We also have a youth league which has youthful women. We have a national league office, ward league, polling station league, constituency and county leagues. We have two good roads of leadership within the party. Our National Executive Council complies with the two-third gender rule. The other political parties should have structures which should comply with the two-third gender rule for us to lead by example. We call upon the appointing authorities to do the same. I applaud my sister for coming up with this Motion because women are the backbone of the economy of this country. They are ones ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. It is sad that we are talking about students not going to school when we have young students in the gallery. What message are we sending to these students? Are we telling them that they have no hope if they do not get a mean grade of A in the exams? Discontinuing over 3,000 students is something that calls for urgent attention and serious action against the people who have perpetrated it. I find that act to be discriminatory. Discontinuing those students means that one is targeting areas that do ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Report prepared by the team that was led by Sen. Ndwiga. I want to thank them for tabling it very fast.

strongly. This is the way to go between the Senate and the National Assembly. I wish we could just mediate and agree on a lot of these things. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is sad to think that the National Assembly keeps on talking about the Senate while we here also keep talking about them. If we do not agree on these Bills, the person who will suffer is the citizen down there. Any time that matters have to go for mediation, it holds the services that the people we represent should be receiving. I thank the Committee for expediting this ...

With the Ruaraka land saga, I wondered whether we thought about leaving a legacy at that time. Does it mean that at that time the citizens did not deserve some good service that we should be proud of tomorrow? Are we proud of this House having left some record that shows that people voted against recommendations of a Committee that indicted CSs in this Republic? Is that the legacy that we should have left at that particular time? I think we should be serious. It is either legacy or no legacy. We should not talk about legacy only when it ...
