Abdul Rahim Dawood

Hon Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to join my colleagues to contribute to this Bill. (Hon. Phelix Odiwuor stood up in his place) I request to be protected.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. If Hon. Nyikal’s amendment had talked about statutory deductions, it would have been fine. However, the way it has been proposed is vague. It talks of the net salary and that is what the Chairman has talked about. The...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. If you remember, we rid the Mount Kenya region of alcohol in 2015. Licensing is not the only problem. Factories which produce third generation liquors need to be closed down immediately because that is where the problem is. When we...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in supporting the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Motion.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I reply, I would like to donate my few minutes to the following Members; Hon. John Kiragu, Hon. Adan Haji, Hon. Susan Kiamba and Hon. Andrew Adipo. And if there is more time, I will allow Hon. Taitumu...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not want to be selfish. If possible, I wish to donate half a minute to Hon. Rael Kasiwai and another half a minute to Hon. Edith Nyenze.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) I thank all the Members who have contributed to this Bill which should be put into action immediately after being signed into law. Many times, we pass Bills here, but regulations are not put in place to support them. The best thing to do...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition by Hon. Kirima regarding Mr Gerald. The amount of money involved is so petty that somebody can make a mistake in the daily accounts received in a bank. M/s Absa Bank should have been more considerate...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition by Hon. Odege. We should do a classification up to the location level like what the Equalisation Fund is doing. If I tell you that there are some parts of Meru that are hardship areas, you...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose to second the motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2022) , be now read a Third time. I also request Hon. (Dr) Pukose to second.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Petition. It should not just be narrowed down to estate tax. This country is using a lot of taxpayers in pensions and other frivolous expenses like purchase of cars. It is a lot of money from the Exchequer. We should look at...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the amendment by the Mover of the Bill and by the Chairperson of the Committee. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Thank you. The Hon. Kaluma.

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support the amendment by the Chairperson of the Committee, and I request others to support as well. Thank you. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Thank you. (Question, that the new clause be read a Second Time, put and agreed to) (Question, that the new...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree with the reasoning that the Hon. Deputy Speaker had given earlier. That it should encompass all because technologies are used and in the drugs title, it was not there. I support. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon....

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree with what the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health is saying. The Bill is not stating that Nairobi is not the headquarters. It is saying a resolution will be passed to determine where the other branches will be....

Hon. Raheem Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health. To answer Hon. Kaluma’s point, the amendment says you initially need to have a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy, and the Masters can be in any other field besides pharmacy and...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (Imenti North, Independent) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I would request the Chairman to make a slight amendment to what Dr Amollo and Hon. Kaluma suggested where it says, ‘…is a Member of Parliament who can get it on resignation.’ You could be appointed a director-general, and at that...

(North Imenti, Independent) : Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to support the Kenya Drugs Authority Bill and congratulate the Chairperson, Dr Robert Pukose, together with his Committee for the excellent Bill.

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Like I said, I congratulate the Committee led by Hon. (Dr) Pukose. This Bill is very important. It has come at the right time. There are many things out there. There are two groups which are fighting each other because one is not recognised...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had asked for a special request because my grandmother and father were born in Lamu. We have generations in our family born in Lamu. I do not understand the fight between the two Members of Parliament, as Hon. Owen...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Speaker, I am not satisfied with the answer given by the Cabinet Secretary. I am surprised that the Cabinet Secretary would say they do not regulate merchants who use cards like this and Mastercard. Why then do we regulate banks? Why do we...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Did I hear the Cabinet Secretary say he is going to form another committee to check the pending bills and for the last 20 years, they have been doing it and he will do another one and then another one?...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I agree with what the Chairperson has suggested. I am wondering how they will implement for a non- Kenyan coming into the country. Where will they be checking? At the airport or the porous borders?
