Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I note that this is a matter that affects counties. I, therefore, request that you defer putting of the question to another date.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to say that the Committee was given about 14 days from the day that I raised the Statement on Mashuru zone. Mashuru is a zone where 58 teachers out of 134 were interdicted. Out of the 58 teachers, 22 are head teachers. This left about four schools without a single teacher. I had a very sad incident where the husband and wife were both interdicted. The wife was so expectant and that same day she was admitted in hospital, losing her child because they could not imagine going back home as breadwinners ...

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to join you in welcoming the students from Bondeni Primary School. I thank them for coming here to see what we do in Parliament.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to continue from where I left when I started off with this Bill. I was just saying that we seem to be having a department in the Office of the President that deals with some kind of principles on national cohesion and values and then we have the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) that deals with integration and cohesion.

28 May 2019 in Senate:
We were informed, as we consulted stakeholders, that the NCIC gets less funds because most go to the Directorate. This Bill talks about coordination, better planning and programing of national cohesion and integration issues. It is time we had proper coordination right from a commission that is rightly in place and probably bring all these issues on values and cohesion under the same umbrella. This Bill seeks to provide a mechanism for the proper coordination and implementation of interventions aimed at promoting national cohesion and peace building.
