Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this Bill. I support the Bill because it is progressive. I congratulate Hon. Njagagua for coming up with it. He is very active in the House and in the constituency. I saw him encouraging his people the other day to protect his constituency. He is facing the risk of his constituency being scrapped if they do not get the numbers. It is good that you are dealing with that and the issue of pension within Parliament. Although I support the Bill, we will need to ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have perused this Bill and I reject the issue of insurance. It takes time to process the transfer of documents. As you process them, you require an insurance cover. So, when it says it must be the registered owner only, that is limiting and it is not welcome. Therefore, I reject this amendment. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I do wish to support the amendment by the Chair because I believe this Registrar can be made too powerful and so he requires some sort of control by having consultation. I believe having the Cabinet Secretary in that process is for the better. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to seek your guidance on Questions which require answers from independent commissions. I have drafted some and they have been hanging in offices since July. I am made to understand that Questions which are brought to the House are only those ones which require answers from the Cabinet Secretaries. How are we going to oversee the independent commissions if Questions cannot be raised and be answered by them on this Floor? That is the guidance I am trying to seek from you.

Commission (SRC) and also the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). I thought once we draft them and pass them to come to your office, they would reach you. I am surprised they never reached you. Maybe we may not personally deliver it to you but it is drafted in these offices up here, especially Room 8. I do believe once we have drafted a Question in Room 8, it comes to your office automatically. Since July, they have been hanging in that room. Maybe you will provide administrative guidance if they should be published on the Order Paper or they should ...

Thank you. I have been trying to get your attention. I support the amendment proposed by Hon. Jude Njomo. This is well intended to take care of SMEs. Our current big problem is unemployment and we need to help the small businesses to pick up. So, by bringing the issue of at least 10 per cent of lending to go to that direction, I believe that is the right thing to do. The issue which has been raised by the Leader of the Minority Party that it requires a stand-alone is a small amendment. In fact, it is a one ...
