Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank the Petitioner for exercising his right to petition this House. Considering that this House is coming to the end of its tenure, we must ask ourselves if the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) looked at the issue of pending bills across all counties. If this House had more time, we would have received 1,000 similar petitions. This is because thousands and thousands of youth and women who were given contracts like this one that cost Kshs900,000 and the job was completed in June 2014, have not been paid. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to join my colleagues in welcoming the visitors who are up there. If by chance I do not come back to this House I will join them as a PhD student. I hope they will welcome me even though it is very unlikely that I will not be coming back to this House. I want to challenge the PhD students that this is a conversation I had in my county on the County Education Day.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do agree. It is just that a politician and a Phd seem to be two different animals but sometimes there is point of convergence. The challenge with the Phd students is the inverse relationship between literacy levels and poverty levels. I do want to encourage the students and the intellectuals seated up there that we must translate what we learn and the research that we are doing into prosperity for our people. That is my challenge and I do hope that we will be seeing ground breaking research from JKUAT. I do wish you well ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering that this was one of the grand projects that the current administration promised, and considering that the Chair person says that a decision has not been made, and there are still feasibility studies being undertaken, which means execution has not started; would the Chairperson then just confirm to us that this is a failed project under the current administration?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the statement read by the Vice Chairperson of the Committee says a lot, but what is important has not been mentioned. We are told that the National Treasury wrote a report or a letter to the Committee and declined to implement the Committee’s recommendations. I thought that the essence of the request of a statement by Sen. Sang was what the National Government has done in terms of implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Labour and Social Welfare. Could you direct that we get the specific reasons the National Treasury feels that the recommendations ...
