Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I had indicated, for the same reasons I gave for Order No.15, the Chairman of the Committee is not in the House. I, therefore, seek your indulgence to defer this to a later time.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker and let me thank the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party for raising that issue. Yesterday I saw an engagement in the Senate as I was driving here in the afternoon. I was watching online, where they were complaining that we...
