Next Order!

The first Question is by Nominated Member, Hon. Wilson Sossion. Question No.296/2018

Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection the following Question:

I am sure the House knows that Hon. Sossion is a key recognised trade unionist in this country leading a very vibrant union. I hear the Member for Endebess suggesting that perhaps he is looking for clients from Safaricom. That is what the Member for Endebess is suggesting. However, Hon. Sossion, I am sure that is not what you are doing. The Question is referred to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, but as you know what is likely to happen later in the day, this is something for record.

Next Question is by Nominated Member, Hon. Godfrey Osotsi.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question 287/2018 directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Co-ordination of the National Government.

The Question is referred to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security.

Hon. Members, that is the end of Question Time. As you noticed, Order No. 7 is Questions and Statements. We are not yet through. I want to inform the House that today being the last sitting day of this Second Session, all those Questions, including the ones which you have just asked, and the Petitions which have not been dealt with will lapse by operation of law. Therefore, the Members who have Questions that are pending are advised to visit the Table Office as soon as the House resumes so as to get their Questions prioritised and given new numbers because they cannot go bearing the number of the year 2018. The new ones will bear the number of the year 2019. This is an advice.

Member for Suba North.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I rise under Standing Order No. 84 to give a Personal Statement. I wish to go on record in relation to issues that were raised about me by the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Aden Duale, on 15th November 2018 during the Morning and Afternoon Sittings while discussing the Statute Law

(Miscellaneous Amendment)

Bill, and specifically in relation to the Children Act

. His comments form part of the parliamentary record.

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 14

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 15

Hon. Duale.

Hon. Speaker, you need to check whether the document is admissible as per parliamentary practice. A Member cannot just table a document. It can be a Mwakenya or a very seditious document planning to overthrow the legally elected Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta. So, the Hon. Speaker must say it is admissible before it is accepted.

Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee that met on Tuesday this week.

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 16

The Member engaging the Member for Suba North may have been inspired by the Personal Statement.

Hon. Members, I have examined the document. It may be of interest to Members. It is a mini profile. It contains aspects of their philosophy, history, programmes and such like material. It is useful for Members who may wish to understand the organisation CRADLEO.

Hon. Members, as you are aware, at the rise of the Sitting today, the House is scheduled to proceed on a long recess up to Tuesday, 12th February 2019 at 2.30 p.m. as per the Calendar of the House as already stated by the Leader of the Majority Party, in what marks the conclusion of the Second Session of the National Assembly in the 12th Parliament. I wish to commend the House for the diligence and commitment to the business of the House throughout the Session. The last two months have been exceptional.

The Session saw the House transact key business. Quite notable too is the early mastery of parliamentary procedures and practices among first time legislators as we approached the end of the Session. I want to encourage those that have yet to come to terms with the practices and procedures of the House to pay keener interest to what happens in the House. We have also benefited immensely from the long serving Members of the House. You have, as a House, made tremendous contribution to the governance of our country be it in plenary, in committees or across the constituencies you represent.

As is our tradition, Committee activities will hereafter stand suspended from 11th December 2018 until Monday, 4th February 2019 being the first week of February 2019 except Public Accounts Committee and Public Investments Committees whose sittings shall stand suspended until Monday, 28th January 2019 in recognition of the nature of their mandates.

The suspension is to allow you to spend valuable time with your families, those who have, during the holiday season and also attend to your constituents. In addition, this will give the staff of Parliament an opportunity to take their annual leave and also begin preparations for the next Session.

Hon. Members, I wish you a happy, safe and restful festive season, and a prosperous New Year, 2019.

Let us move to the next Order.

Hon. Members, let us transact this business. It is important. You concluded business on this Bill. What remains is to put the Question.

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 17

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the National Youth Service Bill, National Assembly Bill No.26 of 2018 be now read a Third Time.

I request Hon. Ali Wario, Member for Bura and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to second.

Hon. Wario.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to second.

Put the Question.

That is the desire of the House.

Hon. Members, the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.29 of 2018 debate was concluded in the morning. What is left is for me to put the Question.

Hon. Members, before the House goes to Committee of the whole House, I plead with the House that it may be desirable that as many of you as are present remain present to conclude this business and the next one.

As you know, the next one entails your decision on approval of the nominees for appointment as the Vice Chair and the Members of the Public Service Commission. I will urge

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 18

Hon. Chairman, I beg to move that the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill and its approval thereof without amendments.

I wish to ask Hon. Kimaru to second. The Temporary Deputy Chairman

: That does not need to be seconded.

The Temporary Deputy Speaker

(Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu)

: Order Members!

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 19

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill and approved the same without amendment.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I request Hon. Kimaru to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second.

The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : We do not have the requisite number. Can we have the Quorum Bell rung?

The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : I can now confirm that we have the requisite number for the purpose of putting the Question.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, be now read the Third Time. I request Hon. Waititu, Member for Juja to second.

The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : You are not on record. Go on record as seconding.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second.

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 20

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order 95 to move – since this matter was debated exhaustively in the morning – that, the Mover be now called to reply.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. First of all, I want to thank hon. Members for their contribution. I want them to know that my Committee has listened to all their submissions and their concerns have been taken into account by the Committee. I also want to thank the Members of my Committee for the many hours they have put in this work to make sure that we vetted all the nominees.

In conclusion, I thank hon. Members again for their contribution. We will make sure that what they have submitted is done by the Public Service Commission.

With those remarks, I reply.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Chairperson of the Special Funds Accounts Committee I beg to move the following Motion:

THAT, this House adopts the Fourth Report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee on Audited Financial Statements for the Kenya Roads Board Fund for the Year ended June 2017, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 4thDecember 2018.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Special Funds Accounts Committee (SFAC) is amongst the three watchdog Committees of the 12th Parliament responsible for examination of

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 23

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Report. It is important that at the earliest possible opportunity the country gets to know how these percentages which have been forwarded by KRB to the relevant Departments of KeRRA, KURA, KeNHA and the county governments are utilised because it is the elephant in the room.

I want to acknowledge that, indeed, KRB has done their work well. We went through their books and did not find many things amiss. We just want to appreciate that continuously there has been improvement in the allocation of funds raised, especially the amounts allocated to our roads. Indeed, it is evident that our roads in almost every part of this country have improved because they are maintained and new roads are being constructed.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second.

The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : I see no interest to speak on this and this calls for me to put the Question. Hon. Members, I see you are contented with the Report and, therefore, I call upon the Mover to reply. He can Move and then reply that the House has no issues.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My understanding is that Members have gone through the Report and, as we were informed by the Auditor-General, the Report was unqualified as per their opinion and there were no issues. I think the Members also realised there were no issues and that is why they are ready to adopt it.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : This is a sign that Members have already looked at the Report and they are contented with it. All the Reports are available. Hon. Members, guided by our own Standing Orders, we will not be able to put the Question to the Motion on the Fourth Report on Audited Financial Statements for the Kenya Roads Board Fund for the year ended 30th June 2017. So, I do order that the Question be put at

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 24

(Off-record) The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : The Vice Chair is there. Now when I call the Chair, I mean if you are the Vice Chair you are equal. Badala ya Musa ni Hussein.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I checked last, my Chair was around. However, as you have stated, I think he did not imagine that we would go through the Orders so fast.

The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : Are you authorised to do that?

I have capacity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : Do you want to move or have you consulted the Chair?

I want to move. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : Have you been authorised?

I have capacity, unless there are different instructions.

The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : You know you are the one who told the House that the last time you checked, the Chair was present. Being the Vice Chair, you know you have the capacity and authority. Go ahead and move.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Insurance (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly No. 21 of 2018) be read a Second Time.

Our Committee went through this Bill up to public participation. We interviewed and had a chance to speak to Kenyans from all walks of life and particularly the most important stakeholders, that is, the Association of Insurance Brokers of Kenya, Bima Intermediaries Association of Kenya, Britam Holdings PLC, APA Insurance Limited and many other underwriters, brokers, attorneys and legal experts. We took time to go through their petitions and also to hear what they had to say about this Bill. I wish to inform the House that this Bill was submitted to the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning in line with the proposals announced in the Budget from 2018/2019.

December, 06, 2018 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 25

Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : We have an intervention by the Member for Seme. Could we get his intervention? Member for Roysambu, resume your seat.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to bring your attention to the fact that we do not quorum in the House.

The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : The Hon. Member was moving the Bill and Hon. Nyikal rose on a point of order. That is in the Standing Orders. So, I order the Quorum Bell to be rung.

Hon. Members, when the Quorum Bell is being rung, you cannot walk out of the Chamber unless you are the Whip. If you do it, I will declare you out of order. Serjeant-at-Arms should always ensure that Members follow procedures.
