Hon. Peter Kaluma (Homa Bay Town, ODM) I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I play position three in Bunge FC. Hon. Omboko Milemba plays in the midfield. If I were to require the Members of Bunge Football Club to stand up, you would discover they are all from the western side...

Hon. Peter Kaluma (Homa Bay Town, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Peter Kaluma (Homa Bay Town, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a procedural issue. You permitted the Chairperson of the Select Committee on NG-CDF to lay the Paper on the Motion, which he later moved. He moved it without laying the Paper. He said, “I lay”, then he sat...
