Hon. Deputy Speaker, is the hon. Member in order to mislead the House by saying that the House has no mandate to interrogate the names that were submitted by the President? She also said that the buck stops with the President and whatever he submits must be passed. Is she in order to state that and purport to deprive the Committee its mandate which has been given by the Standing Orders?

Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek your indulgence and guidance on a matter that I feel I should put to the attention of the Speaker and the Members of the House. It is an issue which I feel is cross cutting. It is an issue that is affecting all the constituencies. As much as they say that matters of the counties are in the domain of the Senate, constituencies form part of the counties that we belong to. So, instead of addressing this matter maybe in funerals or in the Press, I felt that this is the best place ...

As you are aware, counties are employing people. At the moment, there is recruitment going on through their Public Service Boards. There are advertisements always appearing in the newspapers, that you must have qualifications of a degree and five or ten years experience. To be a member of a local Land Control Board, they are saying that you must have ten years experience. If you have five or ten years experience in a job, why will you leave that job and go to a job somewhere else just because you want to be employed somewhere else? This is deterring our ...

I feel most obliged that as the representative of the people of Suna East, who have many degrees and are rotting in the streets, I want to put it to the attention of the National Assembly that a policy must be created on how this recruitment can be done. This can originate from the Senate but it must come here even if it relates to counties. I must speak here as a representative of the people because maybe there, the guys are very old. So, the ten years experience might be found only there. Like me, I do not have ...

I wanted to put that forward because it pained me so much when I saw young people like me who have gone to seek employment in the counties being chased away on the basis that they do not have experience. The only people with experience are the people with grey hair. Young people like us, what experience do we have? The only experience I have is giving birth to one child or two children. Is that enough experience to give you a job? So, I believe that we need to come up with a policy to make sure that we ...

Hon. Speaker, I am seeking your indulgence because this issue cuts across all the constituencies. If I can get the support of one or two Members, we can have a basis on how to fight next.

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Bill as amended. This is a very timely Bill that is required mostly in the financial sector of our country. Kenyans have lost a lot of money in banks that have collapsed. For that reason, Kenyans need protection more than any other time at the moment.

As the Chair is aware, even when you lose your money in those collapsed banks-- - Even the collateral that they have sometimes are sold fraudulently, without consulting you or informing you. So, this Bill is timely. It is one that will serve the best interest of Kenyans financially.

As you are aware, this Bill has been there but the amendments that are being proposed at the moment will make it better for Kenyans because they introduce many aspects including good corporate governance of the Kenya Deposits Insurance Corporation.
