Asante sana, Naibu Mwenyekiti wa Muda. Nataka kupinga mabadiliko ambayo yamewekwa hapa kwa sababu ukiangalia hali ya mtoto msichana katika nchi yetu ya Kenya wakati wa kutumia zile sodo inakuwa ni shida. Kwa hivyo, kama tutaangalia ushuru huu kama utalipiwa kule juu, itamaanisha ya kwamba tutazuia wale ambao wanatengeza hizi sodo katika nchi hii kwa sababu bei ya sodo itapanda juu zaidi na mtoto msichana hataweza kupata nafasi kununua ile sodo wakati anataka kuitumia. Kwa hivyo, napinga mabadiliko ambayo yamewekwa katika Mswada huu. Asante.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendment because it will enable the KRA to have enough revenue for other operations.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The findings of the PIC on the financial mismanagement at the YEDF are very annoying, especially when you look at the big number of youths in this country looking for funds to start micro and small businesses. We have a Board that is mismanaging the Fund by not giving the youth what they need so that they can employ themselves. The YEDF was started to fund the youth. They are expected to borrow money from the Fund to engage themselves in small businesses. The youth do not have the kind of collateral sought by commercial ...

Ahsante Naibu Spika wa Muda. Nasimama kuwapa shangwe Wakenya ambao walihudhuria michezo ya Olimpiki katika nchi ya Brazil. Tunasema asanteni sana na pongezi kwa kazi nzuri mliyofanya. Sisi kama wanaspoti katika Bunge letu la Kitaifa la Kenya na nikiwa Mwenyekiti katika ule mchezo wa voliboli, tunasema pongezi sana. Tunaoimba Serikali yetu iiangalie mambo ya wachezaji wanapoenda kutuwakilisha katika zile nchi za mbali. Ni vizuri tuangalia hali yao, vile watakaa kule wanaenda na vile watarudi baada ya kuhudhuria hiyo michezo ili walete sifa katika nchi yetu.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I take the Floor, I just want to pass my congratulations to you for being appointed one of our assistant Speakers in the House. I rise to support this Motion and thank Hon. Odanga for bringing it to the House, especially when we are seeing a number of schools being burnt by students in various places in the country.

It is very important for schools to have chaplains. However, we should ask ourselves if those chaplains are going to be qualified persons. That is very important. Before we hand over our children to chaplains, we should know their qualifications. We, as parents, teachers and staff in schools must know the qualifications of chaplains joining our school community.

It will also be good because chaplains are more likely to provide guidance to students on issues concerning human relations and welfare services. We understand that most students, especially those in boarding schools, have no one to turn to when they have problems. They have no soft landing when they are surrounded by issues that are disturbing them. So, it will be very important to have qualified chaplains in school to take care of our children and listen to them. It will also be important because usually, chaplains provide prevention and are a rescue team to our children. Our children ...

The chaplains will also help students to find a better way of dealing with issues ranging from family breakdown to loneliness, drug abuse, stress and anxiety while in school. It is very important to have chaplains in school. I stress the fact that the chaplains must be qualified. Otherwise we might end up handing over our children to unqualified chaplains, who may change and abuse them and yet chaplains should be in school on a rescue mission.

The other reason I support this Motion is that the chaplains will also help to improve the lives of these young people while in school. Therefore, it is very important for schools and the Government to look for ways and means of hiring chaplains as part of the non-teaching staff in schools. We should make sure that every school has a chaplain who can help the principal, the teachers and the staff in counselling our children. This will help bring down the issues that we are seeing in schools lately, namely the burning down of schools by students just because ...
