on important areas in the nation. I will be quick to give an example of Kenya Railways because it touches on lives of many people and the interests are wide and far. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would specifically want to speak on land because these State corporations have a lot of land and as it has been indicated, some of that land does not have title deeds. This has become a conduit for those who are corrupt within Government to take that land away. That is why positions in State corporation leadership become tribalised. Sometimes those in leadership act ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I do not think it is in order for the leader, whom I respect and wish well, to treat Parliament like a school where he is an administrator explaining why the money is not going to the constituencies. The Chair has said that the money has not been taken to the Board for it to disburse to the constituencies. He wants to create a situation whereby it is Parliament or the MPs seated here who are not disbursing the cash.

Okay. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this chance. I want to appreciate the Motion moved by Hon. Mwadime and seconded by the Chair, Wanga, who seems to have a lot of information. It is just time that made her not bring out the real Motion the way it was. The Government was trying to launch what we call the Public Service Superannuation Scheme. This is a pension scheme that tries to change the entire framework of pension scheme for workers of Kenya, like teachers and civil servants. It changes from a defined benefit plan to a defined contributory ...

That is what is more important when you have left Parliament. So, I want to support this Bill. I think I will go back to my table to do a lot of amendments because it is an area that I tend to deal with given my background in trade unionism. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to ask Question No. 123 of 2020 to the Cabinet Secretary for Education: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) trainers were transferred from the Teachers Service Commission payroll to the Public Service Commission in February/March 2019 without having in place a scheme of service for the said trainers, causing them to miss out on the Phase III and Phase IV of the TSC Scheme of Service under the Collective Bargaining Agreement of 2016? (ii) Why were the said trainers not issued with new employment/appointment letters ...

Hon. Speaker, I do not have any lake. I want to thank you for the ruling you have made on the Statements and demystification of the same. It is true that when a Chair is going to give a response to a Statement sought by a Member, the relationship you have is that he has an important document in a file that you must not see until when we get here. I must thank you for that. We must demystify the Statement so that we discuss it overly before it is presented in the House. I want to add on ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. From what we have heard from Hon. Mbadi, and given the much publicised issues about the Tea Bill, I will only request the new Chairman, having asked properly that he should familiarise himself with what is going on in the Committee and the Bill in particular, that he could possibly give a timeline. This is so that even those who are ready to deal with it are also covered and taken care of. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.
