Gen Zs, do not be scared, we have people behind you. I support the Statements."

"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I only have two comments to make about the performance of athletics. It is not very good; it is disappointing. You know how passionate I have been about athletics. You are aware that Nandi County is one of the greatest source of champions. We pride ourselves on one of the most extraordinary performers like Conseslus Kipruto, Ezekiel Kemboi and Janet Jepkosgei. You know the beauty that we used to feel in those days. The disappointment coming from Paris is not very good for the country. I agree with the Senator who said that we need talent development. Madam Temporary Speaker, you could see the difference in the performance. I agree with the Majority Leader who said science has caught up with talent. When you see the short race trainers from the United States of America (USA) and Jamaica, the land of reggae and legends, you can see there is talent development. As a country, we must now look for talent development. In conclusion, I thank one of my best schools in Nandi called Cheptil Secondary School. Today afternoon, they beat and thrashed Namwela Secondary School in the just concluded Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA). Cheptil retained their title in volleyball. Although Kwanthanze beat Kesogon, Highway Secondary School beat the rest. We are proud of Cheptil from Nandi County in Mosop sub-county. Madam Temporary Speaker, if you watched what was happening at KSSSA in Kisii, there is a lot of raw talent. I agree with Sen. Asige that we need to mind them. Let us do reforms in the sports sector. I have hope that with the interventions that we will put in the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, we can do reforms on football, volleyball, athletics, paralympics et cetera once and for all. Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for that indulgence. I wish Eliud Kipchoge the best as he goes for the golden glory. We remember Kelvin Kiptum, who unfortunately perished. We would have hoped that he be here in Paris 2024. However, we hope Eliud Kipchoge will bring it home."

We will be moving away from the Questions and Statements because we have finalized the comments and the debate on that item.

"content": "when they are recess, on the allocation of scholarships and bursaries by county governments. I beg to give notice of the following Motion- THAT AWARE THAT, the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution distributes functions and powers between the National and County Governments with paragraph 16 of Part 1 of the Fourth Schedule providing that the national Government shall be responsible for university and tertiary education institutions, other institutions of research and higher learning and primary schools, secondary schools and special education institutions; FURTHER AWARE THAT, paragraph 9 of Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution confers to county governments the responsibility to provide pre-primary education and other facilities such as village polytechnics, homecraft centres and childcare facilities; CONCERNED THAT notwithstanding the provisions of the aforementioned Schedule of the Constitution, the quality of pre-primary education remains low as a result of poor infrastructure with majority of the counties paying teachers in such facilities below the gazetted minimum wage; FURTHER CONCERNED THAT, the Report by the Office of the Controller of Budget on County Governments Budget Implementation Review for the first six months of Financial Year 2023/2024 indicate that allocation to the Education Sector in all the 47 counties range between 0.7 per cent to 10.3 per cent of their total budgets, and that a majority of the county governments spend a great percentage of the education sector budgets on provision of scholarships and bursaries to students in secondary and tertiary institutions, with some counties allocating up to 84 per cent of their education budgets for such scholarships at the expense of the core mandate of providing quality preprimary education and improving infrastructure in the village polytechnics and homecraft centres; NOW THEREFORE, THE SENATE RESOLVES THAT – (1) the County Governments stop funding national Government functions such as providing scholarships to students in secondary and tertiary institutions, and increase funding to pre-primary education, village polytechnics and homecraft centres for improvement of infrastructure and payment of better wages to teachers in such facilities; (2) the Controller of Budget (CoB) ensures compliance and not approve monies to county governments for carrying out functions of the national Government; and, (3) the Auditor-General reports on compliance status on funding of national Government functions by the county governments in the annual reports. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
