matatu Sacco I am talking about does not meet the required qualifications as per the law and yet it was registered. Probably, they gave some kickbacks. This is the worst form of corruption.

We need to inculcate this kind of behaviour in our pupils right from primary school level so that, by the time they train as drivers, they will be having the basic skills on road safety. That way, it will be easier. Even if, say, they get license through dubious means, they would have been trained on road safety from that tender age. It is disturbing to have such a high number of casualties through road accidents and yet, the cause is neither our roads nor mechanical faults but human error.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support and urge Members to do the same. Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal and (Hon. (Dr.) Pukose, who normally deal with road accident patients need to support this Motion.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is the House that is mandated to allocate funds. Since we are allocating funds, we want to tell the Ministry in charge of wildlife that they should compensate those who have been affected and those who have been maimed by wildlife. Whenever an animal is killed, they The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

are very ready to take people to court. But when human beings are maimed, KWS is not responsible and does not take action. I think human life is more important than that of an animal. We want to conserve animals, but human lives must always be more important than those of animals.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. This is the House that is mandated to allocate funds. We realised that we have allocated a lot of funds to National Gender and Equality Commission and most of those funds will be used in board room meetings, conferences and so on. We want this empowerment to go to the women on the ground. The only way we can have these funds going directly to the empowerment of women of this country is through National Government Affirmative Action Fund, which was introduced to ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion and congratulate Hon. Osoro. If you look at what is going on in this Republic, the recklessness on the roads is staggering. It is only in Kenya where you will see somebody attempting to cross a four-lane highway and there is a bridge that has been provided. I wonder if this is just sheer rebellion or madness. I have no idea. It could also be lack of education and lack of understanding. Actually, you need to be educated to cross a road. I remember when I was growing ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We all need to see the value of this money, especially the youth. On exportation of labour, we need to export human resource to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) because that is the game changer in terms of economy. We can export even one million youth and we will solve the issue of unemployment and create foreign exchange. Some countries like the Philippines make trillions of dollars in foreign exchange by exporting labour. So, we should also device ways of exporting labour.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. While we support the EACC, we want to see value for the money we have given them. The problem is that we have been giving those independent commissions money to send them to catch thieves, only for them to also become thieves. When the Auditor-General identifies where corruption has taken place, it is as if we are sending the EACC to say: “How much have you stolen so that you can give us a percentage of that money?” We want to see value for the money we allocate to the EACC. The ...
