Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Public Finance Management (Public Officers Medical Fund) Regulations, 2024, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday,...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I reply, I would like to point out a few issues that have been raised by Members. First, this scheme will not attract any further contributions from public servants or those in the civil service. Therefore, there is no...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me associate myself with the concerns by Hon. Kasalu on this matter. This matter is both legal and moral. It is legal in the sense that the Constitution and even the High Court have already pronounced themselves on this...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The demarcation between the mandate of the National Assembly and the Senate is in Articles 95 and 96 of the Constitution, respectively. As you make the communication, if you are persuaded to, my only worry is whether it would be binding...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute.
