Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment. There are exemplary things that our children can do and we should be able to recognize that. I want to commend hon. Millie Odhiambo because today she has been very meticulous and truly national.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, like the hon. Member who has just contributed, I would have wished to contribute to the other Bill. But all the same, and with due respect, I want to say that I am particularly touched by the fact that if our children do something heroic, we will be in a position now to honor them. I am saying this because when my son was eight years old, he rescued goats which were being attacked by a swarm of bees. He risked his life and is, therefore, a hero.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I wish to thank hon. Lati for bringing the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. I give it my full support. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to make constituencies the focal point for the distribution of the Equalization Fund.

from, 75 per cent of the constituency gets very little rainfall. Seventy five per cent of the constituency is not good for arable farming. In fact, without irrigation we cannot realize any agricultural development in the bigger part of the constituency. That is why I support that the constituency be the focal point for distribution of funds. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when the colonial government took over our prime lands, they pushed people to my constituency, so that they could be finished by malaria. It is likewise for Suba people, who inhabit my constituency. When that could not work, they ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I wish to comment on the petition that has been presented by my colleague. Hon. Speaker, the tea industry has supported the economy of this country for a very long time. Looking at the performance of the economy, you cannot mention the various sectors that contribute to its performance without touching on the tea industry. The declining prices being awarded to farmers, especially in the last two years; and especially the imposition of Ad Volerem duty has made farmers life quite difficult. This is a tax that we feel strongly should not be levied. It should ...
