Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to strongly oppose the proposed Motion for the following three good reasons. One, since you proposed the Question of the main Motion, only two people have contributed, and Mr. Jirongo is not one of them. Therefore, whatever else is being said is hearsay.

Secondly, to me, this amounts to gender bashing. Every person must carry his or her cross. This person, whose name we have not even been told, should not have her sins attributed to the husband.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is very clear that Standing Order No.81 refers to personal interest. We must make a distinction between personal interest and an office. Today, the Attorney-General is Mr. Amos Wako. Tomorrow, it might be Ms. Milly Odhiambo. So, we must make a distinction between personal interest and the official interest. Here, it is not Mr. Amos Wako as a person that the Bill is referring to, but rather, to the Attorney-General of the Sovereign Republic of Kenya. It could be him today and another person tomorrow. Mr. Amos Wako ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Attorney-General on this very important Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. I am saying this because it contains some very good provisions.
