Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to ride on that request of the Senate Minority Leader to the extent of including Nyandarua County. After the 2007/2008 Post-Election Violence (PEV), I think Nyandarua County had the largest number of IDPs and majority of them were living in people’s home. So, they were categorized as integrated IDPs. The disaster was ---

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue is that when we, the leaders, ask why IDPs are not being compensated. We are always told that the Government is looking at the plight of IDPs in the camps and then come to the integrated ones. So, to be specific, inclusion of the integrated IDPs in Nyandarua County, if not the whole country, is very crucial.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I join you in welcoming the Members back. Although we have done quite well in passing various Bills and Motions, the effect of that is not being felt.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion and commend the President for nominating these very highly qualified officers who have a lot of experience. I want to particularly mention Mr. Wilson Nyakera Irungu who has got a unique engineering course rather than the traditional course we normally have. He has a Bachelor of Science, Management Science and Engineering and Financial Analysis and Decision Engineering degrees. He is one of the youngest PSs at 33 years. I hope that he will do the job.

At the onset of Independence, we had young Permanent Secretaries like the late John Michuki, Matiba and Ndegwa and they did a very commendable job. I hope he will reengineer Kenya Airways to make profits.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We seem not to have that Order Paper that you are referring to.
