It is on the same point of Kenya Airways. About three weeks ago, I raised the issue in this House through a supplement question and the Minister said that they were not retrenching Kenyans to bring in foreigners. It is true that when they lay off Kenyans, the same company recruits foreigners to come and take over our jobs. This issue should be dealt with a lot of urgency, because very many people are actually

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to also thank the Minister for giving me one minute to contribute to this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate him for the good work he has done. I just want to raise a few points. The issue of accidents in the country mainly is because of indiscipline of drivers. We have got the issue of drunkenness, especially at night. I would propose that rather than waiting until morning for somebody to be taken to court to be fined, we should have a 24-hour court ...

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I congratulate the Minister for giving us information on these projects or industrial centers. We have a center which was put up in some place called Mathioya around Wanjohi area. About seven months ago, the information we were given by his office, and the Ministry of Public Works, was that the center was complete and that they would equip it with some equipment that we did not know. Could the Minister confirm whether that center is complete, what type of equipment they will be bringing to this center and when they will do so?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the reduction of the publication period from 14 days to one day; but I think this is also another time when we want to ask whether there is a deliberate move to delay some of these things because they are brought the last minute, yet some of them are very critical to this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the timetable even of the Registrar of Political Parties, parties were required to submit their nomination rules by 4th September which was yesterday. They are supposed to be in line with ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I also take the opportunity to appreciate my friend, Mr. Chachu, for bringing this Bill. In this country, we have been talking about drought for many years, and it looks like there is nothing that happens. I have been thinking of places like Dubai, which are in a desert but in 365 days, they never get to the situation where they talk about

drought. The only thing we can conclude is that there must be something very wrong with our planning, as a country. Those people do not get rain, but they never lack water.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Minister in order to continue misleading this House about the Budget issue? He should come out very clearly and cleanly to indicate what steps he is going to take to make sure that the teachers go back to class. Before I sit down, is he also in order to order policemen to go and beat teachers in Murang’a? Some of them are already in hospital and one of them has a broken leg.
