Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, including the original Question!

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I maintain that this is a different Question from the one that was submitted by the hon. Member for Molo. It is not the real Question that he filed two weeks ago. If you look at the HANSARD properly, he said then--- To shorten the whole story, he said that there is a senior politician who is inciting the people of Mau Narok. The HANSARD will show you that I said: Mr. Kiuna should actually name the senior politician who is inciting the people in Mau Narok. That is the first ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement made by the Member for Molo is very malicious. I want him to produce the name of the senior politician he thinks incited the people of Mau Narok. We have lived with these people for years and there has never been a problem until we had the problem of the IDPs. If these people from Molo are not co-operating with the Assistant Minister and everybody else to make peace, then I am sorry. Let him tell us the name of the person he is referring to.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to support this Bill very strongly. I think the fact that this country promulgated the new Constitution and passed it by 67 per cent was really a great thing for Kenya. This country voted two or three times and we were not able to get the Constitution. Let us talk about the Lancaster House Constitution. What happened? After the Lancaster House, an agreement was reached at by all communities, including the White community, KANU and KADU, but when they came back in 1964, it did not ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am talking about areas like North Eastern Province, Maasailand, Samburu and all those other areas. Even the successive African governments were not serious to uplift those people as it were. If it comes to really appointing people, we should consider those areas so that they can get representation in some of those commissions. At least, two or three out of the nine posts of commissioners should go to North Eastern Province and those other areas. The Government knows where they are. I think they should have representation. I am saying that two or three ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you look at this Constitution, it really entrenches the freedoms and rights of the citizens of this country. The Bill of Rights, for example, is the longest, most elaborate and incisive. It deals with the rights of the people. I think the administrators in this country should be careful because they still think that they are the bosses. They still order the wananchi around. I would like to make sure that they are considered in some of those things when it comes to appointing the members of the Commission.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to say that we should respect the recommendations of the Ligale Report. It is important that we respect them. Probably, the new Commission could, in one way or the other, make amendments here and there. But the body of the Ligale Commission Report should be adopted in this new thing. That way, we will start very difficult controversies again. I remember that, and I do not need to quote it really seriously, at the beginning, there was a big debate in this country as to whether we should support population for ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I say again, we need co-operation between the people and the implementers. I think we must be able to tell the country what we are doing. I do not know whether the information coming up is enough to relay the information of what we are doing here to the people, so that they are part of the exercise. It is important that the Ministry of Information and Communications really starts to do something - and not really deal with Safaricom and Airtel or whatever it is. The Ministry is so much dealing with them. ...

I have said this because I want us to become a great nation. This Constitution is going to make us a great nation. It is going to give us respect around the international community but we must be there. We must not allow meddlers and some mad men, wherever they come from, to really make this Constitution flop again.
