Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am afraid the Assistant Minister has not answered my Question. My Question was very specific. I was asking not just about the facts but the status of the appeal. This was a whole DCIO who was interdicted on mere allegations. He launched an appeal in 2006. It is now 2009. He has been at home for three years. What is the status of his appeal? What have you done? He appealed and up to now, he has heard nothing, he continues to suffer at home.

28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly:
Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, though he has not answered the supplementary question. It was in two parts; that is, the status of the appeal and what they are doing to ensure expeditious disposal of such an appeal. He has not answered both parts of the question.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank Mr. Linturi for giving me a chance to support this very wonderful Motion. This is a year of reforms. We expect that as we embark on the Constitutional review, devolution is going to be the centre piece. That would mean that we are going to send more resources and powers to the local authorities and regions. Therefore, councillors are going to assume more responsibilities. It is very important that this timely Motion is supported by all of us to ensure that, indeed, councillors are remunerated and empowered.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are engulfed by corruption. Indeed, if we are determined to fight corruption at the grassroots, we must start with the grassroots leaders; that is, the councillors. Once we take care of these councillors, we will demand nothing of them but accountability and delivery of services. We cannot do so if we are not remunerating them. Indeed, what they are getting are allowances. They have to resort to other means. The responsibilities they have are too great. They live with the people every day, shoulder their responsibilities and, therefore, have to resort to looking for plots ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that the Assistant Minister has acknowledged that there is a serious shortage of teachers, not just in Kimilili but across the country, and given the threat that is being issued to sack all the teachers on strike, could he assure this House that he will find a more prudent way of dealing with this matter rather than creating further shortage and a crisis in the country?

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will start by congratulating the hon. Phillip Waki. As hon. Orengo said earlier, he is a jurist of impeccable record and judge and lawyer for whom we have the greatest respect. It was not an easy task, going by the challenges that Justice Waki and his committee faced. Indeed, it took not just the dedication to their task in execution of their terms of reference, but also courage to actually come up with the kind of recommendations that they did.
