Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Mine is just on a clarification. We are a House of rules. There is what is in the Order Paper that is there to bring order. So, Hon. Temporary Chairman, can you actually rule that we do something that is outside the Order Paper? Or...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) It is on Clause 25. Unless I do not know, I am moving it right away. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : It was wrongly numbered, you are right. It is deletion of items on imported ceramic sinks and floors. (Clause 4 as amended...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) May I be heard? The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : I thought he was talking about the ceramics. Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) No. In fact, I am there and I think it is good if the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party allows...

Allow me to first thank the Chairman and Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for working tirelessly to conduct public participation and...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) I do not know what the point of order is. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : You do not have to worry. There is a point of order. Just take your seat.

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Yes, it is a genuine one. This is a House of records and the Hon. Member who is contributing is a senior lawyer. I wish he could have seen the report that what we are giving to counties is around 24 per cent, which is...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, the senior Member, Hon. Melly, has come a bit late because we are through with debate. It is now time to put the Question and yet, he is quoting provisions on proposing the Question. He is completely out of order.

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to thank Hon. Kajwang’. I can see that the broad-based Government is now working and a Statement is being given by Hon. Kajwang’. That is in order. The Statement does not provide basic answers to the questions...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) I am now happy that Hon. Kajwang’ is seized of the magnitude of the matter. I take it up to ventilate further so that we can benefit from the expansion of that road. Hon. Temporary Speaker, please, indulge Hon. Bisau because we are both victims....

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Is it in order for Hon. Melly, a senior and ranking Member of this House, to indicate that he is proposing an amendment to a Mediated Version of the Bill? I think he is completely out of order. He had started by saying that he...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) I am trying to follow my senior in this House. He started by saying he is supporting the mediated Bill. Listening to his debate, he is actually 17th October 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 31 Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA)deviating to the negative. He needs to...
