There is a lot of noise, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I need to finish, but there is too much noise.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we know that the funds that are supposed to assist our people have been stolen through corruption. It is very important that anybody who dips their dirty hands into these funds should be punished accordingly. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

The minimum imprisonment period of 10 years and the Kshs4 million fine is inadequate. It should be enhanced to ensure that the petty thieves do not get into the Fund, which is supposed to assist the vulnerable communities. In closing, I would like to urge the House to support the Bill. It is very important. The Attorney-General’s advice is misplaced. This is informed by the fact that he has never lacked anything. There are counties that have been given all the things that should have been spread all over the country. Maybe that is why he does not understand. I ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues in supporting this Bill. First, I want to commend the Mover, Hon. Mbadi. I think this Motion should have been brought 10 years ago. Everybody knows the kind of service parliamentarians give to this country in form of loans and keeping it united. When we see most former MPs living in abject poverty, we wonder what our principles and goals are as a country. I am well aware that the Akiwumi Report was actually reached upon after benchmarking with other Commonwealth countries. In fact, even this amount ...

There are three arms of Government in Kenya. There is the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature. The other two arms get their pension because they are working for this country. Unfortunately, politicians are seen as people who do not deserve any pension in their own country. A sum of Kshs100,000 is very minimal, if you look at the kind of inflation that we face in this country. Those people are dying day by day. In fact, I do not know how many of those people are still alive to benefit from this. I believe it is time we moved with speed ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I agree with most of the speakers who have spoken before me. I will go further and say that I oppose this Committee’s Report. In fact, the Members can observe from Chapter 5 thereof that I have been personally involved and opposed to this transaction. Just to be a bit polite, I will say that this Report is unsupportable at all. It is incoherent, disjointed and inconclusive. If this Parliament passes such a Report, I think we are trying to prove that this House does not take its work seriously. My ...
