Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my views on this very important discussion. From the outset, I want to take the position that I support the privatisation of these mills. I support because the process that was undertaken in the first instance where Mumias Sugar Company was floated on the Stock Exchange without the various sectors being consulted has given an opportunity to explore and now understand that privatisation is going to move from the unknown to the known. When you look at the millers that have been proposed---

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to congratulate my colleague, the hon. Member for Kibra, for bringing this very noble idea for us to shed some more light. Days are coming and going and we are finding that principals are becoming so wise than the Ministry of Education itself. Whenever the Ministry issues a directive, they camouflage it and end up with a different idea all together. You will find that sometime last year, the Ministry issued a directive that all certificates should be given to those candidates who did examinations previously. Now, principals are ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to join other Kenyans and my colleagues in this House, to send a message of condolence to the fallen Kenyans. As I stand before you, my constituency lost two people from the Mandera Massacre. I am a very disturbed person. The manner in which the two people lost their lives and how they went to Mandera in search of something to keep their lives going on is quite sad. This is because of unemployment. Much as we blame the security systems, I would want to say that, ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to second the adoption of the Report of the Regional Integration Committee on the establishment of the East African Monetary Union. As you have been made aware by the Chair, I am a Member of this Committee. I participated in the formulation of the Report. In summary, the benefits the Report is bringing to Kenyans are so immense that we cannot afford to miss them. I just want to mention one issue that is very pertinent in this Report. It is the population that it will bring together in terms of what has been ...

has taken cognizance of two major things. There is the issue of the monetary convergence and fiscal convergence. If it takes ten years from now to come up with the full implementation of the Monetary Union and a single currency, this means that Kenya will no longer rely on one central bank, but will have to bring on board the entire economy and make both monetary and fiscal policies for the entire region. Once this is possible, it is going to make the economy very vibrant and make consumption of the people stimulate demand. I also want to take cognizance ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. The ancestors of the late hon. Wamalwa Kijana come from my constituency. You will remember that Trans Nzoia is a settlement scheme where almost everyone has converged to settle. By you giving me this chance, hon. Wamalwa will enjoy himself wherever he is resting in peace. I want to join my colleague, hon. Wamalwa, and say that his decision to bring this Motion is very noble. Indeed, hon. Wamalwa has thought well. When you look at what hon. Kijana Wamalwa did for us when he was alive, I would want to ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when you look at the 2002 situation in this country, politics was the order of the day and it was only Michael Wamalwa who was able to bring all political giants together by saying that we should move forward. Although previously he had a difficult political situation with the former Prime Minister, they were able to sit down, discuss, move forward and make this country have a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having looked at that, let me have the opportunity to look at education in perspective. What hon. Wamalwa has done is simply bring to us the resolution of the Senate at its implementation stage, which I concur with. The Senate said that we should have a university in every county.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Trans Nzoia is an isolated county belonging to the western region; although in Rift Valley most of its inhabitants are part of Kakamega and Bungoma counties. This is a local idea if we embrace that Kitale Technical Institute becomes a university. However, I would say notwithstanding the two universities that we have, namely Moi and Kitale---
