Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I hope he has not eaten into my time. I support the amendment that has been brought by the Committee on transport. If this amendment goes through, it will be one of the best things that this House will have done because all of us travel in one way or another. I must say that I once experienced an unruly passenger on an aircraft, and the experience was not very nice. The attendants had very little to do with him. He was on transit. The world is globalised with people traversing from one continent to another ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I concur with my colleague about the displacement of his constituents. This is something that is happening countrywide. When there are displaced people who are allocated land that is part of the forest cover, somehow it does not take long before they are asked to get out of the forest because degazettement of that land has not been done. It is important not to cheat the public. It is good if we have agreed to give land to people who have been internally displaced to follow the due process and allow them to legally have the ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Currently, we have challenges with pedestrians, how they walk along the roads and how they cross the roads. This is more so our innocent children who are affected because they do not know how to go about it.

As much as we want to start this training, we should show our children how to cross the road. It is also prudent for the people who make roads to put the right signage. That is where the problem is. When you are driving along a road, you do not know where a school is. Apart from a signboard of a school, you rarely see the signage to show that children are crossing the road. Even if we train our children, what will happen to the drivers? We also need to concentrate on the health of the drivers. Drivers need ...

The most challenging part is the boda boda industry. It has helped many youth, changed their lives and gave them employment. We need to help them ride well. When driving, you get motorcycles overtaking you from the left side when you are indicating to go to the left side. This causes collision. Currently, many people are sick, amputated and others have died in hospitals. Some hospitals have even isolated wards for boda boda accident victims. This Motion has come at the right time. It looks short, but it is very important. If we are going towards Universal Healthcare (UHC), it ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I get concerned when the Leader of the Majority Party says Moi was a President of Kenya for 24 years. He was not the President for Baringo. He only came from Baringo but he was serving Kenya. It is unfortunate that he can fix him. He did not do all the roads. We still have roads that need to be done. You cannot say that because Moi was a President, you oppress us.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion, but with reservations. On the Budget that has been done this year, having been a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health, I want to express my dissatisfaction because of what the Committee did. We worked for like 10 days. Like my sister, Esther has said, we visited many SAGAs. We have the problems of those SAGAs in our hearts and minds. After working on the Budget figures day and night, unfortunately, the Report of the BAC came without considering what we had requested. I want to put ...

as if those facilities were being overfunded. They get their initial and conditional grants from the National Treasury. They also get their UHC funds and, at the same time, we were adding some other unconditional grants from the Ministry. We realised it was a triple allocation. That was not even the big problem. The problem is that the additional grants that were given to the Level 5 facilities have, up to now, not been structured. They have not been audited. We do not know the outcome. We do not know whether the money has really improved those facilities. So, what ...
