Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this opportunity to support this Statement. It is quite unfortunate that we are taking such a great parastatal that has been assisting our famers to the Defence Forces without any legal framework.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The military does not have the talent and management skills that can replace going out to look for better managers.

For that reason, we, as the Senate, should stamp our authority and deny the Defence Forces from taking over KMC and any other institution.

children is encouraging. She has written, published and distributed books on sign language using her own resources and her innate desire to contribute on matters of education is overwhelmingly pleasant. Madam Deputy Speaker, as one of us, I am certain that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve is capable of pushing the interests of the African child and her agenda as a country in support of education of the vulnerable children who are at great risk of missing out on education. It is worth noting that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve was once the Vice Chairperson of the National Council of Nomadic Education in Kenya. ...
