Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill because if passed, it will improve the cost of living and the cost of doing business. Currently, one of the greatest challenges this economy has is lack of competitiveness. Competitiveness could be improved if we improved the cost of fuel. The rate of inflation is also related to the cost of fuel. For that reason, I would like the Minister to look at this issue in broad terms. He needs to come up with a policy that we can embrace. The second point we need to think about is the cost ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to take this opportunity to thank Mr. G.G. Kariuki for bringing this Motion. Parliament did its work by setting up several institutions to fight corruption.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to mislead this House? The proposed Committee is intended for very specific functions.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, may I take this opportunity to really commend you because you guided this House very ably and professionally when we were discussing the amendments, and the ruling you made could not have been better. I hope that the Minister for Finance will take note that those emoluments that are due to the Ministers and Assistant Ministers on account of their being hon. Members, specifically their basic salaries, which are their entitlements as hon. Members, should remain under the Vote of the National Assembly when the Supplementary Appropriation Bill is prepared. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is the second time a document is being referred to, which seems to contain very fundamental information. Would I be in order to ask that, that document referred to by Mr. Ojode before and now by Prof. Anyang'- Nyong'o be tabled before the House?
