Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also rise to support this amendment. For any function, while money is important, human resource is the most significant. As the previous Member mentioned, there are a lot of issues with the distribution and handling of human resource. The major issue is the presence...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to support this for the simple reason that it would create a huge conflict of interest. A person cannot sit in the advisory committee and then have the audit report come to Members of Parliament to look through it, having already participated in the board....

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to support the amendment however, I would like to seek more clarification from the Mover. Does this amendment apply to all independent constitutional offices? It appears as though that is the basis for the amendment. This is just for my information. Nonetheless, I support the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support this because it will close a loophole that many of us believe has been misused. You can even get public funds used for political purposes and you can never know. I have sometimes wondered the process through which money leaves government when we...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to add to what our Chairman has said. I think there are two issues here. One is the general security within the hospital. Two, the specific circumstances of this case. Our Chairman has raised a very important point that we probably need to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. This is a very good development. The debt management strategy has not always been part of the budget process. We did not do it during my first term in Parliament. We started mentioning it during my second term. It has...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the National Police Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2024, whose objective is to provide for mental wellness and the mental well-being of police officers. It is being acknowledged that police officers face mental health challenges. That fact...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, it is not only the police that we should ask. What was done is a public nuisance and under the Public Health Act. The driver and their bosses who allowed that to happen can be charged for exposing people to garbage...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. Artisanal gold mining, which is small-scale gold mining involving people without experience, is all over the country but mainly in western Kenya. It is mainly practised in Kakamega, Vihiga, Kisumu, Migori, Siaya, and West Pokot counties....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, if that belt is there, it needs to be exploited professionally. It will create employment and wealth for the people, and to the Government through taxes. Currently, the process is destructive in most ways. What people are most concerned about is the safety of miners when the...

Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I am very grateful. I was supposed to read this, but I did not. That was then. This is now. I support the Report as read by our Chairman. It is an interaction between the Ministry, the management of SHA, and the Committee....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. I appreciate and thank the Government of Kenya for endorsing and supporting Hon. Raila’s quest for the chairmanship of the AUC. May I also congratulate and thank Hon. Raila for his courage, commitment and selflessness to pursue the chairperson of the African...

Hon. Chair, is it to lay or to deliver? I am sorry Hon. Speaker. Then I will give it to the Clerk-at-the-Table. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Speaker, do we do that before we get into the business of the House? Hon. Speaker, then I am not in a position to move it now.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The matter before the court was whether the decision declaring one of the two coalition parties as the majority was valid. The court decided that it was not correct. Therefore, it stands to reason that the other coalition must be recognised as the majority party. The...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I rise to support this new clause. This is the most important amendment in the whole Bill. Someone might start something new and as stated in 27A (1) (a) , they might want to use unique machinery which is not in the tax schedule. So,...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to support this amendment. This is because it is very important as it relates to what we have passed on intellectual property, particularly trade related intellectual property rights. That is where most people lose out because those trade related rights exist, but there is no...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, we must support this because without it, the whole Act cannot be implemented. This is because if nothing is defined, people will do whatever they want. We must support this. That it came later is not important, but it will help the Act to be implemented. The...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to second. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. As I support the nomination of these gentlemen, I have two important observations and points that I want to bring out. The issue of regional and ethnic equity, although we played it down and said that it is something that should...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to agree with the Committee. However, I want to raise a very fundamental issue. The Committee has stated that some of the amendments that we are rejecting are unconstitutional. That raises the issue of the Senate processes during consideration of Bills. How can...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 120 (1) (c) , this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Kenya Institute of Primate Research Bill...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I have two issues that I seek clarification on. If you delete the words “Registrar of Startups and Admission into Incubation Programme," it means there must be something that has happened or will happen that takes care of what was intended there about the registrar and registration....

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, it is very difficult to discuss Hon. KJ’s amendment. But we want to know what will replace it. There will be many of these. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : You are the people to decide when I put the Question on the deletion. Hon. Basil.

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I urge the Mover that where we are doing a complete deletion, it is better to read out what is being deleted, even if it takes time. As much the Mover has explained, it makes more sense to know what is being deleted. The Temporary Chairman (Hon....

Hon. Temporary Chairman, this amendment is pretty close to what is contained in the Bill. It may be good for the Chairperson to point out the difference because one cannot quickly see the difference between what is in the Bill and the amendment. In such a situation, it would be...

I just want to get an explanation. I can follow paragraph (a) because it only changes the wording. Paragraph (b) excludes the member of the county executive committee. Could I know the explanation for that? The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : Hon. Vice-Chairlady, could you justify the amendment briefly.

Hon. Temporary Chairman, mine is about procedure. When I look at Clause 27 in the Bill, I do not see the sub-clause (1) that was amended previously and even now. I do not know where the error is. In the Bill, there is no sub-clause (1) under Clause 27. It...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. No single Government fund has had the impact that those three devolved funds have had, particularly the NG-CDF. There is no single constituency in this country in the area of education where you cannot find classrooms that have been built...
