Even as I support allocation of money to this department, you will realise that Kshs2.9 billion is a lot of money. I got concerned when, during lunch hour, as I was watching news I saw the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) confirming to Kenyans that this department is falling short of expectations in terms of investigations. As we move forward, even as we approve these resources, it is important that this department does their work properly otherwise, they are going to be a very likely candidate for dissolution by this House. Thank you.

I will be very brief. I support this allocation but with what is happening in the country on the issue of corruption, we are going to get more whistle blowers and we need to allocate more money to this institution so that all whistle blowers are properly protected. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also support and join my colleague in saying that even though we are allocating a billion plus to this commission, we normally say: Where there is smoke there is fire. Kenyans are complaining that they are seeing some smoke in this commission and they need to be serious with their work.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also support this allocation and agree with my colleagues that Hon. Cheptumo and his Committee need to save this country. Actually, if they do not save this country we are likely to get into problems and more so, on the issue of electoral boundaries delimitation. This is critical and we need to start in time so that we are not late and fail to meet the timelines.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also support this allocation. What I want to say is that even as they think about the third generation formula, let them also focus more on finalisation of the marginalisation policy because that is the policy which is going to inform the next phase of resource allocation.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, some of these things go on record and it is important that we say them. This Commission is getting new commissioners and the only thing I want to encourage the new commissioners to do is to look at their terms of reference very clearly and make sure that they do their work comprehensively rather than just focussing on a few items like Parliament and other institutions. They have the wider mandate of managing the public wage.

So, are we debating with the amendment or how are we moving forward procedurally? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I will clarify, but I also want to make a contribution. What the Chair has said is; we are moving Kshs100 million from NACADA to TVET. While I fully support the issue of technical institutions, it is important we look at where we are getting this money from. This country has a serious drug abuse problem. When we say we are taking money from areas like NACADA to TVET, it is important…. The other thing is this - and I should have said this earlier. We have 290 constituencies in this country and the ...
