Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the start, I want to laud the Chairperson, Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, for this wonderful Bill. This is very important. Going into the future as a country and as countries, we need to refocus our energy into building a serious workforce. We have concentrated on blue and more white collar jobs as opposed to having people who can work on non-practical jobs. Nowadays there is more emphasis on theoretical learning and practice as being espoused by the universities. However, also we need to refocus because it is predicted in this and last decade and going ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is worth to note that in July 2020, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics indicated that 1.7 million Kenyans had lost their livelihoods.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. I do not know why Sen. Wambua is getting agitated. I am concluding. The Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights were arguing - I remember being invited when the Attorney-General appeared - that it is a public matter. I was saying that as we go for recess, we must become cognizant of the fact that the appointments have been made and several judges have been left out. I hope the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights will intervene so that we are told whether these six that ...
