Mr. Speaker, Sir, having listened to the response by the Assistant Minister, his is a reckless reply. As hon. Members of this House, I think one of our undertakings is to protect the Kenyan flag. My question is: If anybody shows disrespect in any manner to the Kenyan flag, what action would the Government take? This answer has dealt with only some area of insecurity and left out the one for the flag. In his reply, he says that if anybody shows disrespect in speech, manner or writing to the flag, there is a penalty. So, is he is saying ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, the complaint was from the officers who were manning that station. If the Office of the President that is supposed to be the guardian and to ensure that anybody who interferes with the Kenyan flag saw that there was no cause on that one, I rest my case.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, and I remember that this Question was on the Order Paper last week and the Minister did not give a satisfactory answer and the Speaker ruled that this Question be referred to the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee for them to give a report on the same. I understand that the chairman has sought for some extension for the Question to be brought next week when the Committee will be ready with their report.

But the way the answer is crafted, it brings in some confusion in that the Government holds 23 per cent of the shares in KQ. The KQ who were issuing this rights issue had to appoint their own transaction advisors. On taking up the rights issue, the Government had to go through a broker. This broker must be chosen competitively by the Government. What he has not said is that, that broker either has been paid or will be paid about Kshs100 million. So, there is no way the Government can go through a broker silently yet they knew the ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I asked in my question whether the two activities are separate. The Assistant Minister admitted and said that the lead advisory did not include submission of the PAL. This means there were two activities. One activity belongs to the KQ and the other one belongs to the shareholder. So, is he in order to say that the transaction advisor is also the one to carry out the other role?
