Hon. Speaker, this is a House of records. I know, Hon. Wanga, we are supposed to meet somewhere, God willing. We do not know who will go through.

I want to substantiate, why should you force me to withdraw? Our Standing Orders allow that.

Absolutely, I will go and get the record. I am ready for the consequences. We do not want our colleagues to pretend yet they contributed to the failure of the passage of the Bill on the Floor of this House.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I listened carefully when the Chairman presented the Report. One of the issues he raised was that the fire emanated from outside. Even if it came from outside, did they probe further to understand the reasons? They needed to probe further to know what the motivation was. Was it by design or was it by mistake? We need to know. It does not mean that because the fire emanated from outside, that was the end of their mandate. He talked of destruction of 4,000 square kilometres where wildlife is. I agree with him. When there ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. First and foremost, I want to thank the Special Funds Accounts Committee for the good work they have done. In the entire country, the only Fund that is felt at the lowest possible level is actually the NG-CDF. It has transformed lives. Hon. Speaker, it has brought hope where there was no hope.

Hon. Speaker, it is disturbing. Some people who want to contest for parliamentary seats just look for somebody to blackmail. If there are any audit queries, the person who is accountable and responsible is the fund manager. Recently, we saw on television the Lari MP and Malindi MP being taken to court. I have been wondering where the connection is. It is important for the Auditor-General and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to understand the law. The CDF Act was amended and is now the NG-CDF where an MP has no responsibility when it comes to expenditure. They only ...

In my constituency, I have seen performance improve in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). Even the enrolment has gone up. You find a class of one stream but upon purchase of a school bus, you find the enrolment moves to two streams and this is a day school. So, project approval must be based on the bottom-up approached. I am requesting the Special Funds Committee to talk to those who approve. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

We have a big problem with fund managers. They are lazy. They do not report to office daily. Most payments are delaying, and there is rivalry between the Funds Accounts Managers and the District Accountants. They should look for a way of harmonising because they are critical for the success of the operation of this Fund. Thank you. I support.
