Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the approval of the Budget Estimates for the 2017/2018 Financial Year.

Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I gladly second this Motion on Senate Amendments to the Water Bill. I appreciate our Senators. For sure, they added value. They even brought in some new concepts like “geo-referencing” to the Bill. When we say we reject this or that, it is...

Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Advancing human rights in this country is something very critical. It is also very important for some of us who come from the marginalized parts of this country. The human rights enjoyed by the rest of Kenyans are hardly enjoyed by pastoralists...

Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to second Sessional Paper No.11 of 2014 on National Education for Sustainable Development Policy.

Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have the pleasure of seconding this Sessional Paper No. 10 of 2014 on National Environment Policy. It was moved very well by the Chairperson of the Committee, Hon. (Ms.) Amina. I really want to add my voice to assure the House...

Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment. It is very good for us to have people with merit and who have preferred qualifications to serve in our Board of Trustees. It should not be left to politicians or the Executive to make that decision on...

Hon. Ganya Hon Temporary Deputy Chairman, I commend the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives for that observation. This is purely a devolved function and it would really have created a constitutional issue if it were to go as it is. I commend them. The Temporary Deputy Chairman (Hon....

Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to oppose this amendment simply because I find the amount of penalty imposed on industrial fishermen who come with large vessels and do so much damage to our coast so minimal. A fine of Kshs100,000 is too little. The Temporary...

Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support this amendment. Initially I have been opposing some of the amendments because the penalties that they were imposing were so modest, but with this I am so happy with the kind of penalty they have proposed.

Hon. Ganya Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in terms of the procedure, I fully concur with your position. However, on Page 975 of the Order Paper that I have it shows that these are Committee amendments. It does not show anywhere Hon. Millie’s name. So, unless we have different sets of...

Hon. Ganya Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. In our Constitution, we have the Transition Authority because we wanted a constitutional commission or entity that would look into issues of transfers within certain periods. As the National Assembly, we took a position and that position is very clear. The Senate...

Hon. Ganya Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support the Excise Duty Bill 2015. It is a good Bill. As a country, we must fund our budget. This is one strategy of raising revenue to develop this nation. The Bill simplifies...
