Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, this amendment cures an expense that we would have incurred in establishing the Appeals Board. I am in support because it will save time. If anybody is dissatisfied, we already have an existing judicial system where anybody can seek redress. Therefore, without...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I am very impressed with this amendment. Indeed, just like the Leader of the Majority Party has said, you cannot purport to sell something that you do not know the value of. Therefore, the inclusion of an initial valuation report...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I find this Petition interesting. Over a long time, we have attempted to introduce regulations to regulate religious organisations and churches. However, I find the prayers of the petitioner interesting. He proposes a standardised training for the 200 Bible schools...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is nothing out of order. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. David Ochieng’) You just walked in? Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Yes, I pressed by mistake, but then I could not change. I am just queuing to speak. The Temporary Speaker (Hon....

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to take this opportunity to second the Bill. Thank you. Thank you, Hon. Members. (Question proposed)

Hon. Thuku Kwenya (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Chairman, if we allow ourselves to continue quoting these Mwongozo guidelines while legislating, we are relegating ourselves to the point of following a document that has no legal basis whatsoever, save for what CPA Rutto is trying to imply that these are best...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) I am guided, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Can we hear one more Member who wants to speak to this? Hon. Col (Rtd) Raso.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This is a very pertinent issue raised by Members. When dealing with ring-fenced expenditure for clearly defined items such as digitisation or our international obligations, these are costs that can be quantified. As such, there should be no need for...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support this amendment because failure to revoke the State Corporations (National Council for Population 18th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 71 Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP)and Development) Order will definitely give life to two State corporations; one by a Gazette Notice...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is a very useful amendment because of perpetuity. It proposes that all the assets, liabilities and obligations of the defunct National Council for Population and Development (NCPD) be transferred to the newly established NCPD. I support.

Hon. Thuku Kwenya (Kinangop, JP) No, I am not a Member of that Committee, but I have interest in this matter. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Proceed. Hon. Thuku Kwenya (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Chairman, the thing that perturbs me is that we keep on referring to Mwongozo...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you. A pertinent question that has been asked on the same issue. Who is the merchant of these flow metres? Are there no cheaper flow metres for the same? Again, we have been using stamp duties. Why are we moving? Is it that we...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) As a matter of procedure, I would like you to give direction as to whether the Chairman is in order to attempt to propose that amendment. We do not have the amendment with us on the Floor and, therefore, have not had time to internalise...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Chairman, thank you for that observation. This is one of those very good amendments. We need to make sure there are no grey areas. There are situations where an organisation is succeeded, maybe by the passage of a statute, and whoever had an...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. As my colleague has just stated, for purposes of continuity and security of tenure of workers who are working in the defunct National Council for Population and Development (NCPD) , this amendment assures them that there will be no disruptions...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This is a very important amendment. It not only ensures that manufacturers declare what they are importing, but also helps in making sure that substandard goods are not imported into this country. I support this amendment, and I believe it...
