I thank the Chair for expanding our scope of understanding the frontline workers who need to be protected. They are not only the police, but also teachers.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had to fight with the Leader of the Minority Party so that the Petition is not interfered with because I was concerned that it was affecting Kakamega Town. The relocation of campuses by the leadership of many universities has been rampant. We lost Ebunangwe Campus, and that affected the economy of that area in a big way. I am sure that the loss of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) Campus will affect the area. I support the Petition.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I join the rest of the Members in supporting this Bill, the National Disaster Management Authority Bill. It is a Bill that wants to consolidate the issues of disaster into one unit – an Authority which will coordinate all the agencies which deal with disasters in the country. We will have a centralised point, a command center where issues of disaster can be managed from both the levels of research, predictability of disaster and even handling of the same disaster. This Bill is quite good and comprehensive. This is because it touches on several ...

I am not agitated, Hon. Speaker. Last time I was being challenged for being number one, but today I wanted to ask that the Leader of the Majority Party elaborates what this challenge is all about. I and maybe a few of us do not know what you are doing and we could also be talented. I do not know if it is a talent show or whatever it is, so that we are all involved in this thing. We should showcase together with the rest of the Members when that time comes. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

I am humbled, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Last week, I was also roasted here, but it is okay. Thank you. The IFMIS is a good system and I think it moved us to the next level, which we appreciate. However, the Statement by Hon. Osotsi is timely and must be appreciated because it is based on a Report that was given by the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Auditor-General. One time I interacted with that Report closely because there were delays in payment of workers’ salaries and that is why I got concerned. The issues he raised are issues that need to be attended to. Some of them that were in the Report include, among other things, the fact that unidentified users were able to use the system. That is one thing that should be looked at and fixed. He also raised the issue of multiple identities. I followed it very keenly during that particular time. There are people who have multi-identities within the system. They can come ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Last Friday or thereabout when we were dealing with the issue of dissolving Parliament, one of the Hon. Members, I think Roozah Buyu, stood and I am on the record of this House asking how she got to that institution, how it ranked her and why. I was questioning this ranking. Previously, I have been ranked number 339. I was ranked position eight some other time. I was also ranked number one in Vihiga County. After questioning the ranking last Friday, I found that I was ranked position one.

That is what happened. For me, what is very important is to follow up on what Hon. Mbadi and Hon. Dida said. They said that we have to standardise these institutions and regulate them so that if any work comes from them, it is standardised, acceptable and for everybody. That will defend every Member of Parliament whether the ranking has to be done or not. Otherwise, let us not allow ranking where Hon. Omboko can be position 339, sometimes number one or number three at other times. Hon. Speaker, I called nobody. The way I live is that I call ...
