Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the deletion of Clause 8 because it might be unattainable. Getting the statistics and the funds to do the same might be unattainable.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me commend the Committee for the good work and Members for approving the amendments, in particular for decentralising education and taking it to sub-counties. That will be more effective because the grassroots is important as far as education is concerned.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I thank Hon. Chachu Ganya for bringing this Motion, especially noting that most parts of our country are drought-prone. We need to have a management board to mitigate drought and take caution.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, let me thank Hon. Mwaura for bringing this Motion which is very vital and critical at this point in time. Most disabled people have challenges which, maybe, we could be overlooking in one way or the other. When we do things which we need to do like putting up buildings, roads and even vehicles, most of the people who do them are ignorant of these issues and they overlook them because they are physically fit. Each and every human being is a candidate ...

Like the previous speaker has said, a meeting can be put on the fourth floor and there are no lifts. This becomes difficult for participants who had come all the way to attend the meeting. That is a big challenge. In future we should invest in that. The architects and ministries concerned with housing and construction of buildings should see to it that each and every building constructed is accessible to all. These include those who are on wheelchairs, crutches and even those who are blind so that they can get to that place easily. I request that we amend ...
