Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me complete by saying that we should have a mechanism or some regulations whereby we can check with the county governments and the central Government that the 30 per cent opportunities are given to the youth. If we do not do that, we will find that with regular checking, maybe, once or twice per year, this will be done.

The youth and women particularly, will have employment opportunities. This is a very good opportunity for us. In fact, out there, the youths have been having problems. You go out there and they are so idle. But this is an opportunity for them to have employment.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment to the Title of the Regulations. Having just come from the constituency, I found the mood there very expectant. We should not delay any more. I am just hoping that after this amendment, in the next few days, we will see the Uwezo Fund through to the beneficiaries. Capacity building, which is an issue, will be done very soon.

reasons and maybe other times he has no facts. Therefore, we should look into that and reduce that penalty into something less, like six months, but not five years. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I feel that this Marriage Bill - I am sure the Deputy Leader of Majority Party has talked about come-we-stay - should help us protect the institution of marriage at all costs. If we start creating side shows, we will be diluting the institution of marriage which must be protected at all costs. Hon. Deputy Speaker, something that has not been properly defined is the “register”. Which ...

I just wanted this opportunity, as a good Kenyan, to also oppose this amendment. I quite agree that there are some areas which are good and others that are very offensive as far as I am concerned. One of the amendments which I quite agree with hon. Muchai is about the Police Force joining a trade union. I oppose it and agree they should amend it. Two, is the fact that, at the moment--- In fact, I just came from home today. I did not attend yesterday’s Session because of very good reasons - insecurity in Kwanza. I can tell ...
