Jeremiah Ng'ayu Kioni

Hon. Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, JP) I have a problem with the proposed amendment. What are we amending? We have already deleted that section. That is where we are starting from. Unless we reinstate the provision in the Act and then consider the amendment by the Leader of the Majority Party,...

Hon. Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, JP) We did away with Millie’s. We went back to the Act. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, JP) We need a clarification that will help us go through all the other sections. We can get it from the Leader of the Majority Party or the Chair on whether these amendments do not dilute in any way the powers of the Commission. We are...

Hon. Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, allow me to just declare that my brother is a Vice-Chancellor. It is unfortunate that Hon. Millie dropped her amendment.

Hon. Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, JP) I think we can see the effects of going late into the night. It is affecting some people differently. It is expected. It has a lot to do with what time one slept. What I wanted to say is that, Hon. T. J. will understand...

Hon. Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, perhaps, we can get clarification. Are all the people we would want considered for this slot, members of the Kenya private sector association? I doubt. The membership is not a statutory requirement. It is a voluntary association. By bringing it here,...

Hon. Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to concur with quite a number of people who have spoken before me. We have an issue of child trafficking in this country. Even as we want to address that issue, it is necessary that we do...

Hon. Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson. This is just to ask whether we can get a clarification from the Committee so that we do not just vote. Let us hear why they think it is necessary to have two members.
