    "content": "and commit another offense, and no one refers to what they had done earlier. Therefore, I support that we keep a register of all sexual offenders and, moving forward, keep a register of all other offenses, including capital, corruption and money laundering. On the Universities Act, there has been some discrimination and unfairness to students who want to join public universities privately as self-sponsored and not Government sponsored. I support a central placement board that caters to all students irrespective of one's background, whether poor or rich, or which university they want to join, so that there is fairness to all the students all over the country. Hon. Temporary Speaker, on the issue of public holidays, we have many holidays in Kenya. Sometimes, they even pass without one's knowledge. We only realize when the Cabinet Secretary gazettes, or we see national celebrations headed by State officials. I support the amendment that duplicate public holidays appearing in October, that is, the former Moi Day, which was later converted to Utamaduni Day, be deleted as a public holiday in Kenya. I also support the amendment to remove Value Added Tax (VAT) on ethanol. As you realise, there is high taxation in the country, and Kenyans are over-burdened. I fully support any removal of VAT on some items that touch on the common mwananchi . Therefore, these amendments are progressive and perpetual to the law and will make Kenya a better place to live. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, once again. The Chairperson of the Committee is my friend and neighbour. I will fully support him anytime, any day, or even midnight."
