Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Vice-President and Leader of Government Business comes next week, he should also confirm to us about the statements with regard to the Provincial Administration. We have heard statements from senior Government officials to the effect that they will appoint county commissioners and yet the Constitution is very clear---

asked the Prime Minister:- (a) whether he could clarify the extent to which Kenyan politics is being funded by drug money, particularly whether the funds are channeled to political parties or specific candidates and provide the names of such individuals or parties; and, (b) what amounts are involved and what action the Government has taken to have the matter investigated and culprits brought to book.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I actually expected him not to be ready because the statements that came up were very serious, from a function that was attended by the Prime Minister himself right here in Nairobi. He made very serious allegations against Kenyan politicians. We would appreciate if the Prime Minister, himself, can be in this House to explain his statements. That is because we are taking it very gravely. So, we have no objection to the Prime Minister coming here to explain because we cannot accept those statements to be attributed to the House.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a very good development that we are having a School of Government being established, in fact, a legislation for it in the country for the first time.

In New Zealand, we have a school of government which is stationed at the Victoria University in Wellington. In the United Kingdom (UK), we have a school of government which, like it is envisaged here, provides policy and manages training for the UK civil servants. In ...

Harvard Kennedy School. Again, it provides something akin to what we want to establish here. The Harvard Kennedy School started in 1936. We are not late. We can do it and do it better. That is what we have in mind. Again, I want to ask the Minister that we think together on how we can conceive this Kenya School of Government to look like.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I see two models. There is the model that is the UK School of Government which simply emphasizes on development of public policy and management training for the UK civil service. So, it simply trains the public service of the United Kingdom. It also provides research. That is one model. There is this other model like the Harvard Kennedy School which, apart from dealing with the public servants, they also invite men and women who wish in future to render service to their country. They can also invite businessmen and women, or even people who ...
