The Centre for Parliamentary Studies and Training (CPST) is another brilliant facility of the Institution. It is for that reason that we got granted by the entire East African Community the honour of hosting the East African Parliamentary Institute (EAPI), a great facility that we have begun building in Karen. It will host a training school for all the seven Parliaments of the East African Community (EAC) members.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the anchor trainer will be the CPST. There are many courses offered in that centre but I do not see Members of Parliament (MP) going there for training. They offer training on diplomacy, a skill that we need when we travel. Parliamentary diplomacy is the way to go nowadays.

If Sen. Osotsi goes to Gabon or Congo, he should not only enjoy music but he should have proper skills to engage properly as an MP.

Sen. Osotsi is my friend. I am being kind when I say that there are many opportunities at the CPST. They have a course on financial management. That course will give you skills to ensure that in the unfortunate events you do not get re-elected in 2027, you will not come back begging along the corridors. That is the most unfortunate thing that I see happen to MPs. That training is available at CPST.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you speak to MPs, you will realise that some of them imagine that there is nothing that they do not know. They only get to realize that things can be difficult when they do not get re-elected back to Parliament. They do not get themselves into such a situation due to lack of training. There are many things that MPs can learn from that institution. Let us make use of that particular resource. Chairs of Committees should liaise with good trainers. I have seen MPs being trained by people who can barely speak English just because ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this chance to join the rest of our colleagues to congratulate Sen. Murkomen on his nomination and approval by the National Assembly. He now awaits to take the oath of office and begin his stint as the CS for Roads and Transport. He has reminded us on many occasions that he is now in charge of land, sea and air. He is a very powerful man in this country. He is my good friend. I always refer to him as the son of Reverend Johanna Kanda, to remind him of ...

The point I was making is that, as a House, we demanded to sit in the County Roads, Transport and Public Works Committee as Senators. This is because we cannot oversight the operation of the county governments, if the situation is such that roads are done by the county governments while the national Government continues to put money on the same. Therefore, it made lots of sense. I look forward to a time when, either by policy proposition or through legislative proposal to this House, the Senate will accede to that request and accept Senators to be part and parcel ...
