Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to support this Bill. There is a basic issue that I want to raise in this Bill. The way the revenue has been given out, let us be very conscious of what we are doing. The public debt stands at Kshs414 billion. What is left to the national Government is Kshs385 billion. If you remove the money given to the TSC, the money left to the national Government is only Kshs226 billion. As Members, we should do oversight not only on devolution, but let us see what the governors are ...

national identity cards, it is true that we need to have a system which is like the passport system. You can easily be traced by pressing a button. You give your passport and somebody keys in your data. We need to invest in the Kenya Police. We cannot achieve anything as a nation unless we have improved our security. With those few remarks, I support this Bill. But there is need to do amendments on this report and be serious as Kenyans so that we can develop this country for all of us.

From the outset, I want to say that I am opposing the Report but before I say that, we have a gym down here. It is supposed to make us fit and when we go there, we are given instructions that when you start you will feel pain. They say there is no gain without pain.

On the security report that we have here, the Speaker had given a good ruling. He gave the meaning of “investigation”. I want to be very specific; going through the Report I see what the Committee has come up with. It was supposed to investigate, inquire into and report with facts; with accurate information on what had happened. What have they come up with? It is something very generalized.
