Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. What we are discussing is not the concept. On that we are agreed. The CBC is a good concept. What we are discussing is planning and implementation. In my mind, that is where the issue is. What we have here...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. This is a very important scheme. Once you establish any scheme that touches on health, you should have a system of ensuring that every person who should get it, gets it and that it is monitored. Being a Member...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome back my colleagues after a long recess. I was not here yesterday. My point of order is: this is an extremely important Motion. Maybe I should have raised this point of order even on the previous orders. This is...

Even seeking leave of the House has a process. A Motion to seek leave to discuss this Motion should have been in today’s Order Paper. We would discuss it and then proceed. You cannot come to the House when the Motion had not been discussed by the HBC and suddenly...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to discuss. This is an extremely important topic that we are discussing. I do not think we have much difference in the contents. I would like to highlight the three things we have to look at here. Technical issues, as...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on these Statements. I will first comment on the Statement by Hon. Protus Akujah on the Hunger Safety Net Programme (HSNP) beneficiaries and the exploitation by bank agents. The HSNP is part and parcel of the whole National...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to make the debate and process today as constitutional as possible. I want to acknowledge that every time we make lists appointing people, we must be alive to the constitutional requirement. Therefore, I second and hope you will give me time to make...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support two of the Petitions. One is on the Athi River pollution. I see a broader issue here. All the rivers that pass through urban centres, in cities or towns are actually exposed to the same problem that Athi River is exposed to....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The debate on GMO has turned political. There are issues of health, environment and agricultural economy, which also includes the fate of our farmers. First is the issue of health, and I will make it in my mind extremely simple. The data we have on...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, we are not looking after our agriculture. We do not have extension officers. We do not have seeds for farmers. We do not have fertilisers for farmers. We are not looking at our irrigation schemes. Is the solution GMO maize? We should go back and solve the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the Nyanza-Western caucus of Internally Displaced Persons, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, in the aftermath of the contested 2007 General Election, the country witnessed unprecedented post-election violence which among other things caused massive displacement of...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me congratulate all the nine Members. They are going there as Kenyans representing the interests of Kenya. However, the bigger interest that the people of the larger East Africa are looking at is an area where we all move...

Hon. Speaker, I thought it had passed. So, I am not. No.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This issue is demonstrating a very important fact – that, this House must realise that the Executive is taking it for granted. Why am I saying so? Looking at the communication by the Leader of the Majority Party, the NG-CDF issue, and its magnitude, is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, and Hon. Kiarie. Trees are the lungs of the earth. They take the carbon dioxide that we breath out and they give oxygen that we breath in for us and all animals. They take water and transfer it into the air, thus cooling the earth....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support this Motion, but with caution that I will talk about later. This Motion arises from three important factors. One, in this country, there are large tracts of land that you wonder who owns them and how they are...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for retrieving the lost list and giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion as I congratulate the hon. Member who has brought it. I am doing so because it addresses one of the greatest socio-economic challenges in this country – unemployment amongst...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this. I will be very brief. The reality of what is happening here is extremely simple. We have an institution that has been working, and was there before we promulgated the Constitution of Kenya 2010. We then...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also take this opportunity to congratulate you for being appointed to the Chairpersons’ Panel. I appreciate the effort you are making in getting our new Members to speak. The panel is doing well. As it has been the...
