Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock on its inquiry into the pricing of tea in Kenya, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 4th December 2025. Thank you, Hon....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Report on the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy. This Strategy is necessary because it guides the public on borrowing and debt management. It will also help us to manage liabilities, costs and risks, so that we do...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the adoption of this Report and the implementation of its recommendations. Whatever is contained in this Report has not been done by just anyone. It has been done by individuals placed in positions of authority. These are leaders entrusted with the...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Sugar matters are currently a burning issue, and there are many concerns surrounding payments. In two weeks, we will provide the Statement. We have been engaging with the State Department, and about a third of the time has been spent discussing sugar issues. I am...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to comment on this Report. I rise to support the adoption of the Report by the Public Petitions Committee. Pollution is a serious problem in this country. Cleaning the Nairobi River is important, not just for downstream water use, but...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand not as a Member of Parliament from that region, but to inform and remind Hon. Wanjala that, at the moment, people from Budalangi are travelling to KNH in Nairobi to seek treatment. When the MRTH is ready, the Budalangi people will have to...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to join other Members in thanking our President for being very clear in his speech. If I were to be asked to rate his speech, I would say that the President was finely balanced in what he said. I wish...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to inform Hon. Manduku what happened yesterday. I made a statement to the House on the inquiry we have started into the pricing of tea. We are trying to find out why tea is better paid for in the East of the Rift Valley...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We cannot do it on Tuesday. We will be able to respond after two weeks.

The next Order.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Tea (Amendment) Bill. We have undergone a lengthy process of developing legislation that serves the tea sector. We have completely sorted out the sugar sector. Kenya will be self-sufficient in terms of sugar in...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for that very thoughtful question. The reason we requested an inquiry as a Committee is that this issue has been misused. It is emotive to the extent that some farmers are uprooting their plantations, while others have stopped producing tea. They have left...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Agricultural Professionals Registration and Licensing Bill (National Assembly Bill No.19 of 2024) be now read a Second Time. The principle objective of this Bill is to provide a legal framework for the registration, licensing and establishment of the Agricultural Professionals and...

KESAP and the Animal Production Society of Kenya (APSK) are registered outside this Act as a membership body of professionals. They do not have a regulatory role or a function that ensures accountability to anyone. They do not do anything for the sector. They are just an association of like-minded...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am very grateful because the Hon. Members who have spoken to this Bill support it 100 per cent. For our agriculture to grow faster and better, we need professionals to man the agricultural sector. For us to take care of food insecurity that we...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to eulogise with the family, friends, relatives, ODM fraternity and the entire country. (Several Hon. Members walked out of the Chamber)

I am on the Floor.

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. To my very respected friend, Hon. Kaluma, it is important for you to know that the centre of Kenya is Isiolo which is next to Meru. That is if you look at Kenya from all corners. Hon. Donya asked a question and it...
