"content": " I do not know, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, whether I need to repeat what I said or he can pick the Hansard and see what I have said, because I was pleading with him to listen. Since the Hansard is available, he can easily pick it from there so that I can secure my time. The other thing, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is the issue of NCA. When we say that they must inspect all construction sites — and Hon. Dr. Wilberforce Oundo presented the matter very well but I just want to add—we must be careful not to create opportunities for rent seeking. If we do that, we are going to collapse the systems such that Kenyans will not construct because NCA must be available to inspect and give authority. In that case, instead of motivating people to construct, we might be blocking them from constructing. As I conclude, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is something we call Rapid Results Initiative (RRI). This is where you track the results that you want to achieve as an economy in a rapid manner. When we were with Hon. Joseph Limo and we listened to a presentation from United Arab Emirates (UAE), one of the things they told us in that conference is that the reason they are doing very well in business, is because they have a system of tracking all the targets that they have committed to achieve. Every month there is a committee that sits to find out where they are in terms of their targets. Every three months we should have a target. We should know where we are doing well, where we are slow and where we are not doing anything. The Committee should ensure that every implementation is fast-tracked. Goals must be achieved within the shortest time possible. With those remarks, I support."
