Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with Mr. Baiya that this Schedule is a bit elaborate; therefore, it serves the good purpose. Therefore, I support it. You will notice that in the

Bw. Naibu Mwenyekiti wa Muda, nataka kumpasha habari Ms. Karua kwamba mimi natoka Laikipia na nina ng’ombe. Sitaki hao ng’ombe wakamuliwe na jirani. Nataka kuongeza kwamba wakati mimi Mkenya nimelipa ushuru, hao ni ng’ombe wangu na sitaki Mkenya mwingine achukue ushuru wangu, akapora na kujifanya tajiri. Hiyo ni kukamua ng’ombe wangu na ni kunigandamiza mimi ambaye nimelipa kodi.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, of course, I support. We have been told to accept that this Grand Coalition Government is strenuous at best and, sometimes, it takes time. So, we should admit that in a Grand Coalition Government, frankly, decision-making takes longer. We have been asked to accept here that the process of law making has become elongated because of the

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have been told in this House that we are looking for saints and angels but I believe that we are a religious society by and large. So, it is good that we aspire to have leaders who are more Godly, saintly and angelic. By our own admittance, 30 per cent of budgetary resources are lost to corruption every year. Every year, we kick out over 400,000 young people out of Standard Eight and yet we can take them up to Four IV with only an additional cost of Kshs19 billion. Thirty per ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not that there are no laws written in Kenya but it is the absence of the rule of law; that we do not live within the laws that we have passed. So, I support those who have proposed that we should improve this Bill. I support them because, and I want to quote Einstein, that if we do the same thing repeatedly and expect a different result, that surely is insanity. Fifty years after Independence, most of us cannot afford bread and we still kick out 450,000 young people aged 13 and 14 ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the construction of the jua kali sheds also known as Constituency Industrial Development Centres (CIDCs) at Kaiboi Town, Mosop Constituency has stalled since 2010. (b) The CIDCs including the one in Mosop were part of the Economic Stimulus Programme. Each of these CIDCs was allocated Kshs2.5 million. So far, Kaiboi utilized Kshs463,000. At the end of the Financial Year 2009/2010, the balance of the money unutilized was surrendered for re-voting to the Treasury. Once these funds are made available, my Ministry will immediately resume construction of this CIDC ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member is right that the construction of the CIDCs was to be done in all the 210 constituencies. In fact, we embarked on that work. This specific CIDC had several challenges. The land on which this facility is being built did not become available until February, 2010. Thereafter, we signed a contract with the contractor in March, 2010. The Government procedure is that we cannot prepay. So, the contractors are expected to undertake the work and present certificates to show that this work has been done and the Government pays thereafter. Those were the reasons why ...
