Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment. Curriculum development is very critical and dynamic depending on the environment that you operate in. However, I would have wished to see representation of the industry. If we had a member of the Private Sector Alliance…. The industry has accused academia of developing a curriculum which is totally out of touch when it comes to the industry. This is the time to have the industry represented. When you go to other jurisdictions, like the US, Japan and China, the academia must be linked to the industry. That is ...

I have looked at (f), but there is ambiguity when it comes to (f)(2) when you talk of private sector.

So, we need to have some clarity on this word “private”. That is why we are saying there is a lot of ambiguity and when it comes to nominations, it brings a challenge. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support. It is known that when it comes to miscellaneous amendments, we are supposed to amend things which are insignificant. For instance, we amend for purposes of bringing consistency and spell- checking. Of late, we have realised we are having very significant amendments coming in under the guise of miscellaneous amendments. As we support this, next time we need to change our Standing Orders and look at the issue of amendments and see whether they qualify to be miscellaneous or something significant which has to be subjected to public participation.

Last time, we had an amendment on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) concerning the appointment of the Chief Justice (CJ) and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) went to court.

I agree with the Chair that these are significant amendments and, they do not quantify to be miscellaneous. We must change this in future because we are passing some funny amendments in the guise of being miscellaneous and yet, they are so significant that they are working against the import of the main statute.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to seek your guidance pertaining to Hon. Sakaja’s amendment. Whatever you have ruled is true and procedural. The import of that amendment was to help the youth. Is it possible to defer this matter so that the procedure can be followed? Of course, because it is on the Floor of the House, we can discuss. This is because this amendment is very critical, particularly when it comes to the issue of unemployment of the youth. It is my humble request.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think this matter has been resolved. We are just repeating ourselves and time is not on our side. In line with our Standing Orders, may I call upon the Mover to reply so that we can move on?
