I support this Statement with the hope that it will address issues that affect our constituencies. All that matters at the end of it all is how the constituencies will benefit. I say that because in terms of equitable distribution of resources, we are not all equal. When I look at the constituency that I come from, we still have problems with the roads. Our roads are impassable. I hope that this Statement will address issues affecting those roads.

In my constituency, we produce wheat and every time we harvest wheat, there is always a problem of brokers. They import wheat and, hence, we do not get the market for it. This is what our people expect to develop their families and take their children to school. With the poor roads, without driers, and the market for our wheat, we are always at a loss. Every year we argue. We have a problem with the Government because we have no market for our wheat. I expect the Statement to look into the roads and electricity connectivity. We all need ...

I support this Report since I feel it will look into injustices that happened to other constituencies. We are not all equal. There are people with tarmac roads and yet, in Narok North Constituency, we do not have even a single one. That is where we get wheat and potatoes. That is where Nairobi is fed from. When it rains like it did yesterday, I am called by everybody since they expect me to build roads for them. Looking at the resources, they are not there. I want to ask the Government to look into those constituencies or areas that ...

With those few remarks, I want to support the Statement with the hope that we will see an equitable distribution of resources. We also have Eneng’eetia National Cereals and Produce Board where those people are supposed to take their wheat when it is raining and yet, we have no driers there. I still want to remind the Government that we also need driers for our people so as to protect their wheat from being destroyed in the farms.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this amendment by Hon. Peter Masara. The police are a very important unit in this country. We all need to appreciate the work that they do. We need to look at the issue of their salaries because there is no way we can support them if we do not give them enough money to take care of their families. The police are responsible for guarding banks. They are the first people to show up during exams. The situation they live in has changed and reduced them to beggars. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support this Bill. Before I go on, I want to congratulate Hon. Joshua Mwilu for bringing it. This Bill is very important because it is recognising the people who assist the needy at the grassroots.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am happy to see this Bill because I work with communities at the grassroots. Social workers will be advisors to our people once we promote them. People will have someone to run to, especially those from communities that still practise female genital mutilation. Some communities still force their daughters to get married. Sometimes, they have no one to run to. Social workers should be well-trained professionals so as to guide, advice and counsel people with problems.

With those reasons, I support the Bill. Their welfare should be looked into and they should be paid salaries. They should be recognised because they work in our communities.
