Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we will be relooking into the membership of Committees after the Cabinet nominees have been vetted, we can use that opportunity to fix those issues that the distinguished Senator was talking about. I hope that is going to be very soon. I propose that for purposes of us making progress as a House and starting our work, we pass this Motion but consider the issues that have been raised by Sen. Omogeni. We need quick interventions for replacement of those who have been nominated as Cabinet Secretaries (CSs). With those few remarks, I support the ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have heard you. I also had an opportunity to look at the HANSARD. The two issues that were raised were on the comment on the Kshs2 billion, where I stated that “we were told”. We all remember the former President Uhuru Kenyatta alluded to that. I also said that beneficiaries of corruption---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also said “beneficiaries of corruption.” I did not say the other side is corrupt.

All the same, pursuant to Standing Order No.105(2), I was prepared to substantiate my allegations on 6th Thursday, 2022, last week because the Standing Orders clearly states ‘not later than the next sitting day’. I made the allegations on Wednesday and the next day was Thursday. I was prepared with a bunch of documents which I was ready to table, including the report of the Auditor- General for Financial Year 2016/2017 and 2017/2018. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because you have already made a ruling, I do not have that benefit unless you extend time for me to come and substantiate ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was willing to do that on Thursday last week. I came prepared, but today was an ambush. If I had been informed by the Clerk on time, I would have come with the necessary documents to table in this House and justify my allegation. With your indulgence, if you give me more time, I will do exactly that. However, in the absence of that, the next option would be to---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have communications from relevant sources, including a statement made by the former head of the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC), Mr. Mumo Matemu, who clearly stated that this country was losing that amount of money. The former President Uhuru Kenyatta also said that. This is corroborated by Government reports from the Auditor-General. If you consider it necessary and extend time for me, I will be able to substantiate this matter on the Floor. Corruption is a disease in this country. It is unfair for a Member having risen on this point of order in ...
