Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious concern raised by Sen. Wetangula, on the issues of wastage in Government and how public resources are being spent. As we raise concerns about how police are being deployed and how the national Government is conducting this very important exercise, one is the issue of children being intimidated. Secondly, it is the issue of resources that we are being told are scarce, but the same is not being matched in how Government is conducting its exercises. Having said that, I hope our colleagues who sit in the Committee on Education ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important issue that is being raised by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. This morning, the leadership of Football Kenya Federation (FKF) was before one of the Committtees of the National Assembly.

This is where they permitted that up to 60 per cent of this Fund can be used to fund universal healthcare. It is on that vote that actually those payments that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. was referring to were paid. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Motion. This is a sad day for Kenya. The National Assembly opened floodgates of local interest rates and the Senate wants to auction Kenyans to international loans sharks. Such situations will make many Kenyans to ask God the reason as to why they were born in Kenya when they get to Heaven. It is extremely difficult to see what is happening in our country. It is also difficult to see that we, the leaders who are supposed to save them, agree with the people who are causing their suffering. ...
