Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. Hon. Njagagua is talking about the pension scheme for the county. I want to agree with him that the counties or the employees of the counties are Kenyans, they need to be supported. As we support them, we need to remember there are so many people who have worked for this country diligently and efficiently but they are really suffering. We have so many teachers outside there. Those who retired in 1997 were supposed to be paid their pension but to date, they have not ...

Therefore, we should all support this Bill. Hon. Njagagua, this is very important. If we have a similar Bill, at the end of the day, we should sit down and see how we should marry them so they can assist the people of this country. We are not just talking about pension, but how to properly take care of the people of Kenya.

Everybody is talking about NEMA. It has a responsibility. They are supposed to protect Kenyans by not only focussing on what is happening at Athi River where LDKL is based, but also in other places in the country. Pollution occurs everywhere in the country. If you walk for a kilometre from the city centre, you will realise that the environment is in a pathetic situation yet we pay NEMA. They are sleeping on their job. They need to wake up and do something. We have heard LDKL say that they pay a lot of taxes to the Government and employ ...

What they have said is very true. What we witnessed in those missions is very sad. Most of the missions abroad have very few resources. They cannot operate as expected. They cannot even move because the vehicles they are using are very old. Even those used by the ambassadors do not befit their status and so we ought to do something about it.

Most of these missions are understaffed. The Chairman has already alluded to that. I have heard Hon. Mbarire suggest that we have a sitting together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Treasury so that we can see how we are going to support our missions abroad. The buildings they are living in are in pathetic situations. They need renovations, but they cannot deliver when they are not given sufficient funds. How do they give services in those countries?

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also realised that we pay so much money in rent for our staff. Kenyans are paying so much to sustain our missions abroad and we need to have houses so that we can save. When you go to some countries such as Geneva, African countries such as Uganda have their houses there. But after 50 years of Independence, Kenya does not own houses and yet rent in those countries is quite expensive. We need to save so that we can build our economy. We need to save so that we can grow our economy and ...
