SUSTAINABLE

MANAGEMENT

AND

VALORISATION OF ORGANIC WASTE FROM

AVOCADO PROCESSING

(The Hon. Mary Wamaua, M.P.)

THAT, aware that avocado farming and processing activities have expanded rapidly in Kenya; noting that the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) Economic Survey, 2024 approximated the national avocado production at 848,100 tonnes in 2024, up from 633,000 tonnes in 2023, valued at Kenya Shillings 29.5 billion;

(1413)

appreciating that, according to the survey, Murang’a County contributed about 200,991 tonnes of the total production, making it the leading avocado-producing county in the country; concerned that avocado processing generates large volumes of organic waste, including environmental degradation, water contamination, and increased greenhouse gas emissions; further concerned that residents of Murang’a County and other major avocado-growing regions have raised serious concerns over the improper disposal of avocado waste which undermines the right to a clean and healthy environment as envisaged under Article 42 of the Constitution, thus posing significant public health and environmental risks; appreciating that studies by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO, 2023) and global best practices from Mexico and Chile demonstrate that avocado waste can be converted into biofertilizer, biogas, animal feed, and other value-added products; recognizing that by embracing valorisation of avocado waste, Kenya stands a chance to reduce environmental pollution and public health risks, create employment opportunities, and support a circular economy in the avocado sector; appreciating the role of the national government in the formulation of policies and frameworks to guide and support effective waste management by county governments; now therefore, this House resolves that the national government formulates an avocado waste management and valorisation policy to provide for –

(i) sustainable avocado waste management and valorisation, including research, training, and technology transfer to farmers and provision of processors on modern waste management and valorisation practices, with the aim of reducing pollution, improving public health, and creating jobs in the avocado-producing regions; (ii) promotion of investment and innovation by providing subsidies, incentives, and technical support for waste-to-value initiatives such as biodigesters, biorefineries, and other circular economy solutions; and (iii) collaboration mechanisms for the National Government, county governments and private sector partners in sustainable avocado waste management and valorisation.

MANDATORY

GUIDANCE

AND

COUNSELLING

PROGRAMME

IN

ALL

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN

KENYA

(The Hon. Rahab Mukami, M.P.)

THAT, aware that, learners in primary and secondary schools across the country are increasingly exposed to social, psychological and behavioural challenges, including drug and substance abuse, indiscipline, school unrest and academic underperformance; noting that, there has been a disturbing rise in cases of sexual violence against children, including incidents where minors are abused or killed by individuals known to them, including relatives and caregivers, thereby exposing learners to trauma and long-term psychological harm; further noting that, many learners come from homes affected by domestic violence, family instability, economic hardship and other social pressures that adversely affect their emotional wellbeing, safety and concentration in school; concerned that, guidance and services in most primary and secondary schools remain informal, inadequately structured and under- resourced, with no standardized national framework to ensure professionalism, accountability and effective delivery; appreciating that, structured psychosocial support, life skills training, child protection awareness and early intervention during formative years are critical in safeguarding learners, strengthening resilience, promoting discipline and improving academic outcomes; this House therefore resolves that, the Government, through the Ministry of Education: - (i) introduces a mandatory, structured and time-tabled Guidance and Counselling Programme in all public and private primary and secondary schools in Kenya; (ii) develops and implements a national policy framework providing for the recruitment, accreditation and deployment of professionally trained school counsellors; (iii) integrates mental health education, child protection awareness, personal safety training and life skills development into the school curriculum; (iv) allocates adequate resources to support counselling services in schools; and (v) establishes clear coordination and referral mechanisms between schools, child protection institutions and relevant government agencies to ensure effective safeguarding of learners.

POLICY TO DEVELOP A STRUCTURED

ENGAGEMENT

OF

NATIONAL

YOUTH

SERVICE

GRADUATES

AS

SECURITY

OFFICERS

IN

GOVERNMENT

INSTITUTIONS

(The Hon. Gertrude Mbeyu, M.P.) THAT, aware that approximately 18,000 youth graduate from the National Youth Service (NYS) annually; further aware that, Article 55 of the Constitution requires the State to take measures, including affirmative action programmes to ensure that the youth access training, employment and opportunities to participate fully in the social, economic and political life of the nation; appreciating that, the Government has

………./15*(Cont’d)

(No. 51)

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2026

(1415) in the recent years rolled out deliberate programmes aimed at equipping NYS graduates with skills for employment into the disciplined services and key sectors which include agriculture, construction and security; noting that, government institutions continue to engage private security firms to supplement uniformed officers in providing security services, thereby incurring significant recurrent expenditure; further noting that, the NYS graduates possess foundational training in discipline, security awareness, public service ethics and emergency response, making them suitable for deployment within government institutions; recognising that, there is need to have a balanced approach that promotes youth employment through structured engagement of the NYS graduates, while preserving opportunities for private security firms to continue to operate and partner with government institutions; this House therefore resolves that the National government develops and implements a policy framework and guidelines to steer government ministries, departments, agencies, on– (i) prioritisation of engagement of the National Youth Service graduates to provide supplementary security services to public entities; (ii) the criteria for determination of a formula for allotment of a quota of provision of security services in public entities to the NYS graduates, and private security services firms; and (iii) modalities for structured recruitment, deployment and terms of service, including remuneration, training and career progression for NYS graduates engaged to provide supplementary security to government entities.

1. 17*. MOTION: 003/2026 –

FORMULATION OF A POLICY ON POWER

SUBSIDIES

FOR

EXPORT-ORIENTED

AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION

(The Hon. Gathoni Wamuchomba, M.P.)

THAT, aware that agriculture remains the backbone of Kenya’s economy, contributing substantially to the GDP, rural employment, and foreign exchange earnings, with key export crops such as coffee, tea, avocados, cut flowers, macadamia nuts, cashew nuts, and related horticultural produce collectively accounting for a significant share of the country’s total export value; further aware that these commodities are largely produced for the export market, positioning Kenya as a global leader in cut-flower exports, one of Africa’s largest producers and exporters of avocados and macadamia nuts, and a major supplier of tea and coffee; noting that the commencement of duty-free access to the Chinese market for these products effective May 2026 presents a historic opportunity to widely expand export earnings, create thousands of rural jobs, promote value addition, and strengthen the country’s position in global agricultural trade; concerned that the high cost of electricity in Kenya, as evidenced by commercial and industrial rates significantly exceeding those of regional competitors such as Ethiopia and Tanzania, continues to erode the competitiveness of

………./17*(Cont’d)

(No. 51)

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2026

(1416) export-oriented agriculture by inflating the costs of critical operations such as irrigation, cold-chain storage and logistics, processing, drying, grading, packaging, and other value-addition activities essential for meeting stringent international quality, food safety, and phytosanitary standards; cognisant that affordable and reliable power supply is a critical input for smallholder farmers, farmer cooperatives, aggregators, and agro- processors engaged in these export crops; further cognisant that the lack of targeted electricity subsidies has led to reduced profitability, discouraged investment in modern technologies such as solar-assisted irrigation and energy-efficient cold rooms, and increased vulnerability to global price volatility and climate shocks; acknowledging that whereas, the National Energy Policy 2025–2034 and the Policy Framework for Sustainable Financing and Subsidy Management in Agriculture provide a broad foundation for targeted interventions, no specific mechanism exist on subsidized electricity tariffs exclusively for export-oriented agricultural production, processing, and related infrastructure; now therefore, this House resolves that the Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum formulates a National Policy on Power Subsidies for Export-Oriented Agricultural Production that provides for tiered electricity tariff subsidies including off-peak and time-of-use rates, exclusively for registered producers, cooperatives, processors and exporters of coffee, tea, avocados, cut flowers, macadamia nuts, cashew nuts and other designated export crops.
