Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Wetangula is my senior. I actually refer to him as my dad. However, is he in order to mislead the nation that this Government is so uncaring, yet we know that 23 hours ago, the President of the Republic of Kenya signed the Supplementary Budget and a total of Kshs34,444,813,000 has been allocated by the Government to stabilize the cost of fuel in this Republic? It is completely wrong to assume that the Government is uncaring because yesterday the President signed the Supplementary Budget.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to congratulate the good Senator for Nandi County for bringing this Employment (Amendment) Bill because majority of the people who are affected when it comes to employment or unemployment are the young people that I represent in this House.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I get a lot of complaints through the calls that I receive daily on my phone of people who are always misused by their employers. One of the things that the employers have perfected is they know job opportunities are rare to come by and, therefore, they change the job description at will. In some cases, you will find that someone had been employed as a driver. However, after sometime, he is told that he will be a gardener at half pay. Due to lack of job opportunities, those people have no option, but to take up ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I also want to add my voice on this matter because it is weighty. It is a big shame that the county government has decided not to do the job that they were given by the people of Nyamira.

Madam Deputy Speaker, we are who we are today because our teachers taught us how to read and write, and even how to hold a pen. I do not think there is any of us who can say they never experienced such a thing.

It is extremely inhumane that a county government that has a budget can decide to destroy the future of those young people. What is happening is that they are destroying the future of those children. At that young age is where someone’s destiny is shaped, including how they think. If the teachers are demoralized, there is no way they can give 100 per cent to those children.

Therefore, it is extremely shameful, especially coming from a governor who is perceived to be in Azimio la Umoja Coalition. As Azimio la Umoja Coalition, we do not subscribe to such kind of thing, and this is a shame on him. Moving forward, those are the kind of people we do not want in office. I can see someone laughing here, but even in the next government of “Baba”, those characters should be very far from office. Madam Deputy Speaker, when they are called here, they should be grilled properly. There is no way somebody can be sleeping hungry yet ...

Thank you. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate my senior, Sen. Khaniri, for making such a wonderful Statement. I also do not see sense in us importing those goods that can be locally produced. A total of Kshs400 billion going to one country called China is a lot of money. If even a quarter of this money would be circulating in our economy, it can be a game changer. Madam Deputy Speaker, as it is right now, to import or export goods to China is extremely hard, yet when we are importing from China, it is like we ...
