Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank the Cabinet Secretary for coming here today with a very strong support team and answering questions efficiently. I got a call from Marsabit. Somebody told me that since the CS is here today, I must ask this question. There is a sewer line and a water supply being built in Marsabit Town.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. The election period of 1992 and 1997 was chaotic and resulted in issues like property destruction in the country. At that time, we formed the Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG), chaired by Hon. Jillo Jarso Falana, MP for Saku, my MP. I am proud of him. I thank the Committee of 1997. Their report created democratisation in this country. This is why we have to add a few things to what was done in the 1997. The IPPG package made the playing field considerably more level. I thank the members of the National ...

On the IEBC, we have issues with our boundaries in several counties. This issue should be resolved and is one of the reasons I support this report. On the issue of the audit of the 2022 Presidential election, I would like to say since 2007, there have been issues. If you want to audit the 2022 Presidential election issue now, I think we will be wasting time. I am still determining what we will gain by auditing the election. This needs to be better thought out. This audit report can only bring out something that has been seen before. On ...

On the issue of the Office of the Prime Minister, this is just a waste of resources and money. There is no point of having them there. On the replacement of the IEBC commissioners, that is a good idea because we want new IEBC commissioners. We do not want the ones that aree nominated by the President, so that everybody would be happy. Finally, the problem we have is not the cost of living. The biggest problem we have is corruption. I have seen today that the Government wants to propose a budget of Kshs4 trillion. If we reduce corruption ...
