    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to give notices of the following Motions:- THAT, in view of the Government policy to provide quality education for all children in Kenya; conscious that the foundation for quality education starts with the early childhood education at pre-primary school; aware that the Government trains, recruits and provides teaching staff for all public primary, secondary and post-secondary institutions; and noting with appreciation the implementation of free primary education since 2003 and tuition-free secondary education from January, 2008; this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament to amend the Education Act (Cap.211), Laws of Kenya, to provide for training, recruitment and provision of early childhood education teaching staff in all public pre-primary and secondary schools in Kenya. ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMME THAT, in view of the Government's goals and policy to create 500,000 jobs annually; aware of the various measures and reforms being instituted to address the challenges arising from the fact that a huge portion of our population is youthful, educated, jobless and restless; appreciating that the economy has been turned round onto a positive growth path; noting that good governance measures, so far undertaken, have plugged leakages in revenue collection and public expenditures; recognising the great need for additional manpower in various economic sectors to spur accelerated socio-economic development; further aware that the private sector 1220 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 9, 2007 has started posting increasing profits since 2003; and conscious of the contribution of the private sector in work creation and social responsibility; this House urges the Government to establish a special employment programme to be known as the New Deal in which a specific budgetary allocation would be made so as to employ at least 250,000 people in the public sector annually and persuade the private sector to employ a similar number annually with a certain minimum number to be employed from each constituency in the country. A BILL TO AMEND THE KTDA ACT THAT, in view of the Government's prime goal and policy to spur the economy to accelerate its goals to catch up with the Asian economic tigers; conscious that agriculture is the engine of the country's economic development; noting with appreciation that the tea sub-sector has sustained itself as well as the economy through a very long recessionary period without any direct Government investment; cognisant that small-scale tea production has by far surpassed the existing factories' processing capacity with resultant enormous loss and wastage of green leave; bearing in mind that the cost of factory construction is sky-high and beyond the ability of the small-scale farmer; and commending the Government's demonstrated commitment to reaffirm, boost, rehabilitate, revive, and or expand various important sectors of the economy; this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament to amend the KTDA Act to provide for urgent direct Government investment in the rehabilitation, expansion or construction of tea factories to adequately process tea produced by small-scale farmer throughout the country"
