Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As I support this amendment which is good, in my mind, I am trying to think if there is nothing else in Kenya Roads Board Act which can be amended to make the roads maintenance fuel levy fund to be more efficient. I am wondering why it is only the aspect of the Master’s degree that the Committee saw to amend in the whole Act. There are so many things that need to be done, so that the roads maintenance fuel levy fund can be used efficiently.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As we make progress, we are still discussing the amendments by Hon. Millie Odhiambo. The statement by the Leader of the Majority Party is completely misleading this House. If I plant tea, rear cattle or keep camels, does it mean that I should not legislate on anything that I do in my life? That is gagging Members. His statement should be removed from the record. Because I farm tea and it is my passion, does it mean that I have a conflict of interest?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to give my comment on this Petition by my colleague, Hon. Gichimu. This is one of the roads that are dilapidated.

I know that road from Kutus very well. It has stalled for many years. There was a time I visited that constituency during the 11th Parliament and the Member for that constituency was still complaining about that road. There ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wanted to briefly comment on this Petition presented by my good friend, Hon. Brighton. Tea issues have become the order of the day in this House. Just yesterday, I asked two Questions regarding tea issues because of what is happening around. Farmers have received very little money this year - an average of Kshs11 per kilogramme in every factory. It is important that we revert back to when we had KTDA and the Government had interest in tea. That is where we are going wrong. To make sure that this is handled comprehensively, I ...

Today, I received a letter from Sen. Cheruiyot Aaron, the Kericho Senator, requesting all Members of Parliament from tea-growing areas to meet on Tuesday. Tea is a very weighty matter. The Committee should handle this with the seriousness it deserves so that our farmers can benefit from their farms.
