We should look out for embassies that are dilapidated rather than fishing through every embassy to bring an answer that is difficult to zero in on.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, MTRH serves almost all the counties in the western region starting from Turkana County to Migori County. As the Committee looks into this issue, they should also find out about the hyped programme of building a brand new MTRH in Eldoret. That hospital was to cost of Kshs28 billion, and I understand that a foundation stone was laid at some point. What happened to that project? The talk at that point was that they were going to vacate the old district hospital and leave it for the county as they have a brand new MTRH in ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the idea of a county hall of fame. However, this is a very poorly drafted Bill. The Bill does not bring out what one expects to create a hall of fame for the reason that I will give. I urge Sen. Dullo that in Clause 4, she obligates every county to have a hall of fame. Clause 4 should read, ‘Each county shall establish a county hall of fame’ not ‘Each county may establish a county hall of fame.’ That will ensure that each county has a hall of fame where the heroes and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Prof. Bethwell Ogot has literally taught the whole of Kenya. When we recognize him and just write his name in a Hall of Fame is an assault on the integrity and dignity of those we are recognizing. We must restructure this Bill seriously. When we go to the Committee Stage, I will invite Sen. Fatuma or whoever sent her to move the Bill, to bring a restructured Bill that tells us, for example, if we are recognizing a Pokot pastoralist, what do we confer on him, so that he can be an example to others and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in very rare cases. If for example, you are a fake professor, you pretended to have published what you never published, taught in universities you have never visited and you are discovered, first, you must be prosecuted for fraud and upon conviction that then can make a case. For you to be struck off the role of Hall of fame, it must have a judicial process or
