WANGWE, EMMANUEL

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I must appreciate the Leader of the Majority Party for considering Standing Order 141 on the extension of the Bills. My concern is that Standing Order 141 is silent on the reports. As the Chairperson of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services Administration and Agriculture,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me also to join my colleagues in noting the Speech of His Excellency the President. First and foremost, I thank Kenyans for passing the 2010 Constitution and giving us Article 132 (1) (c) , which particularly empowers Members of Parliament to witness and also...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a House of Records. When a Cabinet Secretary responds in the affirmative, it means the situation is wanting. The Cabinet Secretary has just confirmed that 23 of our universities are insolvent. What does that mean? It means the universities are unable to pay or...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to seek your guidance on whether this House will be required to undertake the vetting and approval process as required by the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act.

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Wangwe, what is your point of order? Just hold on, Hon. Ikiara. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a House of Records. I am proud of the Member, but it is unfortunate that she refers to Hon. Oluoch as the...

On a point of order.

It is not a point of order, but it is just to inform my very good friend. We have walked the journey together, and I would like to inform him. Do you want to be informed? You are being over-informed. (Hon. James K’oyoo nodded) Thank you. I think it is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I even reply, although the Standing Orders do not allow me to donate, allow me to thank the Hon. (Dr) Nyikal. As a Member of this House, we began the journey together on the Sugar Bill in the last Parliament and in many of...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion by the Majority Whip on alteration of the Calendar. I want to cite the mediated version of the Sugar Bill. I am the Co-Chairperson of the Mediation Committee and I wish to lay a Paper this afternoon. Now, that...

On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Whereas my good friend and neighbour here is discussing the issue of cohesion, what he should also be emphasising on, is that the Chair of National Cohesion and Integration Commission and the CEO of the same Commission, also appear to have a problem with the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to appreciate my colleagues for boldly supporting the Second Report of the Committee. I wish to take into account what they have observed. I want to particularly echo the sentiments of Dr. Oundo, who commented that we should highlight and even name the...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, the Senate amendments to the Sugar Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 34 of 2022) , be now considered. This Bill came to this House way back in the last Parliament. It was considered. When Parliament adjourned sine die, we...

Thank you, Temporary Chairlady. I support the Committee. We all agree that grammar is not our mother tongue, and any improvement to it by the Senate is welcome. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Hon. Justice Kemei, Member for Sigowet/Soin. Hon. Justice Kemei (Sigowet/Soin, UDA) : Madam Chair,...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I would wish to bring the Hon. Member of Kimilili alive to 19 (a) . Whereas what he has said is the actual operations of a miller and a grower, we have given the exemption authority to the Board to make variation to a decision of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also join the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock to support the amendment. What the Senate has done is to help us clean up what was omitted. When you look at the issues to do with cane production, the sweetest part is in production,...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, whereas this matter is straightforward, it is important to be on the Hansard. The cancer in the sugar industry is the use of the word “zoning”. The moment you mention the word “zone”, it behaves more or less like the cancer in a human being. Therefore, I...

Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Senate Amendments to the Sugar Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.54 of 2022) , and its approval thereof with amendments.
