world who have the truth. We all are entitled to our opinions and I am quite certain you ...
