Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am the Chairman of the African Parliamentarians Network against Corruption (APNAC) . In the next meeting, we will be discussing the challenges migrant workers face. I would like the Prime Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Mudavadi, to confirm whether the United...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Yes, Sir.

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Hon. Speaker, you rightly say that, that exposé has some hidden agenda. As APNAC, we had a conversation with the British High Commissioner, somebody from the British High Commission this afternoon. One of the issues that was raised, was what we are doing about...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Indepndent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank those who have spoken in support of this Motion. It is of great concern to us Kenyans that this is going on. Nobody has mentioned, but you know that President Trump of the United States...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) I propose and request Hon. Caroli to second.

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you. This is one of the darkest periods in our history. I finalise by urging Kenya to rise to the occasion and recognise Palestine as a State. We must also recognise the right of Israel to exist. I strongly support that. Israel must...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have one more request. May I?

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) In the House, we have very well- dressed scouts from Kisumu East. Hon. Temporary Speaker, you are also a member of the World Scout Parliamentary Union (WSPU) , and this reflects the support we have been getting from WSPU. I am very proud to...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I commend Hon. Lesuuda for bringing this Bill. Installation of a bicycle lane is not an expensive exercise. As a matter of fact, it is called light duty road. It does not need a heavy tarmac like what...

Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that among the rights enshrined in the United Nations Charter on Human Rights is the right to life and self-determination by the people; cognisant of the fact that the Israeli occupation...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As a Member of Parliament, I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and that situation deeply troubles me. It is sad to note that whereas the Government is committed to supporting schools, there are teachers who...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Hon. Chairlady, I resoundingly support the proposal. However, as it has been said by others, the Government tells us that recruitment will be in sub-counties. The Government tells us that recruitment will be fair and professionally-conducted and yet, we find those who walk in...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. When I was young, there were agricultural extension officers. As much as I understand the basis of this Bill, I do not understand why we need to reinvent the wheel. They were there. This Bill is just coming up...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent)Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support the amendment. This was causing a very big problem when we were dealing with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) . Initially, this was called the Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) initiative. I recall working in it in Panama over 12...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party. It shows that his eyes are on the ball. As much as I dislike Trumps policies, there are certain things he said that make great sense, like on the U.S. Agency...

Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 1 of the Bill be further amended by inserting the words “immediately upon assent by the President.” immediately after the words “upon publication in the Gazette” I agree with most of the amendments. The Hon....

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) No. The President of this country has made a positive direction on this particular thing, bearing in mind where we are on the grey list. I want to thank the President for doing this, because we have been writing to the Office of the...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This omnibus proposal overlooks the fact that the Estate Agents Act has been used many times for money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism. It was heavily used in Mombasa to launder the proceeds of piracy, and you...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent)Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The proposed Section 2 is doing a very good thing because it has extended the regulatory scope of this very important Act. As we understand, mining operations have been the bane of illicit financial flows and have also...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. As I said, we have been grey-listed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the international community.
