Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am also a Member of the Committee on Roads and Transportation and the chairperson here is my friend. I am extremely disappointed that that statement has actually been made on this Floor. One of the things that is very frustrating for us, as the Minority side is that we agreed in this House that when someone is on a point of order, they will be heard in silence.

When Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale stands up on the Floor of this House and says that people who are supporters of Azimio or ODM have raided a meeting of a Government agency and stolen food, without any substantiation, you must substantiate.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You have already ruled, allow me to speak. I want to tell Kenyans that anytime you hear there is a Government agency sitting somewhere, drinking tea and mandazi, that is your money. Go and join them. That is what we want to see. Every time we speak about addressing the question of inequity in this country, people do not want to listen.
