Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank the Members who have contributed towards this. As you have put it, we support revenue sharing. However, in this proposed Bill from the Senate, Petroleum Act, 2019 has a formula on how revenue is shared; Energy Act also has a formula on how...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I agree with Hon. Caroli. I am not a lawyer but I am a Member of Parliament, and I understand a little bit of law. If he was here earlier enough, I said that we sought the indulgence of the Speaker this lacuna. The Speaker needs to...

Nakushukuru sana, Hon. Temporary nitakachofanya katika miaka mitano nitakayokuwa hapa kwa sababu yule atakayekuja baada yangu ataubeba mzigo huu.Tunaomba Wizara ya Fedha na Kamati ya Bajeti kuweka mikakati ya kupunguza madeni.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill, (Senate Bill No.6 of 2022) , be now read a Second Time. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to start by advising the House that this is a Private Member’s Bill from the Senate, that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my sentiments on this very important amendment which has been brought by our brother, Mejjadonk. Much as we talk about the retirement age of 60 years, it is also important for us to be cognizant that the Public...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. It is unfortunate the Member of Parliament for Yata is not around. When he started speaking, he said that the President's Speech was long, boring and that some of the Members were sleeping. From his contribution, I think...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report by the Committee on Regional Integration. It is worth noting that the House Business Committee (HBC) should, at times, prioritise some of these critical reports that have far-reaching timelines. We have reports which were signed in June last year....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Petition. I chair the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining. This has become an issue. Most of the time, we depend on experts from outside the country to give us critical information. Hon. Pukose will agree with me that we...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Wachira Karani to second the motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that National Construction Authority (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.59 of 2022) , be now read a Third Time. I also request Hon. Wachira Karani to second.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As much as the petitioners have a right to come and petition Parliament which is a constitutional right, it is also important for us to remember the founding fathers of this nation. The people who passed this law in the 1960s had a purpose. It...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Hon. Gikaria, what is out of order? Go ahead. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This was my amendment, but I am told it has to be moved by the Chair of the Committee, who is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I rise to support the Chairperson’s amendment. There is confusion regarding what is in the Bill and the explanation by the Chairperson that he is removing the headquarters from Nairobi. That is not the case. I support his amendment that branches can be determined by...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to support Hon. (Dr) Pukose, but at the same time, agree with Hon. T.J. Kajwang’. The IEBC Act says that the Chairperson must be an advocate of the high court. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Gikaria, are you supporting the Chairperson? You...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Just to get your guidance for purposes of procedure and moving fast, what Hon. Kaluma was asking is for the Chairman to move a further amendment as the Chairman, if he agrees. If that happens, then it would be faster instead of asking Hon. Kaluma...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I stand to support the amendment by Hon. Chairman. This issue came up today in the morning when we were looking at a Bill. The President appoints chairpersons. That should not change in this Bill only. I totally agree with the Chairperson, Dr Pukose, on this. We...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Gikaria what is out of order? David Gikaria (Nakuru Town East, UDA) : Hon. Temporary Chairlady, you have guided us very well, and we appreciate. At one point, Hon. TJ Kajwang’ said that the...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to indulge your decision. Yes, we have a response, but it is not satisfactory. We met as a Committee and discussed the given response. If you look at the summary of the response vis-à-vis the annexures given, we do not think the response...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2023 that has been brought by the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. Hon. Temporary Speaker, sometimes, it is very difficult for us to contribute after seasoned lawyers like you because of all the facts...
