Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Minister replies to the issue on the lotion for Albinos, could he also state when he is going to remove duty on sunglasses used by the Albinos because they are also very important for their survival, especially because of the ultra-violet rays?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said there is a programme he calls Mulika Mwizi to assist in the reduction of vandalism of transformers. Who is involved in this programme? Is the provincial administration involved in this programme that the Assistant Minister is talking about?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has tried to answer the Question. Every time he stands in this House, he always talks about the good work that his officers do, but he does not want to face the fact that we have got a very big shortage of security personnel in this country, who are supposed to be suppressing the upsurge in crime, particularly in a place like Murangâa and Mathioya, where we have a police post which has been the way it is since the 1950s. He has refused totally to even upgrade some of those police posts ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. How can the Assistant Minister stand up and say that there is no shortage of personnel? We have been waiting for policemen to be posted to Kiria-ini for the last two years! We have got less than 10 officers to man a whole district!

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to continue threatening me that he will withdraw security officers from my place when I have been actually asking for more? He is trying to avoid questions in this House. Could he withdraw those threats? Could I also get some protection from this House, so that he does not continue threatening me and my people in Mathioya?

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Report of this Committee. First and foremost, may I report that I was a Member of that Committee. I wish to commend the team for the good work it performed. It was quite a difficult task to go round the country picking all these information. I note that there are very many committees in this country which have produced reports, but unfortunately after they have been presented before this House or the Government, very few of them are ever implemented. We request that the recommendations of this Committee be looked into ...

There is the programme of recruiting young people directly from the NYS into the military like the Navy and Army or the police. Because of corruption in this country, it is only a selected few or the ones who have people to take them on board who benefit. It would be good if everything is made open so that the youth we are talking about are recruited directly so that we can reduce the number of boys who loiter in the streets. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have the YEDF and the WEDF. Although these funds are supposed to ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to take the opportunity to congratulate the hon. Member who brought this Motion. It was actually long overdue because of the conditions that are in this country, especially on the price of essential goods.

You will remember that this country has suffered a lot from prices which have not been regulated for a long time. That is why we wish to say that the hon. Member who brought this Bill to the House did quite some good work, especially so on essential goods like food commodities, which most of our people in this country have not been able to afford. That is why you find that some time last year the country was almost going into chaos.

As we continue discussing this, we need to note that price changes normally come in because of the demand of a commodity. This is because of the demand and supply; this is especially so for maize. It was very nice early this year when we heard that the Ministry of Agriculture had moved to produce a lot of food within Hola. Unfortunately the same Government did not take measures to make sure that the food reached the food market. We would like the Government to have proper measures in place to make sure that any time we have food that ...
