Mr. Chebukati is somebody I know and I want to assure this House that he is up to the task. If you look at the pledges he had made, for the benefit of this House, one is that he is going to undertake an audit and clean the register after the next mass registration. He is up to the task. I assure Members that I come from Trans Nzoia and Mr. Chebukati comes from there, in Kiminini sub-county and he is somebody who is very perfect and focused. Therefore, I want to assure the Members that as it is now, ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to the Motion. I was wondering whether I was going to have a chance to talk about it. I support the Motion. It is good that the President personally attended the Conference to sign this Agreement in Paris. I want to congratulate him on the same. If you look at the issue of agriculture, you will realise that this week, we had a presentation by some technocrats from the Egerton University, who talked about food security strategy in this country. They explained why our food security strategy has ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, we are our own enemies. I know there are efforts to save Kakamega Tropical Rain Forest, but it may take a while. As a country, we are a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol which said that the more forest cover you have, the more carbon credits you will get. This has not been taken seriously by our country. Therefore, if we ratify this Agreement and take it seriously, we will have individual people accessing the Kyoto Protocol carbon credit facilities which are there once you reveal the number of trees you have planted in your area.

Last but not least, I want to talk about global warming. These days when you go to sleep at night, you do not have to cover yourself with a blanket because generally, it is very hot. It is very hot in Mombasa and even here in Nairobi. The cold highlands where I come from are also very hot these days because of global warming. Therefore, this Agreement should be taken seriously. I hope Hon. Ottichilo who is here will suggest ways and means of us reducing global warming as per the articles in the Agreement.

leadership. I am sure each one of us who runs NG-CDF is experiencing the same pains that my brother has just mentioned. Education is a social parameter through which you can see the achievement made in a society. It is not something new. Universal primary education is traced back when some of us in this House were not born, almost 1948, when it was declared by the United Nations a basic right for everybody to get educated. I just want to outline the importance of the FPE that in 1948, the UN declared that education is a basic right for ...
