Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, I would like to agree with my colleagues that what is happening in the Central Bank and other commercial banks saddens everybody. It is affecting commerce and making every Kenyan look like a drug dealer or people who are not doing the right thing. It should not be allowed. I have heard Members talk about the Committee on Implementation. I do not understand what they mean because no regulation has been passed to us. The committee concerned has not advised us that they are unable to supervise the Central Bank. I believe that ...

He is a very noisy man and you all know him. So, it will be impossible for us to pursue each resolution of the House without the said committee chairs advising us accordingly. We will all fail as a House. So, we are ready and we shall ensure that we make sure this House does not act in vain. It has done that before. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am honoured to second the Motion. I wish to make two comments. One, I think that the time provided is sufficient. We come to this Parliament with facts and we do not wish to waste too much time on repetitions and unnecessary things that do not make sense. There is something that Hon. Katoo has said, and which I support. As a Chairman of the Committee on Implementation, we have had problems with implementing the decisions of this House, especially when it comes to the issue of “urging”. Urging is just pleading or requesting. ...

In fact, we have already tabled nine Reports. I am telling the Committees, especially the PIC and PAC that we shall ensure that reports like this one are implemented. 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.

I can assure Parliament that we shall act accordingly. In fact, you realise that this country has gone to the dogs when you look at this Report. It is not a new thing. I think what this country needs is an overhaul of the systems in terms of the way things are done. When you look at State corporations, why do you think we are in such a quagmire? It is because we have tribalised them; we no longer look at quality and qualifications but ethnicity of the people we put in place. When you look at these corporations, you ...

We fail in making policies. Let us professionalize services. Let us not also duplicate. I do not know what happened. The other day, they were going to amalgamate several corporations to ensure that there is efficiency; a lean and efficient personnel and that people are able to show that they have managed to do what they are supposed to do. That is something that should be pursued and it should not be a political gift to anybody. Maybe what we fear is that people are realizing that if you make these things fewer, then you will have fewer people to ...

This is one of the cases that emanated from the debate of this House on the sugar crisis in Kenya. As a Committee that is mandated to follow up on the resolutions and petitions passed by this House, the Committee on Implementation has been following on these issues.
