Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority is my good friend and my senior in politics, but the debate he is canvassing in this House is not before the House. Actually, it is my first time to learn that there are signatures being collected. But honestly, because we have a lot of business to transact, I do not think it is necessary to dwell on issues that are not before the House.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As we pass this, I commend Hon. Kioni for working hard on Article 100 of the Constitution.

So far, nothing is happening. Even if you ask them how the Women Enterprise Fund is performing, only ten out of 47 will tell you how the Women Enterprise Fund and Uwezo Fund are performing.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to also give my input to this important Report. We interrogated the CEO of this Fund. The Report also includes the Women Enterprise Fund. It is two reports in one. The challenges which have been outlined by the Member for Alego-Usonga are exactly what is in the Report. I can see he really went through the Report keenly. When money was disbursed by the Jubilee Government in 2013/2014, most of the groups which took the money assumed it was for political reasons. From inception, many constituencies did not repay the loan. Every constituency ...
