I oppose the Chair’s amendment. It is very unequitable and should not be entertained. It goes and flies on the face of why NGCDF was created. I oppose the amendment.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I agree with Hon. Duale to the extent that you need to inquire as to whether we can amend the product of the mother Motion that established the Select Committee. We need to consider what the mandate of that Motion was. In my understanding, part of the reason as to why hon. Members are having issues with the Report is that the Select Committee might have gone outside the mandate given to them by the initial Motion. That perhaps is one of the things you need to consider.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the adoption of this Report. I will start by telling by good friend, Hon. Mbadi, that the word ‘impunity’ simply means someone engaging in atrocious crimes knowing very well that they will not be punished.

In this country we have elevated corruption to a level of its own. It looks very nice and well for one to be corrupt, make money, live very well and travel around the country. It is like those of us who work hard are lesser human beings. The youth in this country are suffering a lot. In the rural village I come from, Kshs1, 000 makes a lot of difference in a family. It means that a family will have tomatoes, fish and ugali on their table. In some cases, it means life and death.

the specifics of the action that ought to be taken against the people who were in-charge of YEDF. I commend the PIC because they have come up with a well done Report. I would like to speak not to the persons who allegedly engaged in these atrocious crimes, but to what in my view are institutional issues which the PIC recommended. Firstly, the PIC recommends that the National Treasury should constitute a multi-agency team composed of various persons to look at the performance of various projects undertaken by the YEDF since its inception. This recommendation tells me that probably there ...
