Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to welcome the delegation, Members of Parliament from the African continent, and my namesake, Hon.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2022) be read a Second Time. Hon.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to reply and thank all the Members who have contributed to this Bill. I would have really wished that you could have contributed because I saw that you had an interest in 26th July 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this Petition. I have never heard of a community land being turned into a forest. I have heard of forests being given to people but not vice-versa. This is the first time we are hearing this. Hon. Speaker,...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think Hon. Kaluma is misleading this House, or he has not read the Report. The Committee has already proposed to the National Treasury for Clause 36 to be deleted. It has already been deleted. He should read the Report.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Finance Bill. I have seen the Minority Whip, Hon. Junet Mohamed, here. He should do his work. This Report on the Finance Bill has been signed by both sides of the political divide, the Azimio Coalition and...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon Speaker. I support both nominees, especially the former Governor of Bomet, Hon. Isaac Rutto.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the standardisation and production of school uniforms. Uniforms are a very emotive issue in the sense that many schools have different uniforms. We need to have one standard uniform in one colour. You will see students in...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) No, I have not, Hon. Deputy Speaker. (Hon. Opiyo Wandayi stood in his place)

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Hon. Deputy Speaker, he is taking my time. The Leader of the Minority Party is taking my time.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I hope my time will be increased because the Leader of the Minority Party normally takes everybody’s time. The Motion before us to amend the Constitution is a very timely one because we tried to do it in the...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Lastly, we need to do what needs to be done. We do not need side-shows to the effect that we are going to create a parliamentary system whereas we had adopted the presidential system. What does not work, does...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, I want to make a correction. My constituency is not Imenti North, and North Imenti. So, I would wish the Table Office to rectify it because Imenti North is a subcounty and not a constituency.

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication and the Digital Economy the following Question:

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to make a few comments on the Statements that have been requested, but before I do so, I would like to state the fact that I had earlier on raised a Question that was directed to the...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will not say whether I am for this Motion or not because of one reason I have already given to Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi. Minimum and maximum acreage of land should not be a case at all. There are...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support the Motion by Hon. John Kiarie on the empowerment of artisans by the national Government. This Motion is very timely because we have so many innovators among our youth, but they have a problem in...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Ninaunga mkono Hoja hii ya wazee wa mtaani ama wa vijiji. Pia tunao vijana na wamama wa umri tofatuti tofauti.
