Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to sincerely thank every Member who has contributed to this Bill since it was first read in this House. I also thank the Members of the Departmental Committee on Labour for the intense engagement when...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you. I like the direction you gave on this matter — that the Cabinet Secretary be called to this House to respond to these issues, as they are grave. As the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has said, some of the statements...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also support this amendment. It is important that our interns get the requisite experience so that intern are not just in an institution and given certain assignments that do not assist them in getting experience and also learning...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support and believe six to 12 months is adequate for anyone who is really looking to gain experience while serving as an intern.I believe one will not have acquired the necessary experience in less than six months. The...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, even though I supported, because I remember us deliberating at length, I had proposed three months in the Bill as that is what is mostly needed. The Chairperson needs to clarify further, because what we are discussing is not the amendment....

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Listening to the Chairperson and now looking at Article 1 as it appears in the Bill, his amendment makes sense. He is just removing ‘established under the Constitution’ and specifying ‘‘as defined in Article 260’’, which defines public officers....

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 8 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (k) by deleting the words “in the case of a public service institution in the National Government, or the County 3rd December 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 16...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you Hon. Temporary Chairlady. In the original Bill, I had considered the matter of counties. But after thinking about it, I realised that different counties have different County Executive Committee (CEC) members with different names and titles on who deals with matters internship....

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the amendment by Hon. (Dr) Nyikal. He has made it tidier in Clause 10 (a) of the Bill. But I propose and ask whether it would be possible to just add what Hon. Gichimu proposes because we...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Committee deliberated extensively on the issue of the timeframe. The amendment to Clause 13 caters for everyone. We are just stipulating that an internship cannot exceed 12 months. The Clause states that an internship period shall be valid...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 14 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “twenty-four hours” appearing immediately after the word “exceeding” in paragraph 3rd December 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 28 Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West,...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) The amendment is reasonable for anyone who is on internship. Why would you not communicate to your employer within three days? It is not saying “missing work”. It is saying “without permission or reasonable cause for a period exceeding 24 hours”. Just notify your...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I hear what my colleague is saying but he cannot propose an amendment on the Floor. The amendment before us is the one by Hon. Gichimu which I support. That is a good proposal but there is no amendment....

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) It is not really a point of order. The proposed Clause 15 has (a) (b) and (c) which seem like consultation requirements which can impede the process. Someone can even go to court claiming they were not consulted. Leaving the Clause as it is...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the New Clause 15A be now read a Second Time. The essence of including this New Clause is to align it with provisions of Article 232 (1) (g) of our Constitution which stipulates that appointments should...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended—

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Let me give a chance to the Chairman of the Committee because both of you have interest in the same. Chairman, please proceed.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended— Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended—

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Public Service Internship Bill (National Assembly Bill No.63 of 2022) and its approval thereof with amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The House...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I request Hon. Gichimu to second the Motion.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Public Service Internship Bill (National Assembly Bill No.63 of 2022) be now read a Third Time. I request Hon. Nyikal to second.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker and thank you for that direction. I had questions on the prolonged university lecturers strike but I note that the matter has been resolved this afternoon. I also have other questions.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I will redraft them because one of the questions is on what was being done to resolve the strike. Since it has been resolved, to make sure that the issue does not recur, it will be important that I ask the question...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Wanjala, you are a noisemaker. Hon. Speaker, I heard the Cabinet Secretary clearly credit the Governor of Nairobi. However, he said that some counties were co-charging. Those counties should also be named in this House. We need to give credit where it is...

Alarmingly, cases of children being killed by close relatives have also been reported in the recent past. For...
