Secondly, we are aware of the issue of corruption on our highways. We have the weighbridges at Athi River and Mariakani. Police officers are posted there and, within a month, they become millionaires at the expense of Kenyans. Therefore, issues of road carnage and corruption will no longer be there. I believe that the railway line will bring numerous benefits to the people living along it. Those people are getting compensated for the land that is being taken away from them for the purpose of constructing the railway line. Even towns will sprout out along the railway line.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am just seeking a clarification from you on the matter that has been raised by Hon. Mutava Musyimi regarding the audit of the Constitution.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I requested for the intervention at the point when hon. Junet was trying to argue with you, as the Chair. You rightfully told him to either withdraw or you would punish him.

On matters of international companies, I know that you know they can be registered in Kenya.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the proposal of the Departmental Committee. Where we have professional bodies, their fees and remunerations are well captured in their specific bodies. So, I support that proposal.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when you propose five years, does that not mean that you are locking out the youth of this country?

This goes against the Constitution of this country because it would be biased against them.
