Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) On a point of order.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Member moving this Motion is misleading the House. He has mentioned the former Chair of KUTRH directed and gave autonomy to KUTRH. I happen to have been a Member of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) in the 12th Parliament...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise with both conviction and clarity to second this Motion. At the onset, allow me to salute the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations for executing its constitutional mandate with diligence and discernment of statesmen. In the...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Yes.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairperson. I support the amendment because for the first time in the life of this Government, we are reducing taxes at a rate of 25 per cent. We should see the same reduction in terms of power supply when we are...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I just want to emphasise the need for telemedicine and e-medicine because we have to move with technology. With the introduction of the Social Health Authority (SHA) , which allows hospitals to interconnect, a patient may be in a facility...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for being magnanimous. I know the mood of the House is that the Mover be called upon to reply. I wish to add my voice to the nomination of the Principal Secretary, State Department for Trade. Looking at her credentials,...

Hon. Thuku Kwenya (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. In a very special way, I want to support this Bill. However, even as we support, it is both a win and a loss in the sense that once we amend this law as it...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to ride on the established questions. I heard the Cabinet Secretary say that they have a list of the administrative units they will operationalise and that the priority is based on security and population size. Some administrative units in...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Speaker, I am waving at the Clerk-at-the- Table for him to spot where I am sitting. I thank you for giving me this opportunity to welcome a great school in my constituency by the name of Magomano Girls’. I want to assure them that...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) On point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Sadly, the Leader of the Minority Party is misleading this House. The former Cabinet Secretary he is talking about was not fired because of incompetence. The President did not state any reason. It is unfair for the Leader of the Minority...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) None was fired because of incompetence. We took them through a rigorous process when we were vetting them. They are equal to the task. Indeed, they said that they can be assigned any role by the President.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish in a very special way to emphatically support this proposal. I cannot wait for the day that we are going to discuss the entrenchment of this Bill into the Constitution, so that we...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you. I do not find this amendment necessary for a simple reason. Of course, there are articles and Memorandum of Association that we use to register companies at the Registrar of Companies. Therein we address the kinds of businesses we will carry out. It...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. In as much as I would wish to support this amendment I think the timeframe cited is too short. Growing from a core capital of Ksh1 billion to Ksh10 billion within a span of four years is really unreasonable. Like...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) I support that amendment for the simple reason that asking manufacturers to register with the standards body… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : You want a further amendment. Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) No. I am supporting that amendment, because asking the manufacturers to...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the insertion of this new clause. Business people have suffered in this country in the hands of the Government and its entities. You supply goods, with the expectation that you are going to be paid in good time....

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute. I was checking with the Clerk-at-the-Table to ensure I am still in the queue. First, I wish to take this opportunity to support this omnibus Business Laws (Amendment) Bill. I am very happy with this...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I heard the Member mention the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, which is not being discussed today. Is he anticipating debate against the rules of the House?
