Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to state that this National Assembly must stand with Kenyans. It must protect the sovereignty of this country. It must display its patriotism by refusing to extend any such contract. The Report is very lenient in saying that: “Any other such agreement should come through Parliament.” We should not have any other such agreement. I believe we should build our capacity. We should run the space centre and let Kenyans benefit from the technology that we have.

I am sure we have trained very many scientists and engineers. It is also very sad. Hon. (Eng.) Gumbo has told me that a Kenyan engineer at San Marco is earning less than a tenth of an Italian technician and yet, we walk proud that we are a free sovereign country. Is it apartheid, racism or plain stupidity on our part?

Hon. Speaker, he is even making it worse. I thought it was ten per cent. The money he was being paid is much less than that amount of money! Let us put an end to it.

The Report recommends that: “The space station should not be administered by the Department of Defence (DOD).” In as much as I agree with that, I do not think the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is the place to administer it. That is because that Ministry has also been mired in so much corruption for many years and we know it is the most rotten Ministry in this country. If that space station leaves DoD, I think it should be administered by the Ministry in charge of Information, Communications and Technology. That is where it needs to be.

With those few remarks, I support. Nigeria, Algeria, South Africa and Egypt, of all countries, have such a space centre.

On a point of information, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to enrich his last comment that we need to know how much we are owed. However, we should not leave it there. They also need to pay us back the amount of money for all those years.

It is information. I am informing him of what I am thinking. They need to pay us back.
