Julius Lekakeny Sunkuli

Hon Temporary Speaker, the issues Hon. Oundo has raised are very weighty. (The Temporary Speaker consulted with the Clerk-at-the-Table) Sorry, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am waiting for your attention. The matter is weighty and I am sure you would like to rule on it. However, I have another point of...

The Temporary Speaker has made a decision with respect to the Departmental Committee to which Hon. (Dr) Oundo belongs. If you clearly heard from Hon. Marianne, the original meeting that was supposed to be held… Hon. Sunkuli, you are seeking a review of a decision that has already been made...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to acknowledge the guidance that you gave about reservations. It is internationally recognised that sections with reservations will not have force of law. Since reservations can also be rejected by the other party, I hope that those who will renegotiate insist that our reservations...

Hon. Speaker, I would like to join my colleague, the Member for Luanda, who requested the Statement, and say that this Statement needs to be redone. This is because the Statement simply says that you should not compare KQ with Qatar Airways and others because they are government-funded. The last...

It is not a point of order. I want to joy ride on that request for a statement. You may proceed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, coming from an area more or less like the one for Hon. Lesuuda, I just wish that when the response to the request for the statement...

No. She will do it, but I will also contribute. Pardon? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : No problem. Proceed. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I understand the comments or sentiments of the Whip of the Minority Party. However, the rationale is that one has to go through the same...

Maybe I can take the comments if I am still on the Floor then I can continue. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Okay.

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I am actually grateful because we all suffer this problem. Childlessness is not one person's thing. However, I want to inform the Hon. Member, she is a lawyer like me, that, fortunately, the law protects me. The law says that all children received in a marriage are...

Sorry, I have a point of order to put the record straight about this issue of having children that are not yours during the marriage. They are not there by faith, but by law, because there is a presumption of law. I want to correct that. The law says that...

Hon. Speaker, while I appreciate the request for a statement by our Hon. friend, I ask that when the statement is read, let it not be limited to Runyenjes only. This is becoming a serious problem that calls upon the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the New Kenya Co-operative Creameries...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, in support of this Motion, I urge the House to nullify these regulations. When they were presented before our Committee, two problems arose. First, they were already dead on arrival because they were not presented within the time required under the Statutory Instruments Act. We did not...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, today we are paying tribute to a compatriot, a fellow citizen of this country who has lived indeed and served on many fronts. He was a political figure with many abilities. He had abilities to fight and make peace. I was elected in 1992 to the first...

While I agree that M/S Nyoro Construction Limited contractors have a very bad name, I rise because the Chairperson, Hon. Didmus, said that this weekend, he would be going to Maasai Mara. I request that while he is there, he should also checks on the road from Kilgoris to Esoit,...

Hon. Speaker, I wish to join that Statement to request for further clarification because Kilgoris New KCC cooling plant takes its milk to Sotik. For three months now, actually since July, farmers have not been paid for their milk. We have been faithfully supplying milk to New KCC, but there...

On a point of Order.

The Member is saying that the Arts Degrees that made us who we are, the thinking subjects, are not practical subjects. We all support science, but we do not want people to stop thinking just because we want technocrats. We are here because we studied History, CRE, and other Arts...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Yes, Hon. Ole Sunkuli. I am of the opinion that if you really do not want those two conditions, then just drop that particular amendment. If informed consent is essential for all these things,...

If they are married then why do we have to legislate? Why do we not just leave it? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : It is very sensitive. I would like to hear the final word from the Chairman.

But he is very close to his officers. (Laughter) The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai): Okay.

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, in that case, if we want those two conditions to exist, then why not delete the word “and” and replace it with “or”? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Let us hear Hon. Ole Sunkuli. I am just saying that we delete the word “and”...

If you look, for instance, at Clause 14, it says that a person qualifies to undertake assisted reproductive technology where it is certified by a medical doctor that the person requires assisted reproductive technology on medical or health grounds. That is why there is opposition to Clause 22, which is...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the problem that is being raised by our Hon. colleague from Bahati is a huge moral and ethical issue that cannot be finalised in this Committee of the whole House. This is one of the biggest problems some of us have. If you have to choose the...

Not only that, but also when it comes to precedence, because the Whip of the Majority/Minority Party takes precedence. I also take precedence over her. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, you are the overall boss. Having come from the Committee, we could retain this as it is. First, it is a human...

How about this one? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : It is working. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, there are two points. First of all, I totally agree that if we allow someone to go on a random production of children, we will end up reproducing bad genetics because incest...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to second.

I support this Petition to a great extent because of the spirit behind it. Members of Parliament should not run away from this responsibility. The Christian religion is based on a book called the Holy Bible. It has been developed for over 2,000 years. We cannot leave this book to...

I also wish to join Hon. Sitienei of Turbo in welcoming the students. I attended Cardinal Otunga High School, and I am quite excited to see that they still wear the same uniform. This was a very good school during our time. I believe that it has lived through history,...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am glad to second the Motion by our friend Hon. Tim Wanyonyi. The purpose of this Motion is to urge the Government to put in place regulations, guidelines and strategies to ensure sustainable use of fertile land, especially for farming. In this country, there is no...
