I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to thank every Member who has contributed and for the unanimous support that you have given to the proposed nominees for the various positions. I would also like to thank the President for being very balanced. This country is represented all the way from Busia to the Indian Ocean in terms of where those Members come from. When you see Sophia Lepuchirit coming from the other side of Kenya, indeed, this country is represented. I would like to agree with Hon. Rasso that if this team does not ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand pursuant to Standing Order No.83. As you know, I have a lot of respect for the Leader of the Majority Party as he moves. It is not my intention at all to cut him short. It is also important that, as the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, I be given an opportunity.

I have taken the initiative to speak to the EACC people. It ...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 83 as read together with Standing Order No.106 on the question of relevance. My very good friend Hon.

So, for him to engage this House when he knew he should have presented that to any of the nominees--- One of the things we do as lawyers is this: He had that information. Under the art of cross-examination, he was supposed to put it to the nominee. Now, he cannot put it to us. None of ...
