Bw. Naibu Spika, nasimama kuunga mkono Hoja hii. Kama kungekuwa na usawa, hata hatungeongea sana na kusema kwamba tunauliza Serikali ama kaunti ziangalie masuala ya waalimu ambao watafundisha watoto wetu wachanga ambao ndio wanaanza elimu ya msingi. Lakini ingekuwa jambo la kawaida na la haki kuhakikisha kwamba Serikali kuu inazingatia masilahi ya walimu wa elimu ya chekechea ili kuhakikisha kwamba pale pahali walimu wa zile sehemu zingine walipowekwa, vile vile walimu hawa wamewekwa pale.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to know whether it is in order to correct Sen. G.G. Kariuki for saying that the Kikuyus fought for the Independence of this country. The correct position is that Kenyans fought for the Independence of this country.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is it in order for Sen. G.G. Kariuki to keep on provoking Kenyans? What we are challenging here is the statement he made that Kikuyus used homemade guns to fight for Independence. The correct position is that Kenyans fought for Independence. In Kapenguria, there were six Kenyans who were not drawn from one community. We all fought for the Independence of this country. For the purpose of the HANSARD, it is important for Sen. G.G. Kariuki to state that Kenyans fought for Independence and not to bring up the issue of a ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. Before I do so, I wish to propose an amendment. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- THAT, the Motion be amended by inserting the word “preface” between the words “on” and “the loan” appearing in the sixth line. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this small amendment is just meant to make sure that those who are given the money should not just think that it is free.

Madam Temporary Speaker, the process of vetting has been there. The Motion by Sen. Mositet gives more powers to the Authority to give guns to as many people as possible. For the sake of informing Sen. (Dr.) Zani, the Motion clarifies, in details, regarding who should be considered for weapons. The amendment talks about business people, Government employees and to cover everybody, it also talks about other persons with special interests. That will allow the vetting to be done widely because, first of all, those who are not known, for instance, people with special interests, will have to be investigated ...
