Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. On the same token, let me thank and congratulate Hon. Vincent Kemosi for bringing the same. Education is a basic need for our children and for everybody in this country. Equally, food or nutrition is quite a basic need to each and every human being. Therefore, we should support the Motion so that as our children go to school, they have healthy bodies. They should be fed well so that, at least, they can concentrate and achieve what they went to learn in schools. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Noting that this House is a budget-making body in this great country of Kenya, we should put our foot down so that whatever we decide here is not changed in any way. Let me commend the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and his team for the work they have done as they burnt the midnight oil to come up with these proposals. Indeed, so far so good. Nobody can be perfect. Nobody can do everything to the best. That is why these ...

Kshs8.5 billion. Let me criticise the Press for saying that the NYS has been given only Kshs8 billion. The fact is that Kshs8 billion was reduced from their last budget. If we follow up on what has been put in this Budget, then we should, in fact, follow up on the way line ministries and State departments utilise the money we give them. Like in the last Parliament, when the Budget was read by the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, it was just for safe keeping.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for your indulgence. I was saying that the Budget was read and we passed it in the last Parliament. There were some figures which had been put in it. In my case, a figure of Kshs200 million was put for construction of a road in my constituency in Meru. The road leads to the Meru National Park. Because it was not factored in paper like this, the ministry absorbed that money elsewhere. When I made a follow up, we could not get the money anywhere because it was not on paper. The same figure ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Presidential Speech which was made before we went for the long recess. From the outset, I want to commend the President for the Speech, which was different in a big way from other speeches that he has been giving in this august House. He dwelt so much on peace and unity for our country. The President was fulfilling his constitutional requirement of addressing the House to give us highlights on issues of development and the direction in which the country is going as far as ...

to see the people who have been asked to step aside and are found culpable not returning to their offices. Let us walk the talk and have everybody involved jailed for others to learn a lesson. National security is a thorn in the flesh in this country especially when it comes to cattle rustling. This should also be taken seriously. Those who steal other people’s animals should be declared criminals and/or robbers. What hurts most is that when animals are stolen by these criminals, some of them are recovered and others are never recovered yet nobody is prosecuted. The Ministry ...
