Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would just like to clarify and give assurance to this House that under the rules of interpretation, it is presumed that when you have two Acts of Parliament that are in conflict, the one that was enacted by Parliament last supersedes the one that was enacted by Parliament previously. So, this is actually correct.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Asbury is a famous author who deals with law of evidence. He says that if you have two Acts of Parliament that conflict, the one that was enacted last supersedes the one before it. So, what basically we are saying is that as far as training and registration of engineers is concerned, if there is any other Act that is in conflict with what we have passed, this one takes preference.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. I just want your guidance. Hon. Mbadi has reduced the budget of the Ministry of State for Defence by about Kshs5 billion, but he has not told us where this money is going. So, could he clarify to us where it is going after being taken from the Vote of the Ministry of State for Defence?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to strongly oppose that amendment. This was a negotiated Appropriations Bill. Once something is negotiated and agreed, you must be a gentleman enough to accept what has been negotiated. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, secondly, teachers are important, and the military is important. Now, why is a whole Member putting us in a position, where he is making a decision that this is more important than the other? The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has given his undertaking that whatever negotiations that are agreed upon with the teachers, KNUT and TSC ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I am very happy to support this Motion because what the projects are supposed to do is to increase hydro and geothermal power. That is the right way to go. We have a lot of waterfalls in this country. There are a lot of rivers with waterfalls. We should start having hydro power stations on all the waterfalls on our rivers. Geothermal power generation is not only in Naivasha but is in other places. I think we should also extract steam, so that we can start putting up more power ...

What we are saying is that we need to go for environmentally friendly power and that is the solar energy. God has given us sun from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and we have got power. So, let us have more solar power stations. Let the Mr. Minister bring another request for a loan to construct a power station. Let the Mr. Minister bring another request for a loan to construct wind power stations. We have wind in many places; even at Kona Baridi in Ngong. As the place is called, there is a lot of wind. Let the Minister ...
