Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of county judges, we have now created the Judiciary Fund. We expect the Minister to put pressure on the Acting Chief Justice and the Chief Justice who will be appointed to immediately appoint the 47 county judges and then they can work on structures. They should start first just like the District Commissioners (DCs) were appointed and the structures came later. We need these judges at home. We no longer want to come to Nairobi, particularly the people of Tana County. We are through with Nairobi. We do not want to travel ...

Bw. Naibu wa Spika, ukiangalia orodha hii, hasa yale majimbo sita ya Mkoa wa Pwani, utagundua kwamba Jimbo la Mombasa lina shule moja inayoitwa Shimo La Tewa. Kule Kwale kuna Shule ya Upili ya Kwale. Katika jimbo la Kilifi hakuna shule ya mkoa wala ya kitaifa. Jimbo la Taita Taveta vile vile halina shule ya mkoa wala ya kitaifa. Hali ni hiyo hiyo katika majimbo ya Tana River na Lamu. Serikali zilizotangulia za Rais mwanzilishi wa taifa aliyetuacha, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, na Rais mstaafu, Daniel arap Moi; na Serikali ya sasa ya Rais Mwai Kibaki na Waziri Mkuu Raila Odinga, ...

Hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Naibu Spika. Je, ni haki kwa Waziri Msaidizi kulijibu swali hili huku akiendelea kucheka na hali watu wetu wanaumia? Anacheka nini?

Hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Naibu Spika. Hivi punde, kumeulizwa swali na Waziri Msaidizi akaeleza vizuri kwamba kuna tofauti kati ya centres of excellence, shule za kitaifa na shule za mkoa. Je, ni haki Waziri Msaidizi kujaribu kuwapotosha watu kwa kuzungumzia centres of excellence badala ya kuzungumzia shule za kitaifa na zile za mkoa?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to touch on the issue of employment, particularly the issue of out-sourcing. Airtel Kenya and Yu have outsourced a number of services, which has resulted directly in job losses in Kenya. Telkom Kenya CEO, Mr. Michael Gossen, and I want to quote him, said:- âThe price wars could result in restructuring of their work forceâ. This is another way of saying that they are going to cut back on direct employment. On 8th February, 2011, Mr. Bob Collymore, the CEO of Safaricom, was quoted as saying that there are 3,000 people whom we need ...

That is for now, but it is going to affect them in future and they will be forced to cut jobs. The question we want to put to the Prime Minister, notwithstanding his arguments about the issue of out-sourcing is; how is the Government coming in to protect jobs for Kenyans? So, many of these people who are employed in this sector are young Kenyans. They are in the ICT sector and have nowhere else to go. How is the Government coming in to prevent job losses?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a bit serious. The Prime Minister has asserted here that we must, as a House, allow healthy and capitalist competition, yet he is aware that uncontrolled capitalist competition is what almost brought the American economy to its knees. This is why we are saying: Why can you not look at that case of Sri Lanka? We have raised the issue of job losses; we are raising the issue of loss of revenue. Why can the Prime Minister not look at that case and see whether there is something that ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will pick up from where hon. Langat was agitating. According to Section 203 of the Constitution, we are going to have in the next Budget 15 per centum being sent to county governments. Also, Section 204 of the Constitution says that there is the Equalization Fund which is 0.5 per cent of the national revenues that have been collected being sent to the county governments. When politicians are elected they will expect the county governors to be up and running. What is it that will be in place for the county governors to move forward? ...
