On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Yes.

Hon. Speaker, what I have is for Hon. Gitari again on promotions.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a response to request for Statement by Hon. Joseph Gitari on the promotion of curriculum support officers in the country. In 1963, the Government established the Teachers Advisory Centers (TACs) with the mandate to provide in-service courses to among others offer aid in developing...

Hon. Speaker, I will not answer those questions now. I will take the questions to the Committee, and then we will seek further clarifications.

Hon. Speaker, this is, indeed, a very serious issue. I just wanted to note that the support given to women Members of Parliament for advocacy against gender-based violence is not sufficient. Furthermore, it is only given to women Members of Parliament and county Women Representatives. In counties and constituencies where...

Thank you, Hon. Sabina. I appreciate you bringing forth this Motion. There is need to increase the quality of care and services as proposed in the Motion. I want to touch on two areas. The issue is not about infrastructure because most public institutions already have it. One, what we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. Before I speak on the Bill, I need to remind Members on how we should welcome guests to this House. When you say let us welcome them in our normal way and then you do not hear any sound, it could mean...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome all of you, all the schools present in this August House today, to observe the proceedings of the National Assembly. I want to inform you that at one time we were all seated where you are seated now. Probably,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have just mentioned that we need a room where my caregiver can bring the child, and I can take a break to breastfeed. In this case, you are in the middle of your contribution and the child… I would have breastfed before walking into the Chamber.

Yes. If it is an emergency, I can walk out of the Chamber to breastfeed. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also wish to extend my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. I wish a quick recovery to all those who were injured, including our police officers, who put their lives on the line to protect Kenyans and their property. What happened yesterday...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Supplementary budgets are very important because they allow the Government to respond to emerging circumstances and address urgent needs affecting the people of Kenya. However, are we in order as a House to depart from procedure and tradition where representatives of the people at the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Report, but I wish to make some observations. As a House and as a country, we can certainly do better than this. We are witnessing an excessive number of supplementary budgets. Supplementary budgets should only be used for essential...

Chair, could the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy explain why there is a reduction of Ksh520 million from Project 1152109701 for rural electrification schemes? We know very well that there is a need for more rural electrification because many...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I see a reduction of Ksh600, 000,000 from the National Social Safety Net. We should get a clarification and the reasons why. For more than three years, the elderly have not been registered. There is a good number of people who have achieved the age...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, even if the county women representatives are not here, we are representing them. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : It is all agreed. The allocation for affirmative action .… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : That part is already spent. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we showed...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I join my colleagues in demanding that we increase the budget for IPOA. There is an increasing number of cases that are affecting police officers. It is not only murder, like the disgusting one where someone was killed in the police station, but many others,...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also commend the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a good job. In particular, I appreciate the amount of fairness and the manner in which they have tried to address the issue of equity in the distribution of resources. When I look at the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. The importance of agricultural extension officers cannot be over-emphasised. This Bill is very timely. It is coming at a time when farmers in this country are operating in an environment devoid of the basic knowledge, training...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The truth is that every constituency has a pocket of marginalised or hardship area. What plans does the Ministry have to review all these areas across the country and identify hardship areas? In some areas in Teso South when we have a sick person, we make...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also rise to support the withdrawal of this Bill by Hon. Bonny Khalwale. The bodaboda sector is very important and contributes enormously to the economy. They are many, and must be recognised and supported. When this Bill was introduced...
