Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) As much as that is the case, I foresee a few challenges which I believe we ought to point out in good time to avoid running into headwinds. What we are establishing here is a non-contributory social protection programme. That means the cost shall...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I just want to make a small suggestion. I did not know the late, Hon. Koech. However, we should have a tradition in this House that when we want to honour a Member who has passed away, we...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Speaker, therefore, the categorisation under Section 28 may not be accurate. Somebody could be an orphan, but he is not below the poverty line. You could be an old person, but you are not below the poverty line. You could be a person...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to draw the attention of the House to Article 210 of the Constitution of Kenya. For the ease of Members, it says:

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Motion. What we are discussing is an element of what is called the ‘gig economy,’ where individuals on a freelance basis or side hustle engage in certain activities....
