We are also creating a society where we cannot trust one another. We are supposed to represent. In such a situation, the decision that comes out is what we must go by. In that case, when we get too much noise that the board has not served them well, it means it is the board that has failed to address the issues. As much as this amendment will cure that we are, on the other hand, creating a situation where people can sleep on their jobs and instead of punishing them, we enlarge the boards. In this scenario, everybody is ...

Two, I have looked at the amendments and I appreciate them. I want to ask the board to have some timelines in terms of when they give information to the applicants who have not qualified to get the loans. For sure, the Board has always taken it for granted. There are some students who never get those loans. Therefore, they leave the students in a quagmire. The students are left in a bad situation. They do not know where to go. If the students get information in good time that they have not been successful in getting the loans, maybe ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The issues that hon. Members are raising are not new to the Cabinet Secretary of Education. What pains me most is that we have policies and guidelines about how much is supposed to be paid in terms of fees. However, the Cabinet Secretary has failed to crack the whip.

It is important that the House takes responsibility, particularly our Committee on Education, Research and Technology, to even summon the Cabinet Secretary to give us reasons why he has failed to organise his principals to bring the school fees down and affordable. The taxpayers’ money has been used through the Mwiria Commission to give us a report and see how best this can be implemented. The same has been taken to the shelves and nothing is happening and yet, we have somebody to take care of that report. So, it is important that the Cabinet Secretary takes responsibility. For the ...

Hon. Chairlady, I want to support the amendment from the word go because on many occasions when minerals are found in certain areas, you get people masquerading as having bought that land in advance. Therefore, that denies the community any opportunity to gain from that position. Therefore, I want to support hon. Mwaita for bringing that amendment and I want that amendment to go through so that we take care of the interests of the community where minerals are found.

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with the hon. Member that the statement has delayed. But yesterday, we were with the Cabinet Secretary for Labour, Social Security and Services. We told him that those statements are urgently required and we agreed that by next week we will get all the statements and then we will be able to give advice.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. Just as I mentioned earlier, we had a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary yesterday and we also raised the concern of statements not getting to us in good time. We agreed with the Cabinet Secretary that we will get the replies to statements sought very soon. Therefore, this will be next week. I think that we will address all the statements that have delayed by next week. That was the commitment from the Cabinet Secretary as well.
