Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the prayers that one day I will be a senior counsel. I support this Motion, which is very progressive. As many of my colleagues have said, this is a Motion that is worth supporting to become a Bill and eventually a law that will...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me start by thanking the Vice-Chairman and the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock for coming up with that response. Tea matters in my constituency are very important for almost half of the population who entirely rely on the crop. I sought this statement...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. On 2nd October 2024, I requested for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock regarding payment of tea bonuses for Kimunye and Thumaita Tea Factories, which are in Gichugu Constituency. There was a commitment, through...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, the Senate Amendments to the Statutory Instruments Amendment Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.2 of 2023) , be now considered. This Bill emanated from this House. It provides a very brief background about the Statutory Instruments Act; that the powers...

Thank you. I thank Hon. Members who have made very valuable contributions to this Motion. Without belabouring the points, everything has been covered. I beg to reply.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Actually, it is a request for statement regarding payment of tea bonuses for Kimunye and Thumaita tea factories for the Financial Year 2023/2024. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to start by thanking my colleagues who handled this matter on a pro bono basis. I commit that I will join them in the next phase, because we have very good grounds for appeal. In a nutshell,...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Coffee Bill. Coffee is a very important agricultural crop in this country. (Hon. Julius Mawathe spoke off the record) 24th September 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 28

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for confirming that this chance belongs to me. There is only one Hon. Gichimu, Member for Gichugu, in this Parliament. I was wondering! This is a very important legislation for the people of Gichugu and Kirinyaga at large. I am a coffee farmer and I...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the opportunity to also contribute to this Motion of Adjournment sponsored by the Member of Parliament for Kathiani, Hon. Robert Mbui. I must thank him for taking the lead because this is a matter that has lingered in the minds of most of the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry & Co-operatives. The Chairperson was meant to table some papers. I wanted to hold his brief, but I am being informed by the Clerk- at-the-Table that they do not have the papers. I request that the...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The vetting of the Inspector-General of Police, as per the Constitution, is supposed to be done by Parliament, comprising of the two Houses – the National Assembly and the Senate. Your Communication is in order.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the amendment because the way to support farming currently is through co- operatives because of the economies of scale. It is very difficult to have farmers supported individually. Co-operatives is the way to go in support of any kind of farming in Kenya....

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, this is not possible. The two cabinet secretaries cannot initiate taxes. Incentives without taxes cannot work, and that is where we lost the point. This industry would have been self-sustaining if there was a levy that 31st July 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 58 would enable the industry...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving an opportunity to contribute to the Public Service Internship Bill, sponsored by Hon. Naisula Lesuuda. At the outset, let me say that this is a very progressive Bill that will address some of the issues that have been raised by young people of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee led by the very able Hon. Ndindi Nyoro for the work well done. Kenyans spoke loudly and clearly that they want to live within their means. This Parliament had very good...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Motion as moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. The principle of conflict of interest has been there for many years. It has been loosely used under the tenets of natural justice. Therefore, it has been left to the courts to determine...
