Pia, kule kwenye hazina ya kaunti ni vizuri pia waziri wa kaunti apewe nafasi atoe pesa kwa niaba ya county assembly na executive. Naunga mkono Mswada huu wa kuhakikisha mabunge yetu ya kaunti yamepewa nguvu za kufanya kazi. La mwisho kabisa---

Bw. Naibu Spika, nitamalizia kwa kusema kuwa, hata tukiwapatia wawakilishi wa kaunti Ward Fund, tukubaliane kuwa kazi ya gavana ni kufanya miradi na wawakilishi wa bunge la kaunti kazi yao ni uangalizi. Hivi sasa hakuna tofauti ya mwakilishi wa bunge la kaunti na waziri. Wawakilishi wa kaunti vile vile wanafanya miradi. Wabunge wa Bunge la Kitaifa wanafanya miradi ya National Government –

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the Statement by the Majority Leader was being read, he kept referring to the Committee on Land, Public Works, and Housing and Urban Development. What I want to clarify is whether that Committee has been changed because ordinarily, the Committee is called Lands, Environment, and Natural Resources. I just wanted that clarification.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to support Sen. Kavindu Muthama's Statement on a 100 per cent transition to secondary and tertiary institutions. All children must achieve education. Kenya is a signatory to Article 26 of the 1948 Declaration on Human Rights and the right to education. However, many factors have impeded this. As long as secondary and tertiary education funding depends on the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), you are not likely to meet the 100 percent transition. The NG-CDF is given in a discriminatory manner. As long as Members of Parliament (MPs) patronise that NG-CDF, if ...

Right now, we have the Junior Secondary school (JSS), which is not financed through NG-CDF. Many children are falling by the wayside because JSS fees are being charged, and we do not have NG-CDF funding JSS. We need to look for a modality of financing, even JSS because we lose many children at the JSS level. The new funding model for financing higher education is not clear. Some people have been put in high clusters and will not achieve university and tertiary education.
