I want to support this subclause so that our women get 30 per cent of the budgetary allocation. As I support, I would like the Committee to explain to us what they mean by the “disadvantaged groups”. We already have women, youth, and persons with disabilities. I would like to know which groups are “disadvantaged groups.”

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is important for people to know that the 30 per cent is working very well. In Busia County, it has taken off. But what is important is for the National Government to ensure that Huduma Centres are rolled out very quickly to the counties so that women, youth and persons with disabilities can be able to access company documents easily. As it is right now, they are coming to Nairobi all the time to access some of those company documents.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute on this Motion.

We need to look into that first. Our Report has really covered a lot of these issues that our Members are discussing. It will be good if our Report comes next week hopefully because we are going for a retreat to finish it. After that we will be able to articulate issue by issue because right now Members are just talking about privatisation which is just one aspect that is affecting the sugar industry. We need fresh injection of capital for the poorly performing Government-owned mills. It is urgent and this issue needs to be looked at also, but before ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am happy to stand and second the Persons with Disability (Amendment) Bill. I would like to state that television is the only channel that the deaf people can get information. It is unfortunate that if deaf persons do know how to read, they can only know what is happening through television as modes of transmission in the world. Our Constitution is very clear on the Bill of rights and it gives right to information to all people, regardless of gender, race or disability. Blind people can listen to news, people with other sorts ...
