electricity. Electricity is associated with a number of good benefits. One among them is increase of business opportunities, which in the long run creates employment. Our institutions of higher learning produce quite a number of graduates each year and the economy might not accommodate all of them in terms of employment. However, they can take this opportunity, go the entrepreneurial way and develop their own businesses.

I want to speak on the restorative fund that the President said he has directed the Treasury to create. The fund‟s worth should be Kshs10billion in the next two years. This is a good gesture. There have been a number of historical injustices in the past. Most of them are based on land issues. The Maasai community, to which I belong, suffered a lot during the colonial time and during successive post-independence Governments as far as land is concerned. I expect that this restorative fund will cover those areas of historical land injustices. The apology from the President of the ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me speak on the corruption issue. It is, indeed, a cancer. It lowers the economic growth of a country and also discourages investments. I belong to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives that is mentioned in the Report. I share the sentiments of hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona that it is wrong to collectively condemn a Committee instead of going for the individuals concerned. I thank the Speaker because he is going to give direction on this matter this afternoon.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion as amended. I agree with the Mover of the Motion that majority of the Kenyan people are not aware of the laws that are made in this country. There are people in this country and in this Century who are not aware of a number of articles that are in the new Constitution. I want to agree with my colleagues who said that the literacy levels in this country are low. Therefore, it calls for all the laws in this country to be translated ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When you look at the Asian Tigers’ development record and their local languages, it seems that there is a correlation between their languages and their level of development. This is because the people understand their laws and languages. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in this country wherever there is a sign in English there should be a sign in Kiswahili that will make people understand it better. I agree that it is good for Kenyans to be innovative and creative as far as this issue of language is concerned. When it comes to agreements - ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. This Bill is very important for this country. I believe that is why it is a constitutional requirement Bill as is stated in Article 261(1) of the Constitution. Most of the audit queries facing organisations or companies revolve around procurement. One of the most beautiful clauses of this Bill is, perhaps, the maximisation of value for money, promotion of local industries, sustainable development and protection of the environment. When you look at it, a number of queries are being raised in relation to environmental ...
