We cannot allow our young children to be part of contestation.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As I rise to second, I commend the Chair, Senator Mohamed Abbas, for steering this Committee.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are having problems with deputy governors. You remember the Deputy Governor of Siaya was brought here.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the former Governor of Uasin Gishu, who is the current Senator of the same county used to have a deputy governor. I hope that when he will be contributing, Sen. Orwoba, by your directive will be present in the House. She should know that a deputy governor should remain so because he is just a principal assistant. What I am saying is a statement of fact.
