Thank hon. Millie. Thank you Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Bill because it has come at the right time; considering that hon. Wamunyinyi brought this Bill in the Ninth Parliament, it lapsed and he has brought it again, he had a lot of time to look through it. This is a good Bill. Physiotherapists treat people who are injured or who have illness or those who have disability through exercise. This Bill seeks to create the Physiotherapy Council of Kenya. This council---

Sorry Temporary Deputy Speaker; I went off the mark. Thank you. I was on the right Bill; because it also involves physiotherapists, psychotherapists--- Yes, there is a difference.

There is a difference in that, “psycho” is about things mental well-being and “physio”, is about things physical. I listened to the Director of Mathari Mental Hospital some time back on TV, Dr Mutisya. She vividly brought out the reason why there are so many mental cases. Some of the causes are economic pressure, difficulties in life, family breakdowns and so many other things. This Bill has come at the right time, because we have seen incidents--- As hon. (Dr) Kibunguchy has said, there are these extra ordinary things that men are doing these days. People rape old women and ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. The Committee did a thorough job and comprehensively addressed the relevant issues. So, I support the Report because the Committee has looked at the salient issues that will help us. They have thought through the three Bills that they have tabled in this House.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, after 1977, when the former EAC collapsed, a certain political class has always tried to prevent the revival of the EAC for some reasons. We have to resist that move and integrate. Kenya will benefit more than the other member states once we integrate. Every region in the world is integrating and forming economic blocks. There is the European Union (EU), ECOWAS and others. That is the only way to tap markets, engage in trade and develop economically. It is, therefore, in the interests of Kenyans for us to support the three Bills; they are well ...

understood that if they integrate, something will happen. That feeling should disappear. So, this Bill is a good one because first, it will create a uniform curriculum in all the five countries; the partner states and it will help Africans to know each other’s culture and languages and so forth. This Bill also encourages the teaching and speaking of English and Kiswahili. Some of the countries in the region like Burundi and to some extent Rwanda never had English as their official language. That is changing because this Bill encourages the citizens of these states to speak English and Kiswahili ...

Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to contribute on this Bill; the Public Finance Management (PFM) (Amendment) Bill, 2014. I stand to support this Bill for one reason, that it makes borrowing for this country easy, possible and it has put safeguards. But there are a few amendments that I would like the Committee to consider so that we fine tune it and protect Kenyans from losing money through things like Anglo Leasing. The amendments that I want to bring will ensure transparency in loan taking. Clause 3 proposes amendment to Section 57(c) and (d) which will ...
