On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek a statement from the Chairman of the Committee of National Security and Foreign Relations. My statement relates to the issue of CCTV security surveillance in Nairobi. In the statement, I would like the Chairman to clarify the following: 1.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have done so. Sen. Karaba is also a member of the Committee. He should make an effort and collaborate with other members of the committee so that we bring a comprehensive report to this House. We, as a Committee, are trying our best.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought the provision of basic requirements for education should have been the first priority instead of going to the secondary needs. In Wajir where I come from, learning materials like books, desks and chalks are not available and the basic infrastructure is zero. For example, the first time I saw a tarmac road is when I was travelling from my home to join university in Nairobi in 2007. When the lecturer talked about zebra crossing I thought that along the highways there were zebras. I did not understand what the lecturer meant.

When the lecturer talked of traffic lights, we could not conjure what he was talking about. So, I think the basic needs should be addressed before the secondary needs are addressed.
