Investigations should be done immediately. When we talk about management, we should not leave out the board of directors. In my opinion, even the Members of Parliament within the Mumias Sugar belt that time should be investigated. What were they doing when that factory was collapsing?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a very worried person because for the time I have been in this House since morning, we are here to support or not to support the recommendations on record.

We are lucky, we, as Turkanas.” Now, people who come from Mumias, like us, and who have not been considered, what are we supposed to do? I thought that we are supposed to only talk about the records. If that is the case, this is tribalism of the highest ...

Kakamega County has no nominee out of the 30 nominees in the various departments. It is important to note that Kakamega County has over 3 million residents. We found Aidah Munano to be very competent in her job. We know that she has done a lot of work. Currently, she is the Director of Housing in the Ministry. We have challenges in small towns like Mumias where we have slums that need upgrading. We expect ...

Dr. Maringa has been an Advisor of Infrastructure in Rwanda. Rwanda is a country which is credited with almost zero tolerance to corruption. We know he is going to take this department a notch higher. This young man, William Nyakera Irungu, really impressed us when we were vetting him. He is a young man but if you look at his qualifications, you will find that he is a scientist in financial services. He has advised many companies.

Mrs. Karigithu is definitely qualified. She is an expert in maritime operations. She is responsible for our membership in the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). When we had a meeting in May, we were rated number eight for the first time since 2008. She will do a good job.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support Hon. Were’s amendment.
