Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I also pass my appreciation to the Committee on Delegated Legislation for the work they have done. While I agree with the Committee that we should annul these regulations in their entirety, certain questions beg some answers. Yes, Parliament has...

Let me complete my contribution. We need to find a solution for universities. There is a problem in universities. Many of our children are not joining universities today because of the issues these regulations were trying to address. One of our roles as Members of Parliament is that of legislation....

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would not like to be informed. (Laughter)

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. (Hon. TJ Kajwang’ spoke off the record) Hon. TJ Kajwang’, that is for me to decide. It is not your place to do so. I will give you exactly one minute to contribute, and then we can move on to Hon. Antony...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Just for neatness, I hope that the information Hon. Otiende Amollo has given you enriches your debate. What is out of order, Hon. Baya? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Now that Hon. Otiende Amollo has mentioned me, I would like to agree...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank the Committee for doing a great job and the Kenya Kwanza Government for implementing its Manifesto under the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) . Healthcare is one of the greatest headaches in this country. Families become bankrupt because they are...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, what is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Wandayi was doing very well. He was saying what Kenyans want to hear. However, when he said that the people who killed the sugar industry...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation for the work they are doing. I requested the Statement on the premise that the Luigi-Broglio Space Centre has been there for many years but has not benefited the people of Malindi, specifically the...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This being a Procedural Motion and a Wednesday morning, I second the Motion and ask that Members support it so that we transact the Business ahead of us. I thank you. (Question proposed)

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I suggest that as we begin this debate, we reduce the time for each Member to three or five minutes so that we can give chance to as many Members as possible to contribute to this debate. I beg to request.

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Deputy Leader of the Majority Party? Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to inform the Member that there are many players, including the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) , the National Treasury, the Ministry of Trade, Investment...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is not fair for the Member to speak from both sides of his mouth. He said clearly that he has consulted in Malawi in carbon credit business, and that he has a business in carbon credit that earns him money. When he was challenged to declare...

When did you become Baya? He stole my name. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to contribute to this Bill. Kenya is noted as eighth in the world in terms of carbon trade. This Bill is about adaptation, afforestation, reforestation and landscaping. Our forest cover has been degraded. We need...

On a point of order. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : What is out of order, Hon. Owen Baya, as Hon. Haika prepares? Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) : Hon. Temporary Speaker, reading the mood of the House under Standing Order 95, we kindly request the Mover to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I congratulate my brother, Hon. Phelix Odiwuor, alias Papa Jalas for bringing this Motion. The people of Nairobi have suffered for a long time. The people of Langata bear the burden of the whole City because everything is taken there. It takes a great leader...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am also encouraging domestic tourism for the good of the people of Kilifi. Many people will be coming to Kilifi County to bury their dead. This is a serious national issue. Previous governments did it dishonestly, and we lost money when people tried to buy land...

Hon. Speaker, we have two Members of Parliament Hon. Pareiyo and Hon. Tonkei who are dressed in a manner suggesting that they are not in Parliament. I think there is a dress code in Parliament. I do not think this House has allowed that kind of dressing. You need to...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill, which has come at the right time. What we consume in this country and what animals consume as feeds, which later translate to human food, is questionable. The food and feed field is...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am on a point of order. Okay. Hon. Deputy Speaker, while I do not want to get involved in the discussion about the KYPA, the Leader of the Minority Party should have taken exception to the behaviour displayed in the House. This is an honourable House....

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Majority side and Members of this House, I sincerely thank the Cabinet Secretary for a wonderful job well done. You have given us the marking scheme of how a Cabinet Secretary should answer Questions in the House. As you...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill that has been tabled by our good friend, Hon. Didmus Barasa, is timely. When you do not give pensioners their money, you shorten their lives. At times like this when the economy situation is hard and money is scarce, and we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg your indulgence. Now that the Member is not here, I request that we step down this Bill to the next available time. 9th August 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 54

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg your indulgence again so that we step down this Bill to the next available time so that the Bill is not lost. We can discuss it when the Mover is available.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, indulge me again. Order, Hon. Owen Baya. I think this matter appeared in the Order Paper yesterday but it was stepped down to today. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg your indulgence that we allow this Motion to be in the Order Paper in the next available time....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg your indulgence that we step it down to the next available time, so that the matter is dispensed with then. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

We do not have them, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Therefore, we will step them down. However, I think it is procedural that we deal with them one after the other until we are done with all of them. I just wish we could consider them in a guillotine way but I...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg your indulgence that we move this Order to the next available time, noting that the Mover is not present.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, on behalf of the Mover of the Motion, I request that we step this Order down to the next available time. However, the matter is not lost. It will be rescheduled for discussion in the next available time.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I seek your indulgence again that you allow this matter to appear again in the Order Paper in the next available time, so that it is not lost. Thank you.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this being a Bill of the Leader of Majority Party, he is supposed to move it. Now that we are not adequately prepared for it, I would like us to reschedule it to the next available time.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I request that we reschedule this Bill to the next available time. We may not have the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party to move it. We are not adequately prepared.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am sorry for the many requests that I have made. On behalf of Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe, who is the Mover of the Bill for Second Reading, I request that you indulge us to have it moved the next available time.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House:

Hon. Speaker, the Hon. Lady known as "full network," or Hon. Mohammed Fatuma Zainab, is much more aligned with Hon. Robert Mbuis's area of jurisdiction. We should agree to step down the Motion for now and try to find out whether she can make a presentation after the next Motion.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. First, I congratulate the Committee and its Chairperson for ensuring that we have the First Report of this Committee on time. I thank the Committee for a good job. It is also very important that oversight committees, especially those that deal with reports of...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is not in order Hon. Owen Baya? It is not in my place to stop my counterpart on the Minority side but when he makes statements that are a figment of his imagination and not factual, we need to stop him...

On a point of order. What is out of order, Hon. Owen Baya? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to assure Hon. Atandi that the President is keen to revive all projects. Hon. Atandi will be here to ensure that all the projects that are given resources are started...

On a point of order. Hon. Owen, what is out of order? I have a lot of respect for Hon. Millie Odhiambo. She is senior legally, and also in Parliament. She is also senior in many other things but I want to inform her that as a legal mind, when...

The servers that only Hon. Millie Odhiambo knows.

On a point of order. Hon. Owen Baya, what is out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know it is very unfortunate to think a person is from a certain community just because that person bears a name that resembles another person’s. How do you know that person is from...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Baya? The Member is on fire and we need to cool her down. She is saying that the former Prime Minister practised nepotism or tribalism by hiring all the people she has mentioned, from the same...
