On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. My point of order is very specific. I admire the way the hon. Minister has explained his mandate and the manner in which our services are helping us manage our security. However, is it in order for the Economic Division to be downgraded at a time when Kenya is facing many challenges from South Africa and other countries in terms of her competitiveness in the region? The decision to downgrade the Economic Division of this Service is the most unfortunate decision. Would I be in order, therefore, to ask that ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I think I am on the Floor! I think Mr. Maore is asking you to consider his plea. But even as you consider this plea, there might have been an oversight on exactly the reason why Mr. Muite withdrew the amendment.

The amendment which Mr. Muite moved, on behalf of the Committee, had a proviso. What is appearing ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, first of all, I want to point that there is nothing inconsistent with the procedure or the steps that hon.

It is a multi-billion shilling business. It is carried out by very youthful young men. In the majority of cases, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with the spirit of the Attorney- General. The mood of the House is good, and we are progressing well.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me a chance to contribute to this debate in support of the Motion. In our country, we are, of course, lucky because we have the capacity to enjoy all the various forms of transport; air, road, rail and marine transport. However, the thing which this House should, really, worry about and communicate to the Ministry is inadequate development 3702 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 5, 2007 funding of our transportation facilities. Whichever way you look at it, the budget of this Ministry is dismal. It is totally inadequate, yet we are priding ourselves ...
