Hon. Speaker, you have clarified what I wanted clarified when you were responding to Members’ issues. I had two petitions one on hardship area and the other one was the gazettement of Ndaragwa Township as a forest. The petitions were being processed by the Committee. So, I will do as you have directed.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I realise that we have very little time to contribute to this very important aspect of our country. I want to tell those who came to the NYS like Millie, Duale, and Wario in 1988, we were there as the pioneers. We are the ones who started that programme and we resisted to a point where we wanted to riot because we thought we were being punished by the then President Daniel Moi. To date I think it was meant to punish us, I am not quite happy even now, but ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a very important thing. We now have a corporate body, so we expect a better management structure and the Mwongozo principles to be adhered to. I would be very happy to know what those who started it on 1st September 1963 had in mind because that was quite early. I do not know where they had borrowed this from or where the idea had come from and that would be very important history. During the Tenth Parliament we went to Brazil and we came across a similar organisation and we have that report. The ...

It is important to have this unit and to see the kind of statute Bill that we have for it. Unlike other Bills, you can go through this and see that it is really well crafted. It has gone through some very good drafters. A lot of minds have been put into it and I cannot see some hurry like we have seen in other Bills that have come for our consideration. My colleagues have mentioned one of the things that young people want to hear and that is that this National Youth Service will be a stepping stone to ...

After the training, the fact that the young people can access some technical training is a very useful thing. We need to make it not something that is a by the way but one that should be availed to all of them so that they leave the college with some training. For those who cannot continue with the forces they can leave the training with some technical training which they can use for a living

I have noticed a big change. Now, you find them in public offices manning gates and public places that we go and there is change. It is a great improvement and I am sure even the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

way they are doing things will improve the way private guard security firms will be doing their work. The NYS has brought in some professionalism. I agree with Hon. Millie that they also need to know personalities since it helps in the management of work, which is quite lacking with them.

The NYS helps bring discipline. When we had these cohorts, and I must thank the Government because my constituency benefited, though at the tail end of the programme, it brings discipline in a constituency. You can see the other young people wanting to join. When these people have a disciplined way of doing things it changes the culture that is creeping in our country. It is for that reason that the Budget and Appropriations Committee and ourselves going forward should not look for ways of punishing them by denying them funds. We should fund them.

Those who steal form them must be punished. That is why we need to ensure that those who have not been paid including the ones from Ndaragwa Constituency are paid because it is not good to find these young people always asking for their little money from Government including from the ladies who cook for them. Even at that level we still had some aspects of corruption. Those in charge of the cohorts seek for favours for them to fill in the register. So, corruption must be sorted out.
