Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My point of order is that the mood in the House is quite expectant. When our senior, Hon. Kimunya, was contributing about the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, you could see the attention of the House was not in the mood of concentration. I wish to plead with the Chair that we suspend this discussion and focus on the Budget.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. It is also important to bring to the notice of the House that I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. When we were making this Budget, we looked at the money. When we appeared before the BAC, we advised them that this money should be given to certain Vote Heads that could be devolved down to the constituency level.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I will be very brief. It is true that the TSC was not given money to employ teachers.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Let me also thank the Leader of the Majority Party for what he has guided the House on because yesterday, we really suffered. Members want to contribute to those issues and we are being hurried and yet, we had put 30 minutes for each and every vote. So, thank you Leader of the Majority Party for that direction.

small-scale earnings in the transport sector like boda boda riders . They have a lot of capacity for co-operatives, but they have not been harnessed so that they can form co-operatives that will actually help them and engineer this economy moving forward. We are over-relying on the deposit based co-operatives that are old and yet, the market for employment is reducing. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.
