Omboko Milemba

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As we acknowledge the presence and the achievements of Ms. Akida, who is in the House, I want to indicate that she is already an inspiration to the young girls. Football sport for girls in this country is not very old. It was introduced around 1993-1995....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Waziri is the most valuable player on the football field for Bunge FC as a striker. Congratulations!

Very well. I am not sure that question was dealing with schools or Toi market, but I think there is a lot of juiciness on the matter affecting schools. One of the Members could bring a substantive Motion or petition on the issue of schools. There is one more Statement.

Very well. Is the Member for Konoin in the House?

Hon. Samuel Atandi and Hon. Samuel Arama are not in the House, and they had each sought a statement from you. I, therefore, propose that you table those Statements for record purposes. (Hon.

What is your point of order, Hon. Tindi?

Order, Hon. Tindi. Take your place. You being the Vice-Chairperson of this Committee and now the Acting Chairperson… (Hon. (Dr) John K. Mutunga consulted loudly) Order, Hon. (Dr) Mutunga. You will have a chance to reply. Therefore, take your cool and do not be in a hurry. Let me further...
