Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I sent my sons out and I encourage Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo to do the same. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I listened to President Obama after he signed the Iran deal. He sat in front of hundreds of media personalities asking them if they had any more questions. Finally, he walked away having answered all the questions. That means that he is a very courageous President. He does not hesitate to call media personalities to ask whatever they want him to address. He explained what he had signed with Iran. We, in Kenya, were almost giving up ...

As the Mover said, for a long time, we had only the National Assembly. After the promulgation of the new Constitution, we now have the Senate and the National Assembly.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to inquire about Statement (e) on the Order Paper. I requested for it sometime in April, but it is still pending. Could the Chair give some direction on it because I have waited for it for too long? I saw the Chairman walk out but I do not know how long he will take.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to continue moving this Motion. I had already read out the Motion. If you go back a little on the history of the country before the new Constitution, the country was divided into provinces, districts and down to divisions.
