These amendments are very important because they address and clarify certain issues that might have escaped our attention, especially on public participation, which is a constitutional requirement. I think these amendments add value to this Bill. I support these amendments.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Bill. Ranking of schools brings out the spirit of competition, which is healthy. While we encourage ranking of schools, it should not be done in a haphazard manner. We have seen some private schools not being ranked yet their owners have invested in the education sector. We encourage the Government to also improve the environment in our public schools so as to compete effectively with private schools so that ranking can be done in a more systematic way. I also support the inclusion of co-curricular activities alongside academic ...

There is a proposal that the NLC should streamline its operations and devolve its functions to the counties, so that they can have some level of management there. It will help to ensure that people do not travel long distances to Nairobi or to the former provincial headquarters to access land records. It is important for these records to be easily accessible to everybody, including any land owner or investor who needs to own land. We have a system which can help us to achieve that. Last year, the NLC gave notice that all schools must acquire title deeds. Most ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Motion. The village elders are the first level of leaders that we have at the lowest level of our society. Those are the people who manage even the expectations that people have at that level in the society. Village elders are the people whom the Government does not appreciate because most of them are volunteers. They are opinion leaders who always manage some of the things that go on in the remotest parts of this country. For a long time, before the society came up with the judicial system, ...
