Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am the Member for Kitui Rural, but not Kituto Rural. Let me also say a few things about the President’s Speech. It was not very bad. Mostly, it was a proposal going forward. I want to comment on the cost of food. With the fertiliser programme,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to be very brief.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also air my views on this Report. I support the Report. I am a member of the Committee. As Members have said, the Report is outdated, but it reflects the current situation and challenges facing the NG-CDF....

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I do not want to support the Member for Nyando. He is trying to tell us that he is a coward. I want to support the Petition by Hon. Nyenze for desilting Matinga Dam. Actually, Matinga in Kikamba means tractors. These dams are dotted everywhere...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I want to support this Report and thank the last Parliament for coming up with this Committee on Public Debt and Privatisation. This is the first report where Parliament is looking at public debt. As the earlier speaker said, debt is not...
