SUNKULI, JULIUS LEKAKENY

Hon. Speaker, a substantial part of northern Kenya, including the northeast of Kenya has a lot of issues on stock theft. It is not good to profile one community. The Samburu are also victims of other communities towards the north. Hon. Speaker, you have been a magistrate. If you go...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to second this Motion. As the Committee on Delegated Legislation, we examined this Charter thoroughly and confirmed that it complies with the law and the Constitution. I have the advantage of being a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health where I have interacted very...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, in seconding this important Motion, I wish to first state that, as the Committee on Delegated Legislation, our primary responsibility was to look at the Charter to see if it complied with the law and the Constitution. We confirm that we had a toothcomb analysis of this...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. As is quite clear, the aim is to replace Cap. 378, a colonial law that did not and no longer addresses Kenya’s current ambitions in the blue economy. This Bill comes against a background of declining fish stocks and...

The Committee on Delegated Legislation to which I am a member, has looked into these Regulations with a toothcomb under our able Chairman, Hon. Chepkonga, and a very vibrant team. Indeed, we were able to say that the Regulations comply with the Constitution and the Statutory Instruments Act. They comply...

Hon. Speaker, on my own behalf and that of the people of Kilgoris Constituency, I rise to eulogise Hon. Johanna Ng’eno, the Member for Emurua Dikirr. Johanna was my constituent for many years when Emurua Dikirr was part of Kilgoris Constituency. We journeyed together in politics. At times we were...

Hon. Speaker, as I had already indicated, many of my constituents are involved. Yes, Hon. Julius. As I said, I am in a similar position as Hon. Kuria. I have a request for a Statement, which is yet to be approved by your Office. I appreciate the answer by the...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Member for Kilgoris, Hon. Sunkuli? Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Deputy Speaker has raised very important issues, as you noted. One, as you said, is the cancer issue. Then now, this one of ethanol. I think we are...

Yes, Hon. Speaker. I hope The Hansard reports capture all that we say. Yesterday, there was a technical hitch in the parliamentary live proceedings on YouTube because they ended at 11.59 a.m. All we said after that time is not on record. When we spoke to the Cabinet Secretary today,...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Sunkuli, what is your point of order? Since I have raised the matter in the House, I do not think it is wise for me to go to the DCI. Can I table this document so that the Chairman of the Departmental...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I join the Mover of this Bill and the many good comments that have been made by our honourable ladies. Hon. Cynthia Muge said that the problem we are trying to solve is not short of legislation. There are quite a number of laws including the Sexual...

I am sure that I will also be answered, because I am not the last speaker. We still have two and a half hours. I am sure somebody will have something against what I have said. Hon. Temporary Speaker, new Clause 46 (A) introduces another terminology called teenage pregnancy. Teenage...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

I rise on a point of order to request a more reasoned decision by you on this issue of referring the statement to the Committee. We do not refer matters directly to the Cabinet Secretary. The Committee is not a conduit. In the present setup, what is the role of...

If the Chairman is amending Clause 5, he may consider vacating it, as he has not internalised it. We could say he is dropping the amendment because it does not relate to Clause 5. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : I agree. I now give the Chairman an...

I support the amendment but I would like to bring to the attention of the House that the amendment we have just passed is incorrect. Clause 7 (b) says: “has not been exposed to work experience related to the person’s area of study” The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai)...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I was concentrating on Clause 2 that I forgot about Clause 9. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : We will get to Clause 2. We are yet to handle it. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I propose that Clause 9 be amended by inserting the words “and...

I support, Hon. Temporary Chairlady, in view of the fact that the Social Health Authority (SHA) is not a responsibility for the employer at the moment. It is going to be a contravention of the fact that the employer does not participate in the SHA, and to ask the employer...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I oppose that amendment because it does not conform to the reality in Kenya. Most schools, the Rift Valley Institute, Utalii College and others, require their students to go for an internship, but they are given a period of three months. Introducing a law that excludes a...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, Hon. Gichimu is the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation and I am also a Member of that Committee. This is where the cabinet secretaries get the power to make regulations but it is difficult to put this as a mandatory clause. Let it be a...

I have a problem with that because Clause 15 is a provision on delegated legislation. This one seems to produce another issue. Is this the clause that states that in recruiting candidates for employment, a public service institution shall consider a candidate’s previous internship? Is this a new sub-clause? The...

I urge Members not to pass this amendment. I want to be on record. How can we make a law stating that the Cabinet Secretary shall make regulations in consultation with the relevant State organs? Which are they? Whom will the Cabinet Secretary consult? We should pass laws which we...

(Technical hitch)I am in a difficult position because I am opposing Dr Nyikal, my Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health. I support his concept except that it needs to be followed by a definition of the word preregistration. 3rd December 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 34 The Temporary Chairlady (Hon....

I support the deletion of the word certificate because there would be too many definitions. Under the Kenya National Examinations Council Act, it would have a different definition from this and at any rate, it is not very clear what kind of certificate that would be. If the Chairman has...

It is a request for guidance. I am delighted that you have referred this matter to the Departmental Committee on Lands, because there has been a practice of referring most matters to the Public Petitions Committee, even when they lack the capacity to deal with land issues. What will happen...

I will move it on a particular issue.
