Secondly, I want to take an example of West Pokot. I do not know whether people know what they are asking for. When you are in a hardship area, two things will happen. Many people will be looking to go and work in the hardship areas, but when they reach there, they want to live along the highway. We have seen this in West Pokot where most people want to come and work in our county headquarters because they have special interest or to get more money. However, when they reach Kapenguria, they only want to work there and not ...

Hon. Speaker, that is a very good Statement. It is also weighty. Without anticipating debate, we can take two weeks as a committee but you have previously advised Members... Sometimes when we come with Statements, at the end of it, I will be reading the Statement. I cannot take supplementary questions. Maybe the Member has a reason why he is asking that Statement. You advised that we should have a more interactive session between the Cabinet Secretary and the Member. The best advice you have given is to go the Question way. If that was a Question, what I would ...

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause- Transition. 6.A person who, immediately before the commencement of this Act, held office as a Director-General shall be deemed to be appointed under this Act and serve for the unexpired period of his or her term.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this small chance to say something on the NG-CDF. I want to be on record in thanking the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimunya. People do not understand how Hon. Kimunya works. He is just a diplomat. People might misunderstand that. I remember he was being bashed sometime back and yet, he was working really hard. He was not the Chairman and he is not the Chairman of the NG-CDF Committee and so, I thank him. I will follow it up by saying that we are heading to a very ...

over 200 constituencies? That brings other issues into focus. What are we going to do at home? We are supposed to be undertaking development projects. So, I implore the Leader of the Majority Party and our able Chairman, through your Office Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, not to sleep. Let Members be busy at home during this recess through CDF. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to move this Bill. First, I would like to assure the House that, as you communicated earlier, there was further consultation. This is because during the public participation, some members of the public thought that we should not open it to other professions. I want to assure the House this afternoon that, through public participation and consultation, that has been removed and the Bill is retained as it is with or without the proposed amendments. The import is that the Director Generals, as it is provided for in the ...
