The people talking against food security and food insecurity that is causing hunger are the ones who want the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) not to investigate the matter. The ones talking here about issues regarding dams are the ones who should tell us why they are hanging around here while people are dying in Turkana, West Pokot and Kajiado counties. In the backyard of the Deputy President, we have a lot of maize but the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) is not buying it. Farmers demonstrated even in your constituency.

I would like to contribute first on the issue regarding the amendments to the Dairy Industry Act.

This amendment will now allow goat and camel milk to be officially ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also contribute to the Motion on the resolution to publish specified individual Members’ Bills.

This is a different Motion. Thank you for the opportunity. Let the noisemaker continue making noise as we do our work. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to contribute on the Sports (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.25 of 2018). I have read this Bill entirely and I am satisfied with the contents. However, I only have one issue with it.

“(2) The Board of Trustee may place or deposit with such a bank or banks as it may determine any monies held in the account established under Section 29 that are immediately required for the purpose of administration of the Fund.” I read a sinister motive in this area, you remember very well there was a directive from the National Treasury that any surplus funds from any Government institution should be deposited at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). Why should the board of trustee have same powers in diverting Government money to private banks?
