That is what I wanted a clarification on. If this is about job evaluation, we do not need to interview the persons. We can do the evaluation and give them an opportunity to comment on what has been evaluated.

Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Kittony for bringing this Motion to the House. This is a very reasonable Motion. There are issues which it brings forth which are simple but reasonable. Rain water is clean water. We might not recognize this until you are in Europe where rain water is acidic and therefore cannot be put to good use. We do not have to look to Europe to know how to use rain water because they do not use rain water for reasons of industrialization. We are not industrialized enough to spoil our atmosphere and, therefore, rain ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity you have given me to support the report from the Committee on Education, Information and Technology. I am a Member of this committee. Before I make my contribution, it is unfortunate that my colleague, Sen. Omar Hasasn has already left, but he raised some points that I can highlight. He actually poured cold water on our education system and gave the impression that it is a system that has produced nobody. If you look at the intellectual property rights of this country, this is an education system that has, not only produced ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Motion. The issue of employees of the defunct local authorities is just one of the many problems that the county government and the national Government are yet to resolve. There are also issues which involve fixed assets, especially properties and immovable assets of the counties that disappeared from the records of the counties during the transition period. This particularly happened in areas where the local authorities were serving several counties. It is during this transition time that these items were not accounted for. It is important for this audit ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank the Senator for the answer which she gave, but I would like to have further clarifications as to what the Cabinet Secretary (CS) meant by ‘tracking the animals.” What systems did they use to track the animals in an area which is populated by a lot of other animals? I believe and I know that in this age of computers, it is possible to trace and track animals. I would like to know whether the Government can use a better system of tracking and tracing animals with the use of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to give an answer to the Vice- Chair who asked me if I knew anything that can help the Government deal with this issue.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I just have about a minute or so. Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, I wish to thank the Mover of the Motion, Sen. Muthama, for bringing this Motion, which is very timely. Farmers are very hard working people, especially tea farmers, who are the most hardworking fellows. To date, after 50 or 60 years of planting tea, there are still individuals who are suffering. I say tea farmers are suffering because the plant tea itself is a plant that occupies the farm area of a farmer without allowing any crop rotation to ...
