Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate hon. Gitobu Imanyara for moving this Bill. I also want to thank him so much for taking time to move The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, which essentially seeks to introduce the Special Tribunal in Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Imanyara has gone into details about what the technical bits of the law that are necessary for us to get the Special Tribunal for Kenya and he has gone into the details of the kind of things and the standards that we need to set. However, I want to bring this ...

. That is to say that when you travel, you see things that help you to understand where our country is and where we need to be. In a trip as members of the Inter-Parliamentary Union that we had recently, on the sidelines we were discussing the topic of organized crimes. One of the members that engaged me told me: âKenya, what is wrong with you? Why have you not passed the Bill that fights the proceeds of crime?â Previously, we had raised the question of terrorism. We showed concern that the issue of piracy was not being discussed in ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see how strange it is. I asked a Question about a road and it is being answered by the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports. It is like there is lack of seriousness as a whole regardingly this road. For 20 years, the Hola- Garsen Road which is the main road that connects GarsenâHola- Garissa-Nairobi has been suffering because of being allocated to the NYS.

Could the Minister confirm or deny that the Kshs205 million that was returned to the Treasury was because the NYS has no capacity to do this work? This is because if it were a private contractor they would have finished this work. Could she tell us whether it is not true that, in fact, the NYS uses this road as an avenue for training their personnel? They are not doing any work. You can imagine out of 78 kilometres of road, they have only done 17 kilometres. They are tabling these facts before this House and yet, the Ministry returns ...
