I would want to say that the name “Wamalwa Kijana” is super and superior. When we name Kitale Institute as “Wamalwa Kijana University”, the name “Wamalwa Kijana” will be superior to any other name that will exist in Kitale. It will be synonymous to that of every person who exists in Kitale.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, therefore, I want to support in totality that Kitale Technical Institute becomes Wamalwa Kijana University in accordance with our Heroes Act, which we passed in this House. We can recognise somebody as a hero following what he did to us; therefore, it is important that we all move together and make Wamalwa Kijana University possible. I want to support what hon. Wamalwa has brought to us as a Motion. I want to tell hon. Wamalwa that let this not end here. I want to see a Bill coming to the Floor of the House, so that ...

riders. A situation that prevails on the ground is that many a times, those boys do not really understand whether to go left by indicating using their hand or using the indicators on the motorcycles. Whenever they ride motorcycles, they do not want to know which side of the road they will use. It is not that they do not want to use the right signage, but it is just because they are not well trained to understand the usage of the road.

On the various approaches on the road as it is supposed to be, they seem not to understand. So, this Motion should be built into a Bill and brought to the Floor of this House. I feel that hon. Ochieng would have done Kenyans proud. That way, we can remedy the situation that is happening on the ground. We will make it a better way of living by our people.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is one way of engaging the youth. If you look at the current situation on employment, you will find that it is not everyone who can be accommodated in white collar jobs. Based on the situation that is on the ground, should this Motion be transformed into a Bill which is enforced by the Government, we will have a situation where repairs and maintenance garages will be built and most of those people working there will be trained. They will understand the engineering part of repairs and maintenance of those motorcycles. That is because not only ...

Another thing that the Government should do as we enforce this issue on the motorcycles is to reduce the levies and taxes on the spare parts of those motorcycles. Should this come into force, our boys and girls who enjoy riding motorcycles will acquire it at a cheaper cost. You will find that the cost of acquiring a motorcycle is lower than the cost of maintaining it in the long run. Therefore, it is important that we look into this matter and lower the levies and taxes so that we help our boys and girls in various centres.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, you will find that those motorcycles have made the logistic work between the rural areas and the nearby market centres very affordable. By virtue of using the motorcycles, most of the local farmers are able to deliver their commodities to the nearby markets. With the introduction of a Bill, the boys and girls will now understand the usage of motorcycles. That means that the delivery of various commodities from the farms to the nearest markets will really be faster.
