Thank you. I want to weigh in on the Bill and say that devolution was brought to our country and we overwhelmingly voted for the 2010 Constitution. We thought it is a cure to historical injustices in some of our areas. As we stand here today, it is very evident...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Amendment Bill. It is timely as we must critically consider decriminalising suicide. Suicidal individuals are sick. Typically, before someone reaches the point of contemplating suicide, we notice small indicators that we may overlook. In psychology, we begin by addressing stress....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was just about to conclude, but I will start afresh. Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have students in the House as we discuss this very important Bill. I want to tell them that nothing in life is simple. We have to persevere. Even if...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I too support a data collection centre. It is equally very key. It will enable proper planning even for the future. I do support. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Racheal Nyamai) : Thank you very much. Hon. Brighton Yegon, Member for Konoin.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also wish to add my voice to the petition on teacher promotion. As we sit in this House and reflect on the work that teachers across the ranks do - not just deputy principals and Principals - we must appreciate that this petition is both...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also thank the Chair and Public Debt and Privatisation Committee on this very important move. I support the Committee's observation.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Kenya, for picking this special person, Dr Julius Murori Mbijiwe, to serve at the Vatican, the Holy See. I have known Dr Mbijiwe for close to 25 years. He was a committed physics and...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I agree with all the Members on the sentiments they have expressed this morning. The million-dollar question is: Why did it take so long for the allegations that were brought to the Leadership of this House in July 2025 to be communicated in April 2026?...

Thank you. I stand to support the very important Bill that the Member of Parliament for Laikipia County, Hon. Jane Kagiri, brought to this House. The Bill is very clear on what it wants to achieve. We take our children to school. We implore them to pursue various disciplines. We...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, examination marking and preparation are annual events. They occur every year and are predictable. When the Cabinet Secretary states that funds are being sought for work already completed, it is unacceptable. Teachers cannot continue to suffer because the system is not structured to ensure prompt payment. Teachers...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education a question that was canvassed in this House - on the time learners should report to school. I remember very well that this matter was brought to this House by Hon. Doris Donya, who said that...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to support the Hon. Member on the concerns raised regarding disparities in house allowances for teachers. There should be a clear policy such that where cities have been designated and gazetted, teachers in those areas should enjoy house allowances equivalent to those in...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to add my voice to this very important debate. I thank Hon. Rahim as the co-sponsor of the Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill (Senate Bill No. 12 of 2023) . The Bill is specific about what it wants to achieve. I...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. (Hon. Daniel Karitho spoke off the record)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very fluid topic that we are discussing this afternoon. Cattle rustling and cattle theft is a matter of national importance. We not only lose animals but also people. Without any tone of doubt, the Meru community has suffered. We are calling upon the...
