We have been given promises and I will ask him to follow them up with the Ministry. This is because in my place, Igembe North, the road between Maili Tatu and Mutuati, the contractor has left. After building the road, he cut off business people from it. So, I would like him to make a follow up, so that what he is telling us is what is happening on the ground.

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support these amendments but with some considerations. I support the amendment proposed to the Criminal Procedure Code. It is important to introduce these provisions and to make clear the circumstances under which the court may decline to grant bail to the accused persons.

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The other thing is the KPA Act. Amending this to provide the opportunity or possibility for an inland port to have a proper mandate will hasten the development of transport.

Tourism is a sector that requires to be looked into very seriously. This is one of the key sectors considered in Vision 2030. If you look at the economic pillar, you will find that it is the first item. This is because of the potential that the tourism sector has in the creation of employment opportunities.

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also support the amendment on the Leadership and Integrity Act of 2012. That is No.19. This proposes that State officers are prohibited from engaging in public collection which in many cases creates room for abuse of office. This will also lower the burden on hon. Members. Sometimes when people ask for these collections, it is based on the offices that people hold. In essence, this creates room for corruption. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: There is also the proposed amendment as far as the National Security Council Act of 2012 is concerned.

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also have the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) Act of 2013. This is No.5. The inclusion of the Principal Secretary for Finance is very important. Since we passed a legislation here and it has been accepted that fees for primary schools and secondary schools is waived, it is important that we have the Principal Secretary being part and parcel of the Council. view
