the same things which will be brought to us. We will still pass them as they are. We cannot question them with the authority they deserve. I remember the days when I was not in the House when such reports were tabled and the entire House would be full. Emotions were high. The heat was generated. I loved it. Those are the moments I miss. Having said that, let me indicate that the Mover flagged out irregularities and illegalities in procurement and therefore made it clear that procurement is the main source of the troubles we have in terms of ...

There is another area I want to emphasise on, and Hon. Duale seems to have seen. Recently, I was in the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. Believe me, the construction works of Mitihani House were started way back in 1986. It has been constructed all along until recently we gave them more money. Government officers have perfected the art of working with the courts and contractors together with officials within the same Government Ministries to enhance more budgetary allocations to an institution like Mitihani House. For more than 30 years, the Government has been constructing a building that is ...

Finally, let me speak on what has been called “pending bills” that have been created by the Government itself. The Government, through Supplementary Budgets, allocates money to tease certain areas with them, after which planning is done and tenders are awarded to people.

William Chepkut for this Petition and even having intimated that there will be a meeting in Glasgow in the month of November and which Kenya should attend via the committee and other stakeholders.

Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for calling Hon. Kositany to order. I think the increase of forest cover especially in places which have been left out like in my own constituency is a good idea. We have Nganyi Shrines and Nganyi Forest which are now being interfered with. These are some of the areas that need to be protected together with the Ebusiekwe Forest. Finally, this aspect of using schools as centers to plant trees is very good. Let it be given emphasis. Let primary schools, secondary schools and all institutions of learning be given trees to plant. This will ...
