many documentations such as tax compliance certificate from the KRA, certificate of good conduct from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, and clearance certificate from HELB, yet these graduates have not even cleared school fees from universities, it becomes very difficult for them to get jobs. The intention of this Bill, which is a progressive Bill, is to protect majority of our graduates and young people who roam our streets in search of employment. I congratulate Hon. Keter because the Bill is seeking to cut costs. We have to reduce the cost that the young people incur before they are given ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to support the request for a Statement by Hon. Keter because of 100 per cent transition policy. Like other policies, 100 per policy was an effort to, not only come up with regulation, but also administrative action. I understand that, as Members of Parliament, we are frustrated because it is our role to exercise oversight. However, allow me to humbly say, not just as someone who is an educationist by training, but because I know how Hon. Kandie was frustrated by the professor, as we seek for 100 per cent transition, let ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also would like to comment and agree with the Petition that has been brought forward by the MP. Leadership, as is clearly reflected, is what we need when there are challenges and when we need The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

to have solutions. I remember Professor Wangari Maathai as a leader. I know that Members have alluded to what it is that she did in terms of being the first woman professor or the first woman who did one thing or the other. I remember Professor Wangari Maathai and this is why I support that, indeed, we should name Karura Forest after her. She clearly helped us to understand that leadership is gender neutral. Hon. (Prof.) Wangari Maathai told us that when looking for a person to put in leadership, we should look for their vision, thoughts, courage and boldness. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support the Report. As I do so as it, indeed, seems to be reflected as you read through the Report and even from what the Vice-Chairperson indicated as he was seconding, I believe we need to look into how we can implement Article 204 that was specifically ensuring that we could bring to the same level those areas that were identified as the 14 counties. It is important that we recognise that to come to the level where in terms of concern, I see in this Report as well as ...

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I am a Member of the Committee. As we looked at this in the manner Hon. Odhiambo-Mabona had indicated, we were aware that her aim as she clearly expressed, was to bring simplicity in terms of taking the exact information that was there, but separating it into A, B, C and D for clarity. I just wanted to say that from the perspective of the Committee, and this is a bit ironic, we felt that a lot of legal jargon and expression which is what we have here, tends to be presented in paragraph form. Therefore, ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also support this Bill. I do so agreeing, as has been pointed out, that it is extremely important given the experience that we have had. We, indeed, know that the sovereign power is with the people. We also know that once the people elect leaders, they would like, as much as possible, to have an atmosphere that would enable efficient, effective, and meaningful leadership. This is even as we recognise that there tends to be some differences of opinion that could be difficult to grapple with. As I support this Bill, I am reminded that ...

which those elected into office, be it a President, Deputy President, governor or a member of the county assembly, can be given justice, should the need arise. They should be presented with a situation where they can defend themselves. The law is clear that one is not guilty until they have been proved so. On the other hand, we also need to be aware that part of the challenge that is giving us headache in the county is that at the county level, when one becomes a governor and gets power, they do not necessarily need to be held accountable ...
