Hon. Deputy Speaker, they take our carbon credits and throw them at the cost of nothing with foreign consultants and say: "You must allow us to do that. We are bringing benefits to Kenya." I have not seen any benefits in Kenya. I do not even know the level of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I strongly support the Motion by my brother, Hon. Brighton Yegon. The childcare programme proposed, especially after the fourth year, is one that has been recommended and looked at everywhere in the world. As Kenyans, we are always the first to go and sign the...

This is very important, Hon. Speaker. I beg your indulgence. On the issue of the information that has already been mined, I ask the Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communications, and the Digital Economy and the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration to make applications to wherever that information has...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the Motion under Order 8 that this House notes the Report of the Kenya Delegation to the Parliamentary Dialogue on United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and Global Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC) Annual General Meeting, held in Doha, Qatar from 8th to 9th March...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I reply, may I kindly donate two minutes to Hon. Wanjala and two minutes to Hon. Saney, with your approval? Mover, put the names in order. You have donated two minutes to Hon. Wanjala. Who is the other Member? Hon. Saney of...

Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am very happy to hear the support by the Members of Parliament. I am really proud of you all. The fight against corruption is sometimes a lonely battle and not very helpful. It is a great encouragement when I have moral support of the...

Hon. Speaker, I thank my dear friend and colleague, Hon. Rahim, for bringing this Amendment Bill to highlight and fill the gap that might be there. I have been on the Constitution Review Committee since 1999. Where we sat, we were tear-gassed and did many things together. We came up...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This amendment is trying to make some difference in a very bad situation. We are already at 61.7 per cent of our GDP. We are putting a debt anchor at 55 per cent but we are at (Loud consultations) 27th June 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. This is an obligation that we have to share with our international partners. It is good that we adopt the ratification of the Amended Nairobi Convention and the Protocol for the Protection of Marine and Coastal Environment of the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the ratification of the Kigali Amendments on the Montreal Protocol on the Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. We are very fast in rectifying, amending and asking for ratification of treaties and protocols from Parliament. The question really is: What are we going...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am very concerned. The main objective of this Bill was to introduce a section for the development of policy guidelines… Hon. Shakeel you only have two minutes. The objective of this Bill was to introduce a section for the development of policy guidelines to...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Our education system is the bedrock of our future. For the 15 years I have 3rd May 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 33 been in Parliament, and even when I was a mayor, I have been shocked and I am still shocked. When I...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I acknowledge and note the Report on PAP. It raises a lot of concerns and good points. I am not a black African. I am a brown African, as my friend says. Since the early 20th Century, African countries have had the vision to become...

Okay. I withdraw and apologise. However, we had somebody who definitely was not an African chief. The point that I am making is that we must not trivialise the fact that Africans want to get together. We must not trivialise the fact that common African unity is going to be...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Kenyan Delegation to the 2023 Parliamentary Dialogue on United

Hon.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support… Hon. Shabbir, what time are you worried about? I was calculating if they need 30 minutes for the Mover to reply since I might be running short of time, but you have assured me that, that is not the case. Hon...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this consideration of Session Paper No. 1 of 2022. There was a Session Paper No.9 in 1965 but we never did anything. It was a beautiful Session Paper that was borrowed and used by Singapore, Malaysia and others. We did the...
