However much money we add to KNH, as long as we do not sort out the systemic issues, we will be putting a ring on the nose of a pig. Money is good and the hospital needs an increased budget. However, money cannot solve all our problems.

I would like to leave it at that and hope that I can get an approval to my amendment, so that I can contribute further. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this amendment. I would like to support it because it addresses the deficiencies of the main Report. Many Members have contributed and said that the Report was cautious and that it did not go far enough. That is why Members were looking at having an opportunity to see a more in-depth look into the issues that were raised at KNH. The substantive Speaker gave Members an opening and said that, at any point and at any time, any Member, who disagrees with any part of this Report was free to rise ...

looking to take care of. This has also happened in the past where people have said, let us have a taskforce, then the taskforce goes around in circles trying to protect certain individuals. The Report will never see light of day and it will never be implemented. That is the only caution. I support that amendment.

So, it is a very good thing and initiative that reports such as from the IPU make their way to the Floor of this House. We have to take it to the next level. Even the deliberations and the positions our Members ...

We moved from a parliamentary system to a presidential system. Our constituents, as I said earlier, still believe that we must do all those development programmes that we have spoken about, yet even with the NG-CDF in place, somebody would still go to court citing the Constitution and claiming that something is unconstitutional because a Member of Parliament is supposed to legislate, represent and play oversight role and have nothing to do with the execution of programmes. These outreach programmes will bridge the gap between what our constituents understand us to do and what we, constitutionally, are supposed to do. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Motion by Hon. Sossion. I would like to state that as Hon. Sossion mentioned as he moved his Motion, education is the only equalizer and our children across this country from every corner are entitled as a matter of right to quality education. Therefore all our children from up north, down south and on the lake side deserve to have access to quality education. However quality is a factor of many contributors. As I speak, Seth and his wife Caroline Odada who were killed in Wajir hail from ...
