Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it seems that the Government is tired. Since the Legislature is part of the Government of the Republic of Kenya, we cannot allow ourselves to go on recess when we have unfinished business. We have very important Bills which Kenyans require to be passed. One of the most important is the Bill that deals with the issue of organised crime. We, as a House, needed to pass this Bill before we go for elections. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second very critical thing is to give our security organs the mandate to deal with insecurity. We ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was talking about the issue of unfinished businesses. We know that this country has benefited a great deal from the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We had recommended that the percentage of the CDF be increased to at least 7.5 per cent. That is unfinished business. We should not go on recess unless or until we finish that. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a critical issue which this House must deal with. That is the issue of Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, which has just been abandoned. We should ensure that Parliament is independent of ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I saw the light and thought my time was up. That was Mr. Kombe's time, therefore, I still have five minutes left. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank hon. Members for throwing out yesterday's Bill. That was sale of this nation. The woman of this country deserves representation. However, the way the Bill was moved yesterday was as a result of pressure from international Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs). We cannot allow this nation to be on sale.

Therefore, I would like to congratulate hon. Members for throwing out that Bill. It was not because we hate our women, but this country was on auction yesterday. We, however, managed to stamp out that. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other thing I would like to comment on is the issue of Ministers who are doing their job. I would like to thank the Minister for Tourism and Wildlife. He promised me that he would visit my area and see the people. I report now that we went with him and we have now resolved the issue of Oloirien. Mr. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not only the problem of insecurity that affects performance as regards to education. The Ministry has admitted that there is a shortage of over 50,000 teachers. Due to that, there is no way we can have our children performing, if they are not having teachers. The quality of education is definitely going to drop. The Assistant Minister has just said that politicians have become trigger-happy. I would like to ask him: How many trigger-happy politicians have been arrested, including those who are raiding police stations?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister then equip and post personnel to the four completed dispensaries in my constituency?
