Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also support the deletion of the clause because with its deletion, members of the Fourth Estate will be free to access information from this House. That is their work.

Yes. I support the word “Kenyans” to replace the word “youth” because there is unemployment in Kenya where somebody at the age of 42, 43 and even 45 has not had an opportunity to work. If we leave it at youth, it will be very hard for that person to get a job; if we open it to all Kenyans, it will be appropriate. I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Committee for the good work that you have done. I also want to add my voice that actually the backbone of this country is agriculture. If agriculture is going to get what it deserves, our country is going to have food and the people will be healthy and strong. We will then know where we are heading to as a country that is working, well fed and well taken care of in terms of fertilizers and other inputs. I also wanted to add on the issue of the administration officers that we ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to thank Hon. Dawood for the good work he has done. This Motion will make us think and look at the direction we are taking our country as far as health issues are concerned.

A healthy nation is a working nation. My brother, Hon. Dawood, has talked about having ICU and blood transfusion units in every constituency. Our population is approaching the 44 million mark. Having only referral hospitals equipped with ICU facilities is alarming. With 44 million people in Kenya, we should expect more patients because of unavoidable circumstances. Therefore, we need to add ICU facilities in order to serve our people more effectively. We now have 47 counties. I neighbour Kisii County which has five beds, as my brother said, for blood transfusion. That means the hospital does not have ICU beds. ...

We need to create a culture of donating blood where men donate after every three months and women after four months. This is a good chance and it will make us healthy as we move along. If the facilities are far from us, it will be hard for us, as communities, to contribute to the preparedness of this country as far as emergencies are concerned.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other thing I want to add, as we go on with the Motion, is that we need to support it with a lot of amendments because we need to prevent our population from going to ICU. If they receive the right medication at the right time, maybe becoming seriously ill can be prevented. I ask that the Level 4 hospitals in every constituency be equipped with all the necessary facilities to ensure that the population that is there is comfortable with the medication given. When women go to give birth, maternity wards should be ready ...

Therefore, with amendments, we support the Bill. We should ensure that it trickles down to the dispensaries, where people go for treatment. We are now talking about counties. We should ensure that roads are constructed because at times people die on the way to hospital because of the poor state of roads. Sometimes patients get to hospitals but they are told that a certain facility is not there and, therefore, they need to be referred to, say Nyamira. Getting there is not easy because there is no road. So, our people’s lives get wasted. We need to be prepared in ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the Kenya National Examinations Council (Amendment) Bill, 2015. At the same time, I would like to thank hon. Wangwe for the good thoughts that he has brought forward to ensure that our children, mostly the ones who come from poor families, access the education that they try to look for eight years as well as those who get to Form One and sit for examination at the end of Fourth Form. My opinion on this is that, as we try to abolish the examination fee in Standard ...
