No, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Let us have Hon. Rindikiri.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also support. This will really help farmers research and understand climate change, adapt to the diseases that are prevalent today, and follow up to ensure that agricultural innovations lead to smart farming. Thank you. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Looking at...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is the most important pillar of this Bill. We have been working on who will be coordinating. We support the idea of this Bill having a national scope because we have one data centre that serves the whole country. Through it, we will conduct...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, one of the things that the Constitution makes clear is that we must always respect the main Act. That is why the Chairperson is telling us that the county governments may make specific legislation, but those legislations must not conflict with the main Act. That is the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While we speak about all this, it is very sad that right now in our political rallies, that is the cigarette that our young people are using. We must ask ourselves as a country, as much as you will say it is illegal, you cannot tell...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support and to thank the Committee and our Chair for this mediated report. It was one of the most difficult mediations, as both the Senate and the National Assembly sought to ensure that the two levels of government have adequate resources...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support and to raise a few queries. While I appreciate that it is indeed aimed at improving and strengthening the independence of the Judiciary, we also need to be very careful so that we do not risk becoming bureaucratic, especially when there...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion and appreciate the work that the Budget and Appropriations Committee has done. This is the Budget that closes the 13th Parliament as we go to our elections. One of the things I will talk about is on health...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this very important Bill and to thank the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party for bringing it to this House. When we talk about quality healthcare and patient safety, many may think this pertains solely to illnesses. However, the most...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to thank Hon. Ruweida of Lamu East for bringing this issue to our attention. This matter of identification cards is one in which the women of this country have suffered the most. A young girl who married at 16 struggles to obtain an...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I really appreciate and thank the Committee on Delegated Legislation for bringing this Report to the House. The vision of Kenya-AIST was mooted as far back as 2008. I thank the late His Excellency Mwai Kibaki and the late Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga for mooting...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Fisheries Management and Development Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 29 of 2023) . I thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation, Hon. Kangogo. I hope the Bill will help us transit ourselves from...

Yes.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I withdraw, even though I was doing it with respect. I am also a doctor. When I was the Speaker of Nairobi City County, I was honoured and given a doctorate, but I need to finish some studies to complete it.

For purposes of correcting myself, my party leader is Dr Oburu Oginga, Senator for Siaya. You realise that no other President had the wisdom to speak with our good neighbour, President Yoweri Museveni. But it is something we have to do. This is part of what we need when we...

Ahsante, Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Ninapendekeza kwamba hii Ripoti iwe yetu sote. Tukubaliane na Ripoti kwamba ni vyema kama Wakenya tusimame na tusikize maswala ya Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki. Katika hii Ripoti, Wakenya wametoa changamoto kwa maswala yanayofanyika haswa, wanapofanya kazi katika nchi ya Tanzania. Kenya pia yafaa kuangalia sheria...

Thank you. I also rise to support this Bill. When we dealt with certificates and diplomas way back, we would keep them separate. Why? One, to ensure you have skilled students or Kenyans for job creation. They used to work very closely with a university student. A university student would...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion, as I appreciate the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriation for the Supplementary Budget before us. 1st April 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 52 [The Temporary Speaker (Hon.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to send my condolences to the people of Ol Kalou and, more importantly, the family of Hon. Kiaraho. 31st March 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 25 Contribute for one minute. Hon. Karani will also contribute for one minute and then Hon. Rindikiri will close...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to also support the Motion for the approval of the Sessional Paper No. 3 on the proposed Partial Divestiture of Safaricom PLC by the Government of Kenya. Safaricom was a profitable company in this country. And as we sell the shares, it has...

While I want to agree with the Chairman, I also want us to think through. You can see how the Social Health Authority (SHA) is really pushing us. Sometimes it ends up eating us in this House. This is a very important Fund. Let us not just push because we...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. This retires the proposed amendment by Hon. Mathenge. The amendment by my brother, Hon. Member of Parliament for Nyeri Town, will not be a right amendment for our House. Already, it is a breach of conflict. We will have a lot of challenges if we try...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Report on the BPS for the Financial Year 2026/2027. I will be very brief. One of the things I would like to appreciate Hon. Atandi’s Committee for is the matter of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) . Indeed, we...
