(i) whether he could give a detailed status of the Pan Paper Mills Company in Webuye with regard to milling, modernization, revival of the company and its ability to offer employment to the youth in the region; and, (ii) whether he could state the number of youth employed by the company and the status of former employees vis-à-vis redundancy and redeployment.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with Hon. Millie. As she has explained, it is not good enough to say you are competitive. You must add and include openness in its write-up to make the whole exercise complete. When you are open and transparent, it is not the same as being competitive. Therefore, I agree with Hon. Millie. That proposed amendment is in order.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. In line with what Hon. Makali has asked, when you give an open window between signing and implementation, there is a high chance of abuse of that window. The performer of the contract is likely to abscond duty simply because he has leeway or time to reorganise himself outside that contract period. So, according to me, the Mover needs to clarify exactly that difference and explain why he is leaving the other party to the contract.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to seek clarifications from Hon. Millie whether the 14 days, in her view, is the minimum or maximum. It could be within 14 days, or 14 days to be the baseline for evaluation. It is important she clarifies before we make a decision on which way to go.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to add my voice to the issue which was raised by Hon. Elsie. Indeed, Kakamega is in trouble. I am a neighbour to Matungu, which together with Navakholo and Mumias East constituencies share a boundary. What happens to a neighbour, prepare twice for it is bound to happen to you. The issue of insecurity is really wanting. The police in my constituency the other day shot somebody who died. It is now history. Another one was shot by police and when it came to action, we are happy that the Cabinet Secretary ensured that the ...

Finally, there is the issue of information. On elimination of boundaries, Kakamega County is disadvantaged in terms of administrative units. We do not have enough sub-chiefs to really coordinate and be together with the people to give feedback to the Government. Let delimitation of units be done and let us have sub-chiefs employed to coordinate the national Government on the ground and give handy information to the officers on the ground.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on Standing Order No.95 to seek your direction. The speakers who have spoken seem to be moving towards one direction. Going by the speech given by the Leader of the Majority Party, he seems to imply that we are going to have the Committee of the whole House tomorrow. It means that much of the work will be dealt with in the Committee of the whole House. Given that, will I be in order to ask that the Mover be now called upon to reply? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The electronic version of the ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, allow me to join my colleagues in rejecting the proposed amendments. I vehemently oppose these proposed amendments by the Senate by the following few reasons that I want to lay bare. I served in the 11th Parliament as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, which is part of the Committee that initiated this process. I remember very well what we deliberated on it. This is not part of what we went through. This is unconstitutional. Article 96 of the Constitution gives us the limitations to ...
