Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) I would like to undertake that we will provide a comprehensive response within 21 days, taking cognisant of the fact that the House will rise for recess tomorrow. We will probably report when the House reconvenes in the other week. I thank you, Hon....

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would be very happy to request Hon. Johana Ng’eno to report in the next two weeks. I am, however, also taking cognisant of the fact that Members are going on recess; ten days is two weeks. Within that period, it...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in this issue. It is very important to have examination integrity in this country, which gives the Kenyan certificate what it requires. Examination issues are sensitive. As our children sit for examinations, we need...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table: report on project proposals, approvals, disbursement status, and restrictions

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) I support the amendment by the Chairperson. Additionally, I believe what Hon. T.J. is saying. Organisations that must be led by lawyers must be led by lawyers, the same as pharmaceutical organisations. I think we need to professionalise our way of doing things. If...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I am wondering where the amendments by Hon. Kaluma and Hon. Oluoch are. We do not have any amendments by Hon. Kaluma on Clause 7.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) We are on Clause 7. Does he have amendments? Where are the further amendments? I understand the idea of further amendments, but they are not on record. Where are they on record? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Otiende.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) For the sake of neatness of debate and so that we understand how we are moving, it is important that if Hon. Kaluma had an amendment… I heard the Speaker, very clearly say that there are certain amendments he had approved to be brought...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) No. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Oluoch, do you want to contribute to this amendment?

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I agree with Hon. Nyikal who was once a Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Health, and also the Director-General of KEMSA. The members of the board being nominated by the cabinet secretary under Clauses 8 (2) (e) ,...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) If Hon. Otiende’s amendment comes in, we are amending what we have already passed and that is the import of carrying the amendments by the Chair. This should have been done much earlier because it is incorporated in the amendment, but as it is...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairperson, I think that statement by Hon. Mayaka should be expunged from the record because it is self-incriminating. She is saying she did an illegal thing and wants this House to be used as a spring board for such. She needs to...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, there is a difference between the committees that are set up in Clauses 13 (e) and 21 of the Bill. Clause 13 (e) of the Bill says that the Authority shall have powers necessary or expedient for the proper performance of...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I would like to draw Hon. Kaluma’s attention to Clause 21 (2) of the Bill which says that the scientific advisory committees established under subsection (1) shall be in addition to those established in the Fourth Schedule of this Bill. If...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, as we progress we may start defining what traditional medicine is, which will take us to the Second Reading stage. This Bill has been debated. A report by the Committee is available. If someone has an amendment, we should discuss it...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table: DANIDA FY06, SIDA 51110081, IDA GESDEK-6133-KE,

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 44 (2) (a) to give a Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 17th October 2023 to prioritise the business for consideration during the week. (Hon. Silvanus Osoro and Hon. Jerusha...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have two statements. First, are the usual Statements by the Leader of the Majority Party on Thursdays. I wish to present the Statement on sanitary towels first, and then I could go to the Thursday Statements. Is that okay?

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We have a response to questions concerning the availability of female hygiene products in schools by Hon. Ichung’wah, the Leader of the Majority Party. It is a lengthy Statement, but I will try to get it shortened a little...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) I also want to say that it is very un- parliamentary.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I take cognisance of the fact that the Member is new in this Parliament. She does not know that one cannot say that someone is lying in this House. It is un-parliamentary. You may say: “It is far away from the...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Since the transfer of the mandate for the Sanitary Towels Programme, the State Department for Gender and Affirmative Action has put the following strategies in place to procure and distribute sanitary towels for girls:

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) We request your indulgence on the El Nino Statement, that we present it next Thursday, if you will allow us to do that.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) They can take this discussion to Kisii, and not here. Hon. Members will recall that the House held a morning Sitting on Tuesday, 17th October, intended to provide time to consider priority legislative business. This included the health sector Bills that are intended to...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to present the usual Thursday Statement. (Hon. Silvanus Osoro stood up in his place) Now that I am starting to do this, I request the Whip of the Majority Party to sit down.
