Ahmed Shakeel Ahmed Shabbir

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I thank Hon. Captain Ruweida for giving me one minute. I want to give my condolences to the Army on the loss of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) staff. I support the proposal, but it only talks about the boarding protocol. I often see...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am actually beaten. I was just trying to log in. Let me be excused, please. I do not have something to contribute at this moment.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you very much. I support the Report in the way the Committee has presented it. However, I have some concerns on the language used in the recommendations. The Constitution is very clear. It says 5 per cent of all employment in all public institutions must be...

Thank you for indulging me. As you have said, some of these cards are not working. We sit here hoping they are recording, but they are not. I hope the Serjeant-at-Arms and those in charge of this august House will have these machines serviced. I am contributing from a position...

I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new definition in proper alphabetical sequence ― “Whistleblower” means any person who has personal knowledge of or access to any data, information, fact or event constituting improper conduct and who makes a disclosure of...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. What is it, Member for Kisumu East? Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The African Parliamentarian’s Network Against Corruption (APNAC) is very interested and involved in conflict of interest. We have been following up with the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this, Bill. To bring sea fish species like the shark, stonefish, whale and stingray into the list of wildlife where compensation may be paid is a good thing. I support it wholeheartedly. On a light note, one of the dangerous species...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to comment on the speech of His Excellency the President. The President has recognised and based himself on the three pillars of Kenya Vision 2030, namely, economic, social and political pillars. In the speech, he recognised the fact that the country is faced...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. For a long time, there have been no regulations yet assisted reproductive technology is all over the world. It helps couples who cannot get children and want to have them. Previously, many people were taken advantage of and there...

On a point of order. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : What is your point of order, Hon. Shakeel? Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am the Chairman of the African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption (APNAC) . My point of order is that this flies totally in the face of Chapter...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I wish to lodge a complaint. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : I will allow the Member to speak. What is your complaint? Hon. Temporary Chairman, I represent the anti-corruption lobby in this House. I have been sitting here waiting to speak. Why does the Temporary...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I have been rather disappointed with earlier amendments. I cannot say the same about this. This one we support because this is in line with the desire of this country to put a stop on this type of activity which is also another part of...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is just to confirm that it is a maximum of three months. That is what it originally says so that it is in line with the performance requirements. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : There is more interest on this amendment. Yes, Hon. Oundo; one...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Let me get that point of order, because participation is very important. Hon. Chairman, as much as we are trying to follow, there is a kamukunji going on there, and they are very loud. Could...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I am concerned about these mischievous miscellaneous amendments. Being a Member of the African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption (APNAC) , Hon. Kaluma also had some mischievous amendments which went through. I accept and agree that this amendment should not come through the omnibus Bill. However,...

Firstly, I laud the Committee for proposing that the issue be dealt with substantially. It must be dealt with in the decorum and manner that is required of this position.

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am not a lawyer. Ignorance of the law is no excuse whatsoever. So, whether he knows or does not know, if it is against the law, he should be charged. So, I am surprised that I hear this from a seasoned lawyer. We may need to...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, as much as I appreciate the attempt to try and reduce the burden of non-compliance, I think the reason Ksh20 million was put there was to be a warning sort of action. It was put there as a warning. People are likely to take Ksh20 million more...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The amendment is more or less similar to mine, but I would like the regulations to be set rather than asking for them to be set, as and when the National Police Service (NPS) feels they should. I feel that the regulations must be set...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended-

Hon. Temporary Chairman, thank you for allowing me to speak. This particular issue of confidentiality caused a big problem in the last parliament, especially towards December. When we went to the Conference of the State Parties to the United Nations, a particular proposal had been put. Kenya was one of...
