Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think my colleague was in deep slumber because I mentioned the Emsea Road that goes from Keiyo Constituency to Tot in Marakwet. He is talking about Kacheliba and Baringo, which is totally out of order. He is fleeing because he knows he is misleading the House. I hope you will refund me the minute that the Hon. Member wasted. We were told that the economy has expanded. We want to be told how many jobs were created. Our youths are currently unemployed. There is virtually no movement that has taken place to employ the unemployed. ...

The issue of political instability was manmade. This is an individual who could not accept the results of an election. He was beaten in an election. He targeted the establishment of a handshake so that he could get into Government through the backdoor, which is wrong. We should never allow or encourage that kind of thing. We should respect the results of an election. The President regretted that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) died. He should let it die a natural death. A good number of those issues can be achieved through administration and through Parliament. We can increase the ...

No, Chairlady, I am comfortable.

I only wanted to add some meat to that. It is very important to be specific, because we are dealing with individuals. Their comfort in premises that they have paid for is paramount. I support the amendment.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is a good amendment because if you do not keep these registers, some funny guys can come asking for properties of the deceased and it can go to the wrong hands, and sometimes some of these properties are very expensive. Later on, the right people now show up and, of course, the landlord will be liable. It is a very important amendment.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also support the six months’ period. We cannot have two wrongs making a right. The hon. Member for Funyula says he sits in the Committee on Delegated Legislation, and he has witnessed wrongs happening. We cannot sit back and watch them continue happening. Systems should be put in place for this matter to be implemented in six months. There is no reason why it cannot be. I believe the Chairperson of the Committee deliberated on this at length. We are encouraging people to meet the deadlines. We cannot discourage that by increasing timelines. That is ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to inform the Member that even cars that were used by our grandmothers are not the cars that are operational now. We want to redesign those wheelbarrows. The ODM uses orange and Wiper uses umbrella. Are we talking about the umbrellas here?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank you for giving me this chance. I wish to support the empowerment of KIRDI. We lost direction when we stopped or reduced funding research in this country. For example, a university research professor is paid pathetically. If you compare a professor with a cabinet assistant secretary (CAS) who is technically a messenger of the cabinet secretary, you wonder who is who. Here we want to do research, and there is an individual being glorified for technically doing nothing. We want to avoid issues where we are importing products that we can have ...

I want to commend the President of Kenya for saying “Buy Kenya, Build Kenya” although he falls short halfway because he does not see this through. As we talk now, furniture continues to be imported from China, Malaysia and all over the world. Let me also equally borrow a leaf from the President who sometimes wears clothes from our Rivatex Factory. This is a good example we should emulate. Why are we importing clothing instead of empowering the cotton industry and farmers? We have no business doing so. Why are we importing shoes when we have hides and skins in ...
