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. 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. 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. Kaluma.

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. I do not understand what the...

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 medicine. In the Constitution, lawyers had...

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 time you are a Member of...

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 has said. I can remember what...

(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. 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 regulate digital payments like M-Pesa? If...

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? We will not come to an...

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?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to welcome the delegation, Members of Parliament from the African continent, and my namesake, Hon. Dawood, a Member of Parliament from another country. They should know there is another Hon. Dawood, of a different colour. Let me congratulate Mheshimiwa Mule on his leadership...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Firstly, I support the Motion by Hon. Jane Njeri Maina, Member for Kirinyaga. Comprehensive health education is a good subject for schools. However, we need to be careful with what we teach our children. We may be going overboard in some of the CBC subjects...

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. Temporary Speaker, the passage of this Bill will require all State organs in the national Government, county governments, State corporations, constitutional commissions,...

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 the Bill. It needs to be implemented. Many Acts of Parliament,...

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, as a country, we need to...

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.

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 the Kenya Kwanza Coalition. So, I...

Thank you, Hon Speaker. I support both nominees, especially the former Governor of Bomet, Hon. Isaac Rutto. He has proved himself beyond reasonable doubt. He will work with my sister the Chief Justice, Martha Koome, who comes from my constituency. I know they will get along. With the experience he...
