I know Hon. Moses Kuria has not been around for long but, you cannot have one Member standing while another one is on his feet. It is provided for in the Standing Orders. He should also maintain social distancing. He is discussing Kiambu politics while the House is discussing serious issues.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to oppose this Report. I do not support in totality. They have not given this House a convincing reason why we should support their decision. We can also say that we will give the Committee Members time to ventilate their Report here. The views of the Committee Members have been presented and have been moved by the Chairperson and seconded by one of the Members. That was enough to lay ground for the House to know what they have decided, but we cannot get rid of Mr. Ng’ang’a Njuguna because of his ...

Coming back to Ms. Leila, this is someone that I know very well. She is a Kenyan who has a very outstanding curriculum. This is someone who we cannot doubt her capacity to perform in this job. The only issue that has been raised is that she does not come from the northern region of Kenya. We have ethnic and regional balance. Ethnically, she is a Somali like Hon. Duale, who comes from North-Eastern. I am also a Somali who comes from Migori. You cannot use this against me when I am given a job tomorrow. Once you are ethnically ...

There are teachers who are serving in other sectors of the country. They must also allow other Kenyans to serve in the education sector. The only qualification they were looking for is a retired teacher and he was not available, but Leila was available. With those few remarks, I oppose the Report. I urge the House to reject the Report in totality and let us allow these Kenyans to serve the people.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya and Members who sit here are honorable. This is not a KUPPET meeting where Hon. Milemba - who I know is a first timer here - is claiming that what we are doing here is propaganda. He has claimed that what we are doing here is propaganda, and it has gone into the record of the House. It must be expunged. We are not propagandists. We cannot propagate propaganda here. Let that statement be expunged from the records of the House.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am inclined to support the Members who have said that this Fund was special purpose Fund for some work. When you say that the operations, capacity or work has gone down, we need to be given figures. We should know what the railway is doing, what it did last month and what it is doing this month. This Fund was set up for certain issues. It is even better to use the money to pay the loan than use it for operations. Once you take this money to the operations, you open the gates for ...
