    "content": "Similarly, we have adopted Sessional Paper No.6 of 2014 on the National Children Policy and Sessional Paper No.1 of 2015 on National Policy on Elimination of Child Labour. Upon resumption from the short recess, priority will be given to consideration of the Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the vetting of the nominee for the appointment of the Chairperson of the National Authority for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA). Other reports to be dealt with are that of investigation into wildlife poaching; investigation into the attack of Garissa University by the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security; the inquiry into procurement of the apron buses by Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) by the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing; and inquiry into the consignment of fertilisers by the Ministry of Agriculture being done by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. As we go on recess, I am sure we will have time to engage our constituency board members. We will also have time to look at the priorities in our constituencies and submit the project proposals for the 2016/2017 Financial Year. We should also submit proposals for the Kshs34 million meant for the development of education infrastructure in each constituency. That way, we shall be doing what we are supposed to do as we approach the 2017 General Election. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank Hon. Wario. We campaigned with him vigorously for a lady called “Fauzia”. I have no relation with Fauzia, but Sala Ward is just about 200 metres from my house in Garissa; it is across the river. I am sure that the people of Sala Ward, Tana River have seen the progress route which is to be used in bringing more women to Parliament and county assemblies. We want women of this country to go to the people and ask for votes. They should convince women and men voters. Days when legislative seats were given for free are long gone. I want to go on record and state that because I am the Leader of the Jubilee Coalition in the House. Our position is to respect democracy. We want more women in the Senate and the National Assembly, and the Government as a whole. That is why this Government has decided to appoint women to very key positions. You can talk about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and others."
