It will also transform this country and recognise new courses that blend engineering with new technologies such as information and communication technology (ICT), aeronautical engineering, aviation engineering, environmental engineering and irrigation engineering. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I believe that this is the way to go. This Bill is very important for this country. Thank you.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support Hon. Chepkonga’s amendment. This legislation is trying to align itself to our new Constitution. As for my neighbour, Hon. Njuki, because he came late, he does not really know how much we have done in terms of the amendments. Most of them are consequential. He has to learn a lesson in terms of coming early and catching up.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this petition. Village elders are very important people; they support chiefs and by this House supporting this petition we shall be promoting what the President did by increasing the executive powers of the national structures at the county level for county commissioners, the former District Commissioners, District Officers, chiefs and even these elders.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, these elders are critical in curbing crime at the village level, because they know every person and the youth in the village. They can be used even to tackle the security challenges that this country is facing. We really need to go forward and see how we can even remunerate them.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this policy. The GJLOS policy actually attempts to align institutional policies and strategies with the political pillar of Vision 2030. Fundamental in the realization of Vision 2030 is the political pillar. The reforms that are envisaged by GJLOS will then trigger growth in other sectors, particularly the private sector and hence improve the economic pillar as well.

The GJLOS reforms include constitutional implementation, judicial and legal reforms, security and policing reforms, which are very critical in the growth of this country. This policy in turn will enhance enjoyment of the human rights that are enshrined in our Constitution. The policy addresses the fast evolving and dynamic demands of the GJLOS sector. This is notwithstanding the commendable achievement of the GJLOS since its inception or launch in 2003.
