Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. Extension officers are key to our farming systems. I got the opportunity to work as an extension officer for a very long time. In the olden days, food production was adequate because the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was eagerly waiting for Order No.15 so that I could move the Bill. However, let me say two things about the policy. It is important that we have a policy on the environment because it is where we live. The environment affects everybody on...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also rise to add my voice to the Statement Request. It is crucial that we look for jobs for our youths. Currently, there is a large number of youths who have completed university...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Thank you for your guidance, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The only thing I would add is that as the Chairperson considers this issue, he should be very objectified in ensuring the safety, security and proper working environment for Kenyans going abroad. These are parameters that...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Okay.

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I support the report of the committee. This is one of the most diverse commissions the Public Service Commission has ever composed. From the national cohesion and equal opportunity point of view, we...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Thank you, Hon. Chairman. There is no Chair on the list we are discussing today. So, I am talking about nominees who have just been named here. We have no Chair here. The ones I am looking at are representatives of this country. As...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I beg to reply. The Committee not only looked at employment on ethnic basis, but it also looked at employment diversity in public institutions and not private because the Constitution is slightly silent on...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) The KRA is the first. I think this Committee raised the first red flag. There were even attempts by bigger authorities to stop the KRA from coming to this Committee. We did it ultimately. We were the first to raise the alarm and it...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Yes. You know the Committee writes to institutions through Parliament. I do not sign the letter when we are writing to the KRA or any other institution. The Clerk of the National Assembly signs the letter. I have already written to the Clerk of...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this very important request for statement. I sympathise with the Executive, and specifically principal secretaries and cabinet secretaries, because they are always in Parliament. They are now being forced to do their work in the...

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) No, I do not want to speak on this Motion, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) Yes, I am, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At least, we should also recognise the fact that some chairpersons are present. 5th November 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 43

Hon. Yusuf Adan (Mandera West, UDM) It is unfortunate, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have evidence of having circulated a communication to all the Committee Members that our important Report would be discussed today. I requested them to be present.
