Government Affirmative Action Fund or the constituency Members, as long as our girls get the sanitary towels, it is fine. Unlike Hon. Duale who will not discuss sanitary towels, I am a father to three beautiful girls and I will discuss them. In fact, my first daughter is 12 years old now and I am in talks with them on those things. This is not the only amendment. I think it is important that the House pronounces itself on this matter because this is not the only matter. As I said, there were amendments from the Ministry of Interior and ...

Hon. Kangogo is making very loud consultations. It was an extra Kshs210 million that had been proposed by the Labour Committee as an additional allocation to the Commission. They have since reviewed that and shared the money in the ratio of Kshs60 million additional going to the Commission and Kshs150 million going to our women representatives under NGAAF.

Therefore, it is not money that is being taken away from the Gender Commission wholly. There is still a huge allocation of Kshs494 million still being left under NGEC, making a small increment to our women representatives.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, even as I support this very huge allocation, you will realise that a figure of about Kshs253 billion is almost 15 per cent of the revenues that we raised in the 2018/2019 Financial Year. It is, probably, about 12 per cent of what is projected to be raised in the next financial year. I want to challenge the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research that, for a number of years since 2013, we have allocated money to the Digital Learning Programme both under the Ministry of Education and Research and the Ministry of ...

We need, as a country, to be able to use technology and innovation because, as much as we all cry now for more teachers, it will not be sustainable in the long run to continue recruiting teachers to educate millions of children in our schools. Therefore, I want to challenge the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research to ensure that we explore ways ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if you allow me, I just wanted to make a correction because Hon. Washiali is asking and from what I have heard, a number of Hon. Members are confusing this vote with that of the National Police Service (NPS). This is for the National Police Service Commission. With that, it is also good for me to point out that the NPS Vote is under the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government.

There was an attempt earlier this year to create an independent vote for the Inspector- General of Police for the NPS. As a country, that is the right way to move forward. There is no reason why Correctional Services, which is a very small department with prison warders, have even a Principal Secretary (PS) in charge of prisons and yet, there are very few prison officers compared to the NPS. For us to secure the independence that is complete and total for the police and the Inspector-General of the Police is either to create a State Department and a Principal ...
