Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you very much. I stand guided except that the beauty of joyriding is that a Member can enquire on any matter. This is the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry, and I have taken the liberty because the Cabinet is here. This matter...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I just want a little clarification. While I agree with the Motion, I have tried to do the computation of the time allocated. The Mover will have one hour, the Seconder will have 10 minutes, and the Leaders of the...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) In that case, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I propose that five minutes is too short for us. We have a lot to say. I can assure you. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Very well.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Far from it, Hon. Speaker!

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) It is a genuine concern. But I am happy by that guidance, except that in the Constitution and in the Standing Orders, there is no clear threshold on that matter of public participation. So, I will stand guided by that ruling.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I appreciate your guidance, I seek slightly more guidance on the matter of public participation. The threshold for public participation is not very clear.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, the matter the Chairperson is responding to is serious as it involves an elected member. The consultations are too high for us to hear what the Chair is saying.
