Hon. Bowen Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As we consider the amendment by Hon. Olago Aluoch, we should not sacrifice the independence of Parliament because of a political experience. This Report is before Parliament. As Members of Parliament, we have a right to amend the Report, and debate and reject...

Hon. Bowen Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to also air my views about the two Petitions by Hon. Gathogo and Hon. Munuve of Mwingi North. The case of the KNH is very serious. A patient was admitted to a highly secure hospital like KNH and unfortunately...

Hon. Bowen Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the Petition by Hon. Tim Wanyonyi. I heard the Member saying that the students are claiming freedom of expression to demonstrate but under Article 24 of the same Constitution, there is a limitation of...

Hon. Bowen Hon. Speaker, I had a proposed amendment to the Energy Amendment Bill. I appeared before the Committee almost one year and six months ago. I have not seen my proposal making progress from the Committee. It has not gone anywhere, yet I have not heard the Chair of...

Hon. Bowen

Hon. Bowen Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to contribute, but my point has already been discussed by Hon. Wamalwa. The current term of Parliament, going by the Constitution, expires in August. We will not have finished five years by then. So, extending the election date to December...

Hon. Bowen Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to second this amendment by Hon. Wamalwa. This is a very good amendment for the country and for the Government. Remember we are bringing in new commissioners to the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) . We have had problems...

Hon. Bowen (Inaudible) (Question of the new clause proposed)

Hon. Bowen Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a very mischievous amendment and cannot be entertained. This House passed that amendment and recommitting it at this time is very mischievous. It is bad for this country and this Government. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Bowen Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment. It is good not to leave it open ended because the way it is framed by the Committee, it is not clear. The amendment by Hon. Millie makes it very clear. I support. The Temporary Deputy Chairman (Hon. Kajwang’) :...

Hon. Bowen Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Budget. At this point, I want to congratulate the hon. Chairman for the good work they have done especially in unlocking the mediation process. This is a point we need to look at as a House so that in...

Hon. Bowen There is nothing out of order, Benja. Just keep quiet. As much as I support this Budget, there is no money which has been allocated for buying maize from farmers.

Hon. Bowen Hon. Speaker, I said that many elites of this country, including some Members of Parliament have taken their children to NIS and these are people with different qualifications. They are not actually related to security.

Hon. Bowen I was not specific about any Member. I withdraw and apologize, hon. Speaker. (Laughter)

Hon. Bowen Hon. Speaker, you will add me two minutes because hon. Benjamin wasted my time. (Laughter)

Hon. Bowen Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. This is the way forward. We have had contention in committees over issues, for example, the discussion on the Division of Revenue Bill. I am happy that this...
