Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairperson. It is as if all the clauses are off. This Bill took two years to come to fruition. It was considered by the Senate and then came back to the National Assembly. It is now in the Committee of...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On the question of KDF recruitment, I wish to join Hon. Mwenje in requesting for a statement from the Committee.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I believe you have the Memorandum. I have it with me. It is flawed and inaccurate. The fourth line says that the Cancer Prevention and Control (Amendment) Bill is National Assembly Bill No. 45 of 2025. My Bill is for 2022,...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is my Bill of 2022. What the President is talking about, the Digital Health Act, is for 2024 or even 2025. We passed this Bill on 15th April 2024. So, I do not see the rationale for deleting...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Chairperson of the Committee has told us that they will look into NEMIS, but how long will it take? NEMIS has been there for ages. When will it sort out those issues? We need a timeline. We have...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I disagree with Hon.Tandaza. When he talks about some people getting more than others, that will be a leeway for corruption. On the Ksh2,000 that they get, the indigents should be getting more than...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to convey my condolences, those of my constituents of North Imenti and the Diocese of Meru to the entire Catholic Church fraternity. We have dealt with the Catholic Church for over 70 years in Meru and Tharaka Nithi...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank all contributors to this Bill. I ask my sister Hon. Zamzam from Mombasa not to link miraa with cancer. Other things happen. Even people who do not chew miraa get cancer. It is something which happens all...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, UDA) Hon. Speaker, the clearances are obtained from the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, not from the Civil Aviation Authority.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support this increment.

It...
