Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, youth empowerment and job creation are very key. The money allocated for youth empowerment is little. From the media and all over the world, you hear that the youth is a time bomb and, unless this Government does something about creating jobs for the youth very quickly, we will get into a serious problem. That is because our children go to school, leave the universities and middle level colleges with degrees and diploma certificates and find themselves idle. They then start selling water and groundnuts in the streets because they have nothing else to do. Unless ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the development of infrastructure to make Kenya a transport hub in East Africa can create a lot of wealth. I am sure with a good Cabinet Secretary like Mr. Macharia Kamau and a good Principal Secretary, we can create railways which are effective, classified roads, harbours, airports and good roads like the Thika Superhighway everywhere in the country. That will create employment and our youth will be absorbed.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to tell the Chairman of the Budget and the Appropriations Committee that people in old age were left out. There was no money budgeted for the old people. One problem we have in this country is that old people suffer very much. They retire, lose their money and strength and, instead of getting something in their old age because their children are also not helping them, they get nothing. Let us make sure that there is money for the old people. They can be paid a stipend of even Kshs5,000 per month. That ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to use those five seconds to say that we have seen a lot of intrigues and infighting in the Police Force. It should be made clear that the Inspector-General should be in charge so that he can control the Force. They are the ones who know what to do and you cannot bring outsiders in the Force and try to have them to control trained officers.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the interest of time, and because I do not have enough time, I want to say that, overall, the Budget and Appropriations Committee did a good job. There is a good spread and there are areas of concern that have been allocated money. The big issue is on the implementation of this Budget.

I am happy that teachers will be remunerated well. On the issue of laptops to Standard I pupils, the Committee has taken the complaints that it is not a priority. But computer laboratories can be constructed in secondary schools. That is a good thing that the Committee did, so that we do not try to implement the Jubilee Manifesto where they did not come up with good ideas. I think it was a very good idea to suggest that computer laboratories are more of a priority than giving laptops to young children who may either lose or sell them.
