Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Kenya is mourning today and Kenyans at large are mourning because of the loss of the former President of Kenya, President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. He was a leader. He was President for 24 years. As witnessed today, many Kenyans thronged Parliament to view his body. Therefore, I send my condolences and those of Laisamis Constituency. We say pole and my God rest his soul in eternal Peace. Thank you.

Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity again. As I had earlier indicated, there is no way, for heaven’s sake, we can deliberate by zeroing in only on the leakage of the confidential material without touching on the other matter because they are inter-connected. The Member has actually been humiliated. I, therefore, would like your guidance on how best we need to approach this matter. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I really would like to support this particular Bill very sincerely. Sometime back, we had an accident in Mombasa where a vehicle which was loaded into a ferry slipped off and was submerged in the Indian Ocean.

It was very unfortunate that Kenyans watched helplessly while reaching out to the Kenyan Navy to come and rescue the victims. This draws me back to this Bill. I did not have the opportunity to speak on the Floor of the House at that time, but I am very lucky having come across such a Bill which touches on issues of security, first aid, self-defence and safety skills for our children in schools.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker., allow me narrate a story to you of Rwanda. Rwanda went through genocide between Tutsis and Hutus. I came across a story of two school children from the Tutsi family who as they were trying to run away for their safety, came across water. One of the brothers swam across the water. The other brother who did not have swimming skills drowned and perished in the water as he was being pursued by the attackers. So, I wish swimming is also in included in the curriculum so that our children learn swimming skills. Today you will ...

I also refer to the teaching of our Prophet Amsalem who said teach your children how to swim, throw a spear and ride a horse. All these things need to be in this Bill so that we educate our children in schools so that by the time they leave the school and join the general society, they at least, have some knowledge about what needs to be done in emergency situations.

You can imagine that unfortunate lady sitting in her car and drowning and she could not help herself. The best places where we need to introduce these skills are in schools. Today when you walk out there and see a bus branded in yellow, you conclude it is a school bus. So, I challenge CS Magoha and his staff to wake up and guide our children so that in case of fire in schools, they do not have to put grills as if children are in prison. They should make use of technology. They can use CCTVs everywhere. I wanted ...

Yeah, I was being pressed by my shoe and I was just taking care of my shoelaces. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I was prepared to speak to the earlier Motion, which was on the NCIC. It is because of the fact that I come from a marginalised community where we have minority tribes like the Rendille. I wanted to contribute so much without emotion that it is very unfortunate that every single commission whose members are appointed, and the fact that the Constitution has provided…
