Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the Committee’s position. I agree that this is a very serious offence and that thieves must be punished. There should be a serious provision for punishing them. I am just from my constituency where many cables have been stolen and my people are...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to thank my sister for bringing this Motion so that we can speak about this subject. Hon. Temporary Speaker, SHA was well-intended to ensure that every Kenyan gets access to good healthcare. However, I agree with my colleagues that there are challenges...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I would like to congratulate Hon. Kawanjiku for bringing this Motion before this House. I want to appreciate the Committee for their good work. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this Motion by Hon. Kawanjiku has brought to the fore some of the rot in...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on its consideration of the Senate Amendments to the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 38 of 2024) . Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Members, this is a very important Motion. I request that you listen because I am sure you will want to contribute to it. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to move the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on its consideration of the Senate...

I stand guided, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Division of Revenue Act, 2024 was assented to by the President after approval by both Houses of Parliament following the recommendation of the...

I was queuing for a different one. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to reply to the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill, (Senate Bill, No.19 of 2024) . At the outset, I want to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Bill. It is a very important Bill that seeks to give additional conditional...

Thank you, Hon Temporary Chairlady. I beg to move that the Committee do report its consideration of the Cotton Industry Development Bill (Senate Bill No.5 of 2023) , and its approval thereof with amendments. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Thank you, Hon. Members. (Question proposed) (Question put...

THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting the First Schedule and replacing therefor, with the following New Schedule- FIRST SCHEDULE FY 2023/24 FY 2024/25 SN COUNTY Total Conditional Additional Allocations County Aggregation and Industrial Parks Programme Community Health Promoters (CHPs) Project Total Conditional Additional Allocations Column A Column B Column...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, if you look at the First Schedule, there is an indication in the figures given for the amounts that each county is going to benefit. To inform the Member, Busia County is getting Ksh105 million. Previously, it had received Ksh62.5 million. Percentage of completion… (Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Concerning whether that money has been provided for, I can assure the Member that a total of Ksh1.9 billion was allocated in the First Supplementary Budget. The allocation includes Ksh105 million for each county. There is also a concern among members about the oversight of...

Thank you. What is being deleted in the Second Schedule is the original allocation that had been proposed to go to the counties that were to benefit from the earlier allocations before the variations. It is so that we can adopt the amended figures in the new Schedule. Thank you....

Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Dawood to second.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. From the onset, I would also like to join my colleagues in congratulating the two ladies. They were not nominated because Ms Beatrice comes from Turkana County or Dr Dorcas comes from Luo Nyanza. But they were nominated because of their competence which...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to second the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, 2024. I will be very brief. I want to make it very simple. We suffered a shortfall in the projected revenue, which was occasioned by the failure to enact the Finance Bill, 2024. As a...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support the amendment, especially the new addition that relates to Article 27 (8) of the Constitution. It states that not more than two-thirds of either elective or appointive positions should be from the same gender. That is a good addition. Therefore, I support it. However, I...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the amendment because the previous one was a bit shallow. For example, paragraph (a) had only limited the regulation and promotion to growing and spinning. But the new amendment brings on board value addition and marketers and so, it is broader and encompasses...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I thank the Committee for this amendment. These amendments are bringing clarity on how to support farmers and the formation of co-operatives. Above all, it brings about specificity to the intent. The previous one was too wordy. They have summarised things and are now very...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. We need certainty and uniformity in the process of licensing. If we allow too many bodies and give them powers to offer this service, it is going to cause a lot of problems. I support the amendments by the Committee. (Question, that the words to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I oppose this amendment. First of all, it is ambiguous. It just recommends imposition of a levy. What will the imposed levy be for? If we want to impose it on imports, we have to be specific and say that it will be imposed on...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Cotton Industry Development Bill, (Senate Bill No.5 of 2023) from Clause 3 to Clause 48, and its approval thereof with amendments and seek leave to sit again.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I request Hon. Mutuse to second the Motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the Whole House.

Thank you, Hon. Chair. I stand to second the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. From the onset… Which Chair are you addressing? Pardon me, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important Bill as it details how money has been allocated and how it is going to be spent. It guarantees the continuous...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I second, allow me just to say two things. First, I want to thank these Hon. Members. Let Kenyans know that today we have come to the end of the Finance Bill. It has been buried. Second, I want to reassure the sugarcane farmers...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to second the Motion on the Supplementary Budget Estimates. At the outset, I rise to second. Indeed, we are in unprecedented times.
