Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the Committee on Education that I will embrace the proposals they have made as amendments to the Bill. I believe that they are intended to make the Bill better and ensure that it can be applied or implemented almost immediately, once it has been enacted. I urge my fellow colleagues to look at the Bill and reflect on the state of vocational training and education in their respective counties, to reflect on the state and status of home craft centers in their respective counties. Ten years after devolution, we have dealt with the ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have observed that certain traditions of the House are being violated. It is our tradition to welcome visitors and the visitors sit in the Gallery as directed by the Speaker. However, when Members are contributing and welcoming visitors, we tend to speak directly to them. The tradition of Parliament is that we address the Chair and any advice should be through the Chair. If we want to provide advice directly to the visitors, we can always retreat with them to the restaurant or outside. That is the correct tradition of Parliament. If we do not ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am looking at the Order Paper for today and on Order No.7. it says - “Statements as listed in the appendix” but there is no appendix to the Order Paper that lists the Statements, at least the ones that I am looking at electronically. That is important so that it allows Members to anticipate the business that will be before the House and where you have an interest, you can prepare yourself to contribute. Will it be in order for the House to be guided on where that appendix is? If it is not there, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the electronic Order Paper that I am looking before me ends at page 144 and I think that is why I raised that concern. If we do not address such small things, it is possible one day that a Speaker sitting on that Chair will not be as civilised and disciplined as you are. It will be very possible that business that has not been processed by the House Business Committee can be sneaked before the House. So, may be the Clerks can amend that so that we can get up to page 146 in the electronic ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the statement by the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing, which I am also a Member. The Chairperson has given a chronology of events relating to the Petition I presented to this House, on behalf of the residents of Mfangano, Takawiri, Remba and other islands. They have been disenfranchised since Independence due to lack of a public ferry. When I presented that Petition, I believed the Senate would be in a position to deliberate on the matter in a bipartisan manner, that is shielded from the politics of the day that ...
