Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion for Adjournment. That is because we need the 10 days break so that we can meet with our constituents and agree on the projects for 2014/2015 Financial Year. That is because the Chairperson of the CDF Committee has tabled the figures for the 2014/2015 Financial Year this afternoon. By the time we come back, we will be ready to present and start work. Secondly, I have a suggestion for the Saba Saba rally that will be held on Monday. The reasons our colleagues are out ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to join my colleagues to support this Motion. It is actually overdue. We want to reward our senior citizens who have served this country for a long time. I know what the former Prime Minister has done for this country. In 2008 after the post election violence, he sat down with the President and agreed on certain issues after which we came back to a peaceful country. We also know that the former Vice Presidents; the late hon. Wamalwa and hon. Kalonzo Musyoka need to be recognized. These are senior people that need to ...

As my colleagues have said, these are former Members of Parliament and we need to understand that we will one day join them. Most of the time politicians do not retire; it is people who retire us by force. What we need to do is to ensure that, after we leave this House, we live a decent life, a life like the one we live while in Parliament. I know most of us, before we came to this House lived decent lives. We lived comfortable lives; our families lived well. As soon as we were elected things changed. We no ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the amendment brought by hon. Pkosing because in order for the Inspector-General to be independent, as discussed earlier, it is good for him to have the funds rather than having to go to the Principal Secretary for the Interior to source for funds for police operations. So, I beg to support.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to find out from the Chairperson the policy in the Ministry because we expect the contractors who are given work to have funds to do the roads and lodge claims after the completion of the roads. The reason why I am saying this is because we have a road from Iten to Bugar and the contractor has been there for the last three years but he has done nothing. So, we want to know the policy from the Chairperson. Is it that you pay them before or after they do the ...

Many of our citizens travel abroad to study different professions in different universities and colleges. However, when they return to the country, different agencies, for example the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), requires certificates to be equated to the Kenya National Examinations Council standards, and when this happens, some of the certificates are reported not to be below Kenyan standards. The Chairperson should inquire and report on the following issues:-
