The link between research and universities is universal. In reality, many may not agree...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this debate. I rise to support the Bill. This is a constitutional matter. It is a matter of inclusivity.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Something must be wrong. I have been here… Okay. (Laughter) of them will leave the country, and other countries will take them. So, when we reach this level, we must be prepared to invest more not only in the institute but also in utilising its...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. This is because the fisheries industry is a major sector, particularly for some of the areas that we represent. The Act that we had was nullified by the court. We do not want to go into the reasons as...

Up to now, it has not been very clear on who should license them. It is not clear whether it is the national Government or the county government. As you have said, if we go in, in a massive way, we will then start interfering with the transport services by...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. In maintenance of law and order and the whole issue of governance and integrity, there are two critical institutions: The NPS and the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) . If those two do not work or there are doubts in...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also take this opportunity to pass my condolences and those of my constituents to the people of Ol Kalou for the loss of Hon. Kiaraho, the people of Kirinyaga for the loss of their former Senator, our colleague Hon. Kamket, and Hon. Owen Baya for...

I need to be informed. What is the difference between a tea buyer and a tea exporter? To me, that is where the problem lies, because I do not think time is a big deal, and I support the time. Again, what is the difference between a tea buyer and...

So, for those who buy tea not for export, do they also need to add value? There seems to be redundancy in the wording; you could simply say ‘all tea exporters’ and leave out the buyers.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First, I welcome the students who have come to visit this House. They have come at the right moment. We are discussing a very important matter on education at the certificate and diploma level in our universities. That will give...

On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Member for Funyula, do you want to be informed by the Member for Seme?

Hon. Temporary Speaker, my information is actually helping him. As much as I support this Motion, what Dr Oundo is saying actually makes sense. There was a memorandum from the Architectural Association of Kenya - Town Planners Chapter (AAK-TPC) . In paragraph 92, there was limited representation of co-built environment...

Thank you…

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I can read the mood of the House. The credentials of Mama Ida Betty Odinga, her experience, her exposure, both in politics, professionally and in leadership, her credentials, and educationwise are impeccable. So, the Committee has made a decision in line with what most of us...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity.
