to a point where we reflect and say; I do not know how difficult it is, Sen. M. Kajwang’. We have about less than ten counties that have got fishing as the mainstay economic activity in this Republic.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not so difficult for it to be proposed that from the ten of them, the governors or nominees from those counties can set up a selection panel and establish an individual who has the right competence, skills, determination, and focus to drive this particular institution so that we stop this business. It is a shame that with millions of youths that are jobless, chances are that most of the fish that we consume in this city is not from the lakeside; it is not from Lake Naivasha, but it comes thousands of miles all ...

Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will allow you, Sen. M. Kajwang’, because I understand what you are trying to do with this particular piece of legislation. But I still want to challenge you to reflect deeply on whether this particular system of nominating chairpersons and board members to parastatals is good for this country. Perhaps, we can sit down together. I know that Sen. Olekina has been passionate about distribution of jobs across the country to reflect the diversity of our nation. Let us see if we can amend the Public Service Commission Act and give it all the ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Like the rest of my colleagues, I appreciate the good work that has been done by our colleague, Sen. Anuar in bringing to fore something that is dear to his heart as the Senator for Lamu. The rest of our colleagues have continued to confirm that to all of us because this is a shared struggle in almost all our counties.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, health is a devolved function. On many occasions, when we get a chance to address ourselves to issues pertaining how the citizens that we represent in this House are treated in our health centres, be it from the local dispensaries to level 4 hospitals, it is an extremely sad and disturbing story. As a House, we cannot continue to lament. I have said times without number that we are the only people who do not take ourselves seriously. You recall that a few months ago when we visited a hospital in Kitui, more than 200 people were ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will help this House if Sen. (Dr.) Ali is more specific with his request. What kind of support do they require from the leadership of this House? If he was to go to that length it will help us help their Committee become more effective if, as per his own admission, he feels there is support that they need.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. On behalf of the people of Kericho County, I join my colleagues in celebrating a life well lived. Kenya is 56 years old. The late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi was at the heart of presidency for 36 years. He served as a Vice President for 12 years and 24 years as a President. That was no mean feat.

The people of Kericho remember the late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi for many great things that he did for us, and the many things that his administration established for our people; from hospitals, schools, good roads to the many industries. On behalf of the people of Kericho County, I take this opportunity to celebrate the late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, and to be reminded with great sadness that I do this. Looking at the events of the last one week, I am not sure that President Moi knew how much people loved him. I am not sure he knew that ...
