Thank you so much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. It is a very important Bill. Going by the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons, I can cite that the first paragraph has the objective of this Bill which is to establish business registration, serve as a State corporation under the general supervision of the Attorney- General in order to improve efficiency. I want to underline the words "efficiency" and "effectiveness." The problem in the registration of companies and those other organizations in the AG’s office has been bureaucracy and corruption. Bureaucracy gives birth to corruption. Over ...

register a company; or rather the distance between Nairobi and Samburu is very far to the extent that they are unable to come and register business here--- It is becoming costly and people are neglecting the idea of doing business. I will recommend and also urge the supporters of the Bill to ensure that the area of research is carried out effectively. This is so that we can borrow best practices from our neighbours in terms of registration. With those few remarks, I support this Bill.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Mover of the Motion hon. Waluke, from Sirisia. I support the Motion and also say that in order for us to retain the police in the service for 10 years, something has to be done.

Policemen train for about nine to 15 months. For a policeman to be really trained and well conversant with the job, it takes another almost three years. That is the time you can now rate whether he or she should be promoted to the next rank to become a corporal. That is the time he or she matures. That takes a lot of money and resources. The Government puts a lot of resources to train them. To get another policeman within that time will also be very rigorous and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ...

expensive. In my view, retaining them for 10 years is really important even for our country and even for themselves. That is because in the Retirement Benefits Act, you cannot earn pension unless you have worked for 10 years. So, it is good for policemen to remain in service for 10 years for the sake of their children. Human beings work because of the family. If you run away from the Service just after one, two or three years, then you are also doing a lot of disservice to your children. What can they inherit? We are not permanently there ...

This is a very timely Motion. We have to take some precautions because in any human resource organisation or company, you must have a policy to attract and retain staff. Even police service must have that organisation to make sure it attracts the best and retains those good people in the service. What should they do? They have to look at the salary. At the moment, police officers earn meagre salaries compared to the work they do. When we are deep asleep or working, those are the people who are outside there looking after our welfare and protecting our property ...

policemen staying in one grade for more than 20 years just because they have no “tall” relatives in the hierarchy of the police. We need to look into that so that, as we talk about the 10-year period of service, we really need to do a lot of reforms in the police. This House should urge the Kenya Police Service to continue with reforms so that we can have very good officers who can serve us for a minimum of 10 years with a clean record and in a very efficient way. I am sure they will also be happy ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to support this amendment because policies are derived from manifestos. When we sell manifestos to our people, they accept and elect a Government or a party. If the Auditor-General questions policies of that particular Government, it means he is against that Government. We need to support it so that we can implement it.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support the Motion on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) which is a very important means of communication and transport. As Kenyans, successive Governments failed because the railway we have now was developed by the British Government. It is one of the most outdated ones. We have not increased anything since that time. Instead, we have closed so many lines that were connecting our towns. I can for sure say that the railway that was developed by the British was connecting Nairobi to Nyahururu and Samburu. It was ...
