Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to speak to this Motion. From the outset, I like to congratulate the Committee. As we undertake our work, one of the key areas that we are not only keen to look at, and which the public suggests that we do not do so well, is confirmed to have been done well by this Committee. This is ensuring that as we come up with legislation, in particular as we look at the various regulations for the basis of managing public funds and would define operations and how we engage in administration, ...

closely look at ways by which the funding is keeping with other existing laws. Finally, when we think of the representation angle and the number of times the public thinks that we do not take time to not only look at the detail, but to consider what affects them, the Committee was able to take note of the significant role that public participation plays. Therefore, with this, I would like to support and once again congratulate the Committee. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. From the outset, I would like to support the Motion for the ratification of the Protocol. When we consider the impact of illicit trade, as has been clearly indicated by the Committee, and look at a context of the illicit tobacco trade, we can see that we are going not only to be dealing with material that has potential to cause damage, but also material that could be counterfeit and could have been brought through avenues that are not correct such as The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ...

smuggling. The material could also not have provided opportunity for Kenya and the public to get taxes because there is tax evasion. So, as I support the Motion for the ratification of the Protocol, I do it on the premise that it is, indeed, an opportunity that will ensure that we are able to block and reduce access to those who are vulnerable. With the illicit tobacco trade, there will be greater accessibility. The tobacco will be cheap to be accessed by children, expectant and lactating mothers. We know the impact that tobacco would have even to those who are ...

a) What steps is the Ministry taking to identify and document indigenous systems on critical areas of development particularly on food security, conflict resolution, good governance, courtship and marriage, child protection, gender equality and climate change? b) What policy steps is the Ministry taking to enable children and youth to receive systematic instructions and understanding of their cultural identity, value beliefs and practices while ensuring that retrogressive norms and aspects do not infringe on their human dignity and ability to be productive members of the society? Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion. Looking at the significance of education, particularly public education which by its very nature seeks to meet the needs of all citizens regardless of their ability to go into private schools, I support the Motion. It helps us to recognise that it is extremely important to have a deliberate system that guides, not just where we place schools, but that before a public school is located, we need to think of the land, space and bear in mind the infrastructure that will be required. Currently, the challenge is that we have ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Kanyi for bringing this very important Motion, which I support. I support this Motion because it helps, particularly in Kenya and broadly in Africa, to re- orient our education and help us see ways in which we can encourage our young people and those who go to school to make important choices. If we think about the current education system and choices, we realise that there are those who make choices for specialisation and who tend to go to universities and other colleges for formal certification. We also have those who ...

experience; it can be formal or informal. As much as I know that we have tended to say that academics and professors do not solve problems, this Motion enables us to see that there are problems that academics and professors would solve. A lot of it would be on conceptualisation. For example, right now, thinking that education is only formal is something that academics and those who are theoretical are able to address and say that education can be formal or informal. The functional placement is what this Motion is speaking to, which I would like to support. Plumbers and ...
