fill this gap. Interns should be brought on board so that they are permanent teachers. The Senator for Wajir County said that there are no teachers in Wajir County. Special schools do not have enough teachers. Therefore, there is need for the TSC to come so that they are interrogated and we solve this problem for the sake of Kenyans. We are here because of the children of Kenya. We want the children of Kenya to get the best in terms of education. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to debate this issue. I commend the team of Sen. Wamatangi for the noble work they did by visiting the site. When issues were raised about the roads in Kitui and Malaba, they decided as a Committee not just to sit on their laurels, but to go to the site and see what was happening. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, roads are very important. We cannot go very far without good roads. Roads are arteries through which the economy pulses. They have a big role to play in terms of economic development, ...

As they wait for the three days, there is some illegitimate kind of behaviour that sips in. For instance, the drivers are tempted to engage inappropriately with the women or female friends around there. That is a discovery they made as a Committee. The Committee came back with an objective mind of ensuring that they arrest the situation that they saw; to ensure the people at the border post get service delivery. That is what a Committee should do; going to the ground to investigate and witness the problem. The other observation they made was that there was an incomplete ...

In the case of Kibwezi, the CSR activity should help to create employment for the youth of Kibwezi. If there are children who are not able to go to school because their parents cannot afford to pay school fees, it is a good thing for an organisation to even pay fees for these children. All organisations, especially contractors, should embrace CSR activities. When contractors are given a job anywhere, they should be considerate of the community they are working within. The community should be able to say that a particular organisation worked in this area, and as a result of ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Committee noted a case of a girl called Joyce whose ears were affected because of the construction, and now has a hearing problem. I hope she is now not a PWD because that can be very bad. If this girl becomes a PWD because of the road construction that was going on, then the organisation should come in and compensate her by ensuring that she goes to school, finishes college and accords her employment thereafter. A disability should not be manmade. Let it be an accident, where you can say that it is an act ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I will try to be brief. As Africans, burial sites are our social fabric because we respect the dead. In Western Kenya, if the head of a family dies, he will be buried in front of the House. If it
