Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Motion and also thank hon. Njenga for bringing it forth. Issues concerning the youth have been properly addressed now in the Constitution. Article 55 mandates the State to take affirmative measures to ensure that the youth access education and training. As such, this Motion seeks to actualize what our Constitution states. I have several reasons for supporting this Motion. For so many years, the attitude of the citizens of this country has not been the best. It has always been considered that those who fail to make it to ...

This is a very important Motion because lack of waste disposal does not only affect the City of Nairobi. I believe that this is a nationwide problem. You will realize that most of our cities do not have a proper waste disposal strategy. As has been stated by my colleagues, those who have had the occasion to travel from Mombasa along the Kisauni Road have seen for themselves. The place is basically littered and is not good for people to live in.

I want to touch on the dumping site known as âMwakirungeâ. This is another notorious area, where we have had people lose their lives. This is because once garbage is dumped there, there are no arrangements to ensure that people who live around that area are taken care of. Because of the high poverty levels within the country and in Mombasa, we had a case in which two women, who had gone to Mombasa to trade, lost their lives when they passed through this dumpsite on their way home. This was between 2002 and

Hon. Speaker, I also wish to join my colleagues in opposing this Procedural Motion. I realize that these are two fundamental issues to be dealt with, that is, marriage and elections. I want us to believe that we will require a good number of days to deliberate on them so that we come up with considered views on the same. I oppose.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I must confess that, probably, before last weekend, I had a different opinion about miraa . But I had a very good opportunity with my friend, hon. Kubai, over the weekend, when we had a retreat. He gave me a lecture on miraa and almost handed over a few leaves to me. But I told him I need time to look into it.

Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion as amended. I must, from the outset, say that I support the Motion as amended. When we speak about children, we must be guided by the express provisions of the Constitution. That is Article 53(2) and, of course, the Children Act. When it comes to children, we are talking about the best interests of the child.
