Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on this extremely important Bill. I wish to support the Hon. Member from Turkana for bringing this timely amendment. These incidences that we have experienced in this country are not new and they are many. We have had such incidences over the last 20 years but we never learn from them.

If you look at our curriculum today, it does not address the issue of training our students. The emergency preparedness is not there and this has caused a lot of injuries and fatalities which could have been prevented if this curriculum could have addressed the issue of training our students at the lower levels. The other day we had this school along Ngong Road which collapsed and caused deaths to many young students who had a bright future ahead of them. Due to poor workmanship, we ended up with such a serious disaster which caused deaths to many students.

This Bill is important for us Hon. Members because the Ministry of Education carried out an audit of all the schools in this country. They prepared reports and recommendations on what needs to be done in all of our learning institutions, but due to lack of resources, most of these recommendations are still gathering dust in various shelves in our schools. It is now time for the Ministry of Education to allocate funds to various schools to ensure these recommendations are actualised. Today if you visit any of our schools, be they day or boarding schools, they lack basic firefighting ...

various teaching colleges like, Shanzu and Kagumo who have not been trained or drilled on how to fight a fire or evacuate in case of an emergency in a school. When you look at the dormitories in various boarding schools in this country, they are so pathetic. They are designed as a confined space with only one entrance yet, around 200 students sleep there and have no escape routes. When you look at our vehicles and especially the buses, the back window is clearly indicated as an emergency door. So, in case of an accident and because there are only ...

Asante sana Mhe. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii nichangie Mswada huu muhimu. Mengi yamezungumzwa na viongozi Wabunge kuhusu suala hili, ambalo ni muhimu sana. Limewaumiza Wabunge wa zamani, wale waliotoa huduma katika Bunge hili. Walihudumia Wakenya katika nyanja tofauti tofauti. Kama tujuavyo, Mbunge akishatoka katika Bunge hili kwa njia moja au nyingine, ni vigumu kuajiriwa katika shirika lolote. Hata hivyo, tunashukuru korti zetu kwa kupitisha, juzi, ile sheria kwamba unaruhusiwa kuajiriwa au kupata kazi katika kamisheni ambazo ziko katika Jamuhuri ya Kenya, hata kama mtu ni Mbunge. Hilo limesaidia kwa kiwango kikubwa. Hata hivyo, jambo muhimu ni kwamba sisi ndio ...

Hesabu imefanywa hapa. Tumeambiwa Wabunge wa zamani ni kama 200. Ikiwa kila Mbunge atapewa shilingi 100,000 kwa mwezi, ni shilingi 20,000,000 kwa mwaka mmoja. Hizi ni pesa kidogo sana tukiangalia hali ya jinamizi la corruption ambalo linaendelea katika Jamuhuri ya Kenya. Pesa nyingi sana zimeibwa; pesa nyingi sana zinaliwa kila siku. Ikiwa pesa hizi zitatengwa kuwahudumia Wabunge wa zamani, zitawasaidia katika njia moja au nyingine. Tumekuwa na Wabunge wengi ambao wamepitia pale ninakotoka katika eneo la Kisauni. Wengi wamehudumu muhula mmoja. Wengi wako kule nyanjani. Kuna Mbunge ambaye ilifikia wakati hawezi kulipa kodi yake ya mwezi na ikawa ni aibu ...

I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order regarding a Question I asked three or four months ago before the House went for recess regarding non-payment of suppliers of goods to various prisons within Kisauni Constituency. The matter was referred to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government, but to date I have not received any response in regard to that matter.
