Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also join my colleagues in contributing to this Motion. First, I thank the Chairperson and the entire membership of the Committee because they have done a marvellous job. I applaud the initiative of the leadership of this House, under the stewardship of the Speaker, for dividing the PIC into three. It has made Parliament’s work very efficient. We should emulate the same with other Committees that have a heavy workload. As the Chairperson of the Committee has elaborated, it is true that there is misuse of public funds in many institutions. The ...

At some point, I was a member of the Committee on Implementation and I witnessed some of these things. Once we have debated and passed this Report, the Committee on Implementation should take the initiative to ensure that what we have passed is implemented. The Committee is letting Kenyans down. Kenyans need to have value for their money because they pay taxes. Currently, it is hard to get money; Kenyans are hard hit. The projects we are talking about that are incomplete 35 years later, may be partly our fault. Since it is this House that allocates the money, we ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. From what we have seen, many of us do not pay tax in this country.

The digital space will help this country to collect enough revenue from every corner and reduce borrowing from outside. These regulations are good because they are trying to create space for so many things. The internet has helped in many aspects. I believe that paying taxes in most ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. Education is the key to everything all over the world. I want to thank the Member who has brought this very important Motion. I rise to support it. Talking of the Competency-Based Curriculum, I think our Constitution has a lapse. Our education sector has not been anchored very well in the Constitution. Every Cabinet Secretary who is appointed, especially in Ministry of Education, wants to make decisions as they feel. Right from the late President Daniel arap Moi’s time, there have been many changes on ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Petitioners. We have a lot of hope in this Government that roads and infrastructure is going to be done. We passed a Motion here in 2016 for the tarmacking of about 20 kilometres of roads in every constituency. It started in some constituencies, but in others it has not been done. In my constituency, the Sirisia, Chwele-Lwakhakha Road is bad. Hon. Speaker, you know there are very many trucks there because it is the exit from Uganda to Mombasa. That is one of the problems in my constituency. An ...
