Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you were presiding on that day, when we talked about mechanization of tea farms. I call upon the sponsor of the Bill to put an amendment during Third Reading, because we need to agree to what extent we can mechanize tea farms. The more we continue mechanizing tea farms, the more we continue losing labour for the young people. After an incident in Brooke in Kericho, many young people were taken to court after incidences of burning houses. Is that a solution to such? We need to agree. Should we mechanize 40 per cent and leave ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I pray that you add me one more minute, so that I finish only on the Cess Fund. We should give Cess Fund to communities and factories so that they can maintain roads.

Can I have the microphone? I know the weekend is near. The Cess money should be given to factories and form local communities that will be in charge of roads, so that it becomes easy to maintain those roads. What we are seeing in Nandi is very unfortunate. We want the money from tea to remain with tea factories and local communities around those tea factories, so that they maintain their roads.

Mr Speaker, Sir, I need your indulgence under Standing Order No.1; I know that you have moved to Statements under Standing Order No.56(1)(b). However, I realize that there was a Statement on the issue of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), which is a serious national matter. The killing of some young men in my neighbouring county is also critical. I need your guidance and indulgence on what point you can allow us to add a few clarifications on those Statements even if it is just for a few minutes. I thank you and I stand guided.
