Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I have instructions to table it, but the Table Office did not give it to me. I had instructions to table it.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to send my heartfelt condolences on my own behalf, on behalf of my family and the 6.5 millions of Kenyans with disabilities that I represent in this House, to the family of the...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to send my heartfelt condolences on my own behalf, on behalf of my family and the 6.5 millions of Kenyans with disabilities that I represent in this House, to the family of the...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to oppose this Motion. This is a Procedural Motion. It aims at exempting Motions sponsored by Private Members, yet those sponsored by the Leaders of the Majority and Minority parties or the Government are considered on Tuesday, Wednesday...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) The work of the Opposition is to keep the Government in check. (Loud consultations)

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I want to inform my Chair.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we thank all the Members who contributed and supported this Bill. We have taken into consideration the views of those who had a different opinion. I beg to second. (Question proposed)

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support this Bill. I welcome my colleague and fellow pastoralist, Hon. Hire, to assist us in supporting this Bill. That is because for a long time, our...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) On a point of order. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Hon. Waluke, just hold on. What is out of order, Hon. Sankok? Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Huduma Namba is supposed to be for human...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when you say that we should vote either Ayes or Noe, he is not saying “Ayes”. He is the one who is moving the amendments. I am the only one who is saying it. The Temporary Deputy Chairman (Hon. Christopher...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment which is very important. A coffee research institute should produce coffee seeds and seedlings for multiplication not only for our local market, but also for international market. I support this amendment. The Temporary Deputy Chairman...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, he has said, Clause 92. The Temporary Deputy Chairman (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : He mentioned Clause 92A, but we are dealing with Clause 92. Clause 92A is a New Clause which we shall deal with. Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated,...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this Clause 42D especially when it comes to part (2) which states thus: “Every coffee factory shall, by resolution of its members in Annual General Meeting, designate a registered miller for its parchment coffee.” So, this one will...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I support this one. It is very important, especially when you come to New Clause 54B (3) which says that a county government in the coffee growing areas may, separately or in unison with the Board, support coffee growers’ participation in local and international...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Yes, I was mentioned by the Hon. Otiende Amollo. From his argument, if these are the type of lawyers that were promoting the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) , no wonder it was declared null, void and unconstitutional. I sympathise with those who trusted him...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker, I was in this House when we were discussing this Bill. We are not saying that we will not support the Huduma Bill. We are saying that the Second Reading of the Bill was completed at 1.05 p.m. today. In fact, we...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker, I never mentioned any Member. A heckler is someone who talks back at you when you are making your point. Hon. Kimunya has that habit of talking back at Members when they are contributing. When you gave me a chance to talk,...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker because of the much respect I have for you--- (Laughter)

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) For the respect I have for you, Hon. Speaker--- You have led us with a lot of passion, diligence and wisdom only equated to the biblical Solomon. Therefore, I withdraw and apologize. Facts are facts, but I am withdrawing them so that I can...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I have respect for all Hon. Members. I withdraw and apologise.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a problem with Clause 14 (b) 3, which says: “Where a person is required or permitted to provide a certified copy of a document and the document exists in paper or other physical form, that requirement shall be...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am not satisfied.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, why are we saying that the document should have a signature in a world where we are moving towards coding. We should just say: “…if the security features are authentic.” If we say that the document will have an electronic...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I am okay. Now that he has referred to UDA, I am okay. (Question, that the words to be left out be left out, put and agreed to) (Question, that the words to be inserted in place thereof be inserted, put and agreed to)...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the other Chair, who is looking very beautiful in green, is actually becoming so brief to an extent that we are not even understanding what the import of the amendment is. If it is competitive recruitment, it should not be...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Surely, I do not know and I do not seem to understand the import of replacing the advance relevant degree with a relevant post graduate degree. Why should it be a post graduate degree? In most State corporations, according to Mwongozo, a degree is...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I support this amendment. It is very important for Government entities and even persons who import or export. As a country, we have a deficit in terms of what we export. We import almost everything. So, if we have the leeway of involving these...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, even though I am not endowed with English like my brother, Jared Okelo, I will try. Nitajikakamua. New Clause 25A (c) is a bit superficial. A member of the board can be removed from office when he resigns. Of course,...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very important Bill and I thank the Committee, led by Vice-Chair, Hon. Ruth Mwaniki, April 13, 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 38 Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP)who is an expert in trade. She has taken...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. It is very important that we are discussing this Bill, when you are seated on that Chair. The National Disaster Risk Management Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 28 of...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we cannot mislead the whole country. He is becoming like the Principal Secretary who told us that the Pipeline Company is wet yet Kenyans are queuing in pump stations; vehicles are stuck on roads and motorcycles are at home because...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I congratulate you for joining the best ‘collusion’ that is not deficient of trust and has all Kenyans.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Yes. Thank you, very much, Hon. Speaker. As I support what Feisal from Msambweni has said on this Petition…

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Of course, what you are thinking about is what I meant. It depends on where you were born, brought up and who your English teacher was. You are not here to teach me English pronunciations. Anyway, thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for joining...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) They said we are wet!

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support and urge Members to support the amendment. During party primaries, when it is considered final, you cannot party-hop. You must remain in that party. We may go back to the Kenya African National Union (KANU) days. We will...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) As we agree on this amendment, because it is very straightforward, I wonder: Suppose, we have 300 independent candidates for Parliament and 1,000 independent candidates for county assemblies, and all of them have to have symbols, do you not think that all the symbols...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment fully because it is very good. Thank you very much, Leader of the Majority Party, although you pushed it to the Vice-Chairman, Hon. T. J. Kajwang’. This is an affirmative action top...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Hon. Members of Parliament from the coffee growing areas like Hon. Jude Njomo are just somewhere April 12, 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 42 Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP)around. There is the issue of quorum. Let us just call them...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment because it is very important. I support because health is a devolved function. It is very important for us to have the county governments come in and also have the Council represented. I support, Hon. Temporary...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment because we cannot use words like “community health unit” without having definition. Again, the community health workers should be within the community so they can resolve matters arising in that particular community. You cannot be a...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Before I even go the nitty-gritties of this Bill, let me commend you, because the NG-CDF has done a lot. As a PWD and having been the Chairman of the National...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Hon. Sankok, please, allow Hon. Nduati to finish his submission. I discern his intentions are noble.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on a point of order. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Member for Karachuonyo, just hold on. Hon. Sankok has a point of order. Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I respect the Member...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I seek your guidance on a matter that has left Parliament with rotten eggs on its face. How did an unconstitutional, null and void document pass through both Houses of Parliament? Does it mean that Parliament does not have a competent...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I will make reference to it.

Hon. David Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am seeking guidance from the Chair.

Hon. David Sankok (Nominated, JP) You know that the BBI passed through this House, county assemblies and…

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to interrogate this very important Bill. Children are our future. There is no country without children. This Bill has attracted a lot of interest. I do not know where the interest it attracts emanates...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Otiende Amollo did not listen to me carefully. I said that before we tabled our report as a Committee, the Bill was moved. Normally, a report is tabled first and then the Bill is moved after Members have gone...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was only trying to build a point. Why all this interest and haste? People are raising points of order because of conflict of interest. I have painfully heard that Hon. Otiende Amollo seconded the Bill. We support...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) The statement that I made was not with bad intention. It is only that he seconded while the report was not ready. You hear that he was even hijacked just to second because there was a hurry because of the conflict of interest. However,...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have so much respect for my colleague here. He is a very intelligent Member of Parliament. However, he is out of order because he is saying that we should allow children to choose which country they should...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Bill. From the layman’s perspective, it is a Bill that will ease licensing and doing business in this country just the way we have the Huduma Namba. We...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I was waiting for the other petition because I wanted to comment on it. Hardship allowance is important. It should be given to the well-deserving. I am waiting for the other petition.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement by Hon. Duale. It has come at the right time when Kenyans are really suffering. We are in an emergency situation. I thank the Vice Chairperson of the Departmental...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to speak to this important Bill – the Elections (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.3 of 2022) . At the outset, I oppose it. I do not understand who is chasing...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I do not deny the constitutionality of appealing against a disputed election. However, I am against post-election violence as a result of rejection of outcome of elections. Thank you very much, Prof. Oundo, for reminding me that we also experienced post-election violence in 1992....

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to thank you for the wise and well researched ruling that you have given, which can only be equated to the Solomonic ruling of the Supreme Court delivered today that declared BBI as dead as a dodo....

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Yes.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Yes, Hon. Speaker. I just wanted to congratulate you for that wise ruling. I will love it as a Kenyan. We respect the ruling, but the HBC should expedite most of the Bills. Hon. Speaker, the ruling in the Supreme Court also concurs well...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to congratulate Hon. Osotsi who is a Nominated Member of Parliament like me and a professional in the ICT field. He has decided to streamline this profession just like any other profession so that they are...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was trying to prosecute my point on how the passage of this Bill will protect us from such information that is of national interest. When you claim that your deputy wanted to impeach you, it is… I was almost...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am very happy that you are on the Speaker’s seat while I am contributing. People do not know that you are my daughter in terms of culture; and I am very happy. The Temporary Deputy...

Hon David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon Speaker, I want to seek your guidance because yesterday we had the Supplementary Budget. As a House, we adopted the Report of the Parliamentary Committee on Broadcasting and Library on the Formulation of Parliamentary Broadcasting Channel last year, but I did not see...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) No, I am just keen in following, but I do not sit in that Committee.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker, how do you have all this information on your fingertips? All of it! I am shocked!

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have been given today’s Order Paper, but most of us are really lost and we would like to know where we are. Hon Shamalla, who is a law maker and a very competent lawyer, is also lost.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated JP) Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I am okay because an even number for voting purposes is not tenable. Again, as far as we have 11 members according to Mwongozo, and half of them, which is five members, is quorum, then I support. March 30, 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 12...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) The way this Board is being proposed, I see Members like the Principal Secretary and Director-General for Health. Both the Principal Secretary and the Director General for Health come from the Government side. I think the need to have State corporations on such boards...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Before I go to the issues that have been raised by “His Excellency, Aden Duale” Hon. Nyamita has insinuated that this House had broken rules before and that if somebody murdered somebody last year, he is in line...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) First of all, just to put the record straight, I was nominated by Jubilee Party and not by an individual. Ever since we had a Chairperson put in place for being politically correct, we have had problems. That is why we end up having...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) On a point of order.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker, reading the mood of the House, we are in concurrence. I, therefore, request that the Mover be called upon to reply according to Standing Order No. 95.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, there is a problem in Clause 11 (b) - “Engage experts and resource persons whenever necessary for the discharge of its functions under this Act.” This is where corruption happens in State corporations. I have been a Chair of a...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment. It is closely related to clause 4. A university cannot train and, at the same time, licence radiographers. We have seen some professional organisations that train and license at the same time. So, I support the...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I perfectly support this one. Hon. Chairman, you did thorough research because clause 39 is in line with clause 4, so that we do not have an overlap of duties and the regulator cannot be at the same time the examiner. So, support and...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, he has raised a very pertinent issue. It can mean you have both or you have one, which I disagree. Here, it is on record on the Hansard that we are correcting commas and grammatical errors. So, let us just...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It should go on record that we were in the Third Reading and that, while we were in the Third Reading, we thanked all the Members who brought amendments. This is a very important Bill because there is...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Thank you for acknowledging that I normally come here very early and leave after you so that I can earn from my sweat. Let me also welcome the students to follow the proceedings of the House. I support...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) That is noted, Hon. Speaker. I think we have been so busy because of the forth coming elections. However, we still need to comb through this Report. We will double charge our citizens. Why were the toll stations removed in the first place? It...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) I am well guided and I agree with you, but I do not support.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Fund. I do not need to overemphasise the March 24, 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 17 Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP)importance of CDF. In terms of distribution, it...

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Not yet. I just heard her complaining that she has a point of order.

Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker, you have guided me well with your immense wisdom. I am already through with my contribution that we really need that March 24, 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 18 Hon. David ole Sankok (Nominated, JP)efficiency so that we do not delay the payment...
