It is a small Bill and I do not want to belabour the point. Therefore, with those few remarks, I wish to support.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, I wish to say that I support this Bill. I equally wish to thank Hon. Wamalwa for moving it. It is true that we have moved from the one party system to a multiparty system. There are so many political parties existing now, whether in Parliament or even outside there. The truth of the matter is that political parties actually find a place in our Constitution. If you look at Article 91 of our own Constitution, there are responsibilities that have been bestowed upon political parties. Under Article 91, ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I wish to support this Motion. The only justice we will do to Prof. Kaimenyi is to provide him with an opportunity to appear before a National Assembly committee and explain himself. I wish to encourage Members of this august House to pass this Motion, so that all these allegations that have been leveled against him- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

-- He should have an opportunity to come and clear himself. This is a historic Motion; as a House, we have an opportunity to redefine ourselves. I support.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to oppose this amendment. You will realise that if this amendment is carried, there will be no consistence. I do not see why one should serve for two years, probably get a rest and come back. If we had a vision to implement, how is it possible? I would probably have admired a situation where one is even eligible for re- election after the first and thereafter, he is not eligible to contest. As the amendment is, I oppose.

I must say at the outset that the institution of marriage and by extension, the family, is very important. Therefore, it should not be frustrated by issues of procedure, bureaucracy and expenses. In this regard, we should decentralise the function of issuance of marriage certificates, so that the ordinary wananchi can access those services.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to point out three very important issues. The first one is the issue of accessibility. For so many years, people have avoided travelling long distances to what used to be district headquarters to be issued with marriage certificates. With devolution in place, it is quite easy. That is why I support the case for decentralising those services to the sub-county level. I am sure that, subsequently, they will be devolved further to the ward level. If that happens, it will take care of the costs. It is quite expensive for people to travel ...

Secondly, I would like to point out the fact that immediately we decentralize that function, job opportunities will emerge for professionals and the youth in the counties. We have been told that currently, there are only 14 registrars dealing with issues of marriage. In conclusion, I would like us to look at devolution with services of this nature in mind. There are many offices in the counties. We have the sub-county, the ward and village administrators in place. Of course, the county commissioners and the deputy county commissioners are also there. Some of those services can be provided through those ...
