Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I do not want to delay anyone on this debate. Mine is to support the amendment. Why it is important to support this amendment is because, as Kenyans, we know what happened to the health service in this country. The moment we support private entities at the...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am also with those who are saying that we can put the Question on this.The import of allocating this money to this sector is that it cuts across all other sectors. It is in great support of the manifesto that is moving towards the ‘digital superhighway’...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I thank earthquake Prime Cabinet Secretary for the elaborate answers he has given us this afternoon. In the same breath, I also thank the Member for Kamukunji for the questions. If what the Prime Cabinet Secretary has told us is applied and executed well,...

Hon. Speaker, storage is important. If we do not apply the Joseph of the Bible principle whenever we experience glut, we shall always suffer. What are the plans on storage whenever we have excess production of food? Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chairperson of the Regional Integration Committee for bringing this Statement. Africa has been here far too many times.
