Therefore, there are many other areas which should have been touched. When I was going through this particular document, I did not see a heavy hand being put on the National Youth Service (NYS) which has been known to wrongly spend our money. Instead, I saw the budget for education infrastructure being affected and the only simple reason is that that money is not being given out in an equitable way. That is something that can be dealt with within the management. Therefore, it would be unreasonable to hit the budgets that affect Kenyans. When it comes to education, Kenyans ...

Hon. Speaker, I saw the budget of the TSC being affected. This country is lacking in so far as teachers’ employment is concerned. So, why would we go a step further to hit on areas that are required?

I feel that the proposals before us are not good for Kenyans and moving forward, I would like to tell the House that I am not happy when the leadership within the House directs the Motion on budget allocations and proposals to mean that if the House and the Members’ interests have been taken care of, then we can leave the rest of Kenyans to suffer with taxes. That impression was very wrong. It will look like immediately we got what we thought was correct in terms of the NG-CDF and other emoluments, we left the ordinary Kenyan to suffer. ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the Communication on the fact that we have had to have this Special Sitting of the House. Hon. Speaker, the matter that we shall be looking at, especially the matter which one Hon. Member raised, is the issue of the tax. Because that is a matter that concerns Kenyans, I beg your indulgence that, when it comes to voting on the particular matter, because it is raising a question of integrity, independence and strength of this House, you allow the voting to be done publicly so that Kenyans can know who is for them and ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is in the same spirit already mentioned by Hon. Junet that we would really want to know at what time the Bill is coming back. It has been in the Order Paper for the last two consecutive weeks.

Hon. Speaker, I rise to thank you for the Communication that you have given. It, at least, brings orderliness to the House. While you were away, we remained unsure of the two issues. One, the issue of corruption, which you have talked about and have correctly guided the House on, which is with regards to what should be done so that we can bring the issue to a complete rest.

The second issue you have talked about, and which you have provided guidance on, is the issue of sugar. In your Communication, you have also given guidance. However, the great wisdom which you have brought should also be brought to bear, so that despite the fact that the House has its orders and rules, and it is a House of rules, those rules should not gag the House from dealing with any issues that affect the public. The sugar issue remains a big issue that Kenyans and farmers will be expecting this House to deal with. So, in your wisdom, ...
