I did not see that as a point of order, but you can proceed.

Order! Order! Mrs. Kihara, it seems that you have chosen to respond to Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko's point of order.

The most honourable thing for you to do is to withdraw. You cannot name certain hon. Members and leave the issue at that. Your time is not over yet and you have to finish that business.
