Hansard Summary
The session began with a quorum check and procedural reminders from the Temporary Speaker. The substantive contribution came from Dr. Robert Pukose, who advocated for establishing a Swahili Council to promote the language alongside English and warned that the rise of Sheng threatens the purity and utility of Swahili in education, commerce, and healthcare. Hon. John Kiarie moved a motion urging the Parliament to recognise and support youth talent and innovations, stressing the need for administrative measures to commercialise inventions and create jobs in line with Vision 2030. The Temporary Speaker deferred the seconding of the motion and adjourned the sitting until the afternoon.Sentimental Analysis

Mhe.
Nashukuru, Mhe. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa fursa hii ili niweze kuchangia Hoja ambayo imeletwa na Mhe. Yusuf Hassan, Mbunge wa Kamkunji. Lengo lake ni kubuniwa kwa Baraza la Kiswahili katika taifa la Kenya. Lugha yetu ya Kiswahili ni safi. Itakuwa vyema lugha za Kiswahili na Kiingereza zikienda sambamba. Mambo mengi tunayoyafanya tunahitaji lugha itakayotuwezesha kufanya shughuli kadhaa wa kadha; haswa za kimasomo, kibiashara na kimatibabu. Mimi, kama daktari, mara nyingi napenda mgonjwa anieleze kuhusu ugonjwa alionao kwa lugha ambayo anaifahamu vizuri. Kuna watu ambao wanapoongea wanatumia lugha isiyoeleweka. Kizazi cha sasa kinatumia lugha ya mtaa ambayo inaitwa Sheng. Rafiki yangu, Mhe. Babu Owino na jirani yangu Mhe. Caleb Amisi, wanaongea lugha ya Sheng. Hawa vijana lugha yao ni sheng. Hivyo ndivyo tunapoteza lugha yetu ya Kiswahili. Lugha ya Sheng haieleweki miongo mwa Wakenya wengi na watu kutoka mataifa jirani.

DEVELOPMENT OF POLICY ON ARTISAN SKILLS, TECHNOLOGY AND TOOLS
Hon. John Kiarie.
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion:
THAT, aware that there are many talents amongst the youth of this country; noting that these talents have been severally displayed through various inventions and also innovations by the artisans in platforms such as the Annual Youth Innovation Week and profiled on social media; concerned that most of those innovations and artworks do not go beyond making sensational stories in their localities, local dailies and social media mentions; noting that most of those innovations and artworks are crucial in ideas promotion, intellectual development and at creating employment and addressing the problems that affect us as Kenyans on a daily basis; concerned that there is inadequate support and administrative measures to support the artisans; cognizant of the fact that the Kenya Vision 2030 seeks to make our country an industrialized middle-income economy in the next nine (9) years; aware of the immense potential for wealth creation and job opportunities through our own local production generated if well-developed and commercialized; also recognizing that our imports are well in excess of Kshs2
