Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Report of the Committee on Appointments. Firstly, I want these particular nominees to know that some of them have been given a second chance against the wish of the public. Therefore, we want them to...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I stand here to support the Supplementary Appropriation (No.2) Bill of 2024 because of the austerity measures that are being put in place.

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What I know is that the Hon. Member does not use sanitary pads. I am the one who uses them. I know the feeling and most Kenyans who use pads know the feeling. So, unless he uses pads, he should not...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : What is out of order, Hon. Mayaka? Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I am quite concerned because I am wondering why the e-mail from Hon. Millie to...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Yes. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Is it the same thing you have, Hon. Chairman?

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) In addition to what the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health has said, we seek your guidance on which amendment will come before the other. This is because the two are different from each other, but both are very important. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon....

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) That is also what I have moved on behalf of Hon. Millie. That is part (a) and then (b) , on renumbering. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Yes, Hon. Chairman. 4th June 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 35

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM)

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The justification is that when you put technology in place, it should operate indefinitely. It should not be capped at five years unless you want to constantly change the warranty that has been provided. I do not see the need...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I want to try to convince the Chair on this particular issue. When it comes to technology, you cannot peg a specific timeline on it unless the manufacturer and the people who have come up with that particular product have indicated that...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon.Temporary Chairlady, I advise that instead of seven, we do 10. The reason for that is because even if you put it at seven before you bring in another technological improvement to it, you still have a “grandfathering” period for the technology that you have...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I am fully guided by that. I agree with the Chairman that we should push for further amendments on that. So, I drop this amendment. (Proposed amendment by Hon. Anthony Oluoch to clause 29(9) withdrawn) The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Deputy Chairlady, the amendment by Hon. Millie under sub clause (3) is similar to what the Chairperson has already prosecuted. So, I support. The Deputy Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) Do you drop this amendment? Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Yes.

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 33 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new subclause immediately after subclause (2) — (2A) in the case of cancellation of registration of a herbal medicine, the Registrar shall in such...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) : We are not dealing with herbal medicine. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) Hon. Mayaka, we had earlier said what you withdraw under sub-clause (2) . Is that so? 4th June 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 55 Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Yes. The Temporary...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 35 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by inserting the word “registered” immediately after the words “may prohibit a”. However, having listened to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health on...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) I am proposing to amend sub-clause 2 by inserting the word “registered” immediately after the words “may prohibit a”. The amendment seeks to harmonise the Bill in sub-clause (2) where it defines the term, “registered pharmacist.” So, this is just to make it harmonious. (Hon....

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) No. I am trying to seek the indulgence of Hon. Chairman to look back at sub-clause (2) . Unless you changed it from “registered pharmacist” while I was not here…. The amendment seeks to harmonise and ensure that we are also still talking about registered...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Yes.

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Okay. (Question, that the word to be inserted be inserted, put and agreed to) Clause 35 (3) The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Chairperson.

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM)

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) I seek the Chair’s further indulgence on this. I support what Hon. Nyikal has said. I am looking at a situation where one is prescribing alternative medication for a patient and they would need to consult with the doctor who gave that prescription. Would it...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM)

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I would wish for us to go on record because Hon. Millie also had an amendment on the same Clause. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Which Clause? Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Clause 36. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari)...

Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM)THAT, Clause 41 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “enrolled pharmaceutical technologist and registered pharmacist” immediately after the word...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) I need further clarification from the Hon. Chairperson. This particular Act is speaking to wholesale dealers. Since this case is specific to wholesale dealers, are we alienating the retail pharmacists? When you exclude pharmacists, you are saying that retail pharmacists will not have access to...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. Given the explanation by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health, I wish to drop the amendment. (Proposed amendment to Clause 41 by Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona dropped) The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Thank you. (Proposed amendments to Clause...

I beg to move: THAT, Clause 43 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by deleting the words “one hundred thousand” and substituting therefore the words “one million”. (Question of the amendment proposed) The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari)...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM)

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I have been requested to explain the amendment. We seek to delete the word “two hundred’ and substitute it 4th June 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 71 Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM)with ‘one million’. The reasoning behind this amendment is to make the...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Mayaka, what is out of order? Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, before you suggest that the amendment falls, I would like to bring to your attention...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Yes, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. (Clause 45 as amended agreed to) Clause 46 The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Chairperson.

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM)

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, before I decide on whether or not to withdraw this amendment, I would really like to hear the justification the Chairman has on this so that it makes sense to me. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Chairman.

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, yes. I would like to state that the Chairman has now done subsequent amendments that define that. My worry was that we cannot have a gazette notice being done without laid down procedure. Because the subsequent clauses explain this, then I am...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to express my complete disappointment that seven Hon. Members averted the will of very many Members of this House. I am disappointed on behalf of farmers, not only in Nyamira but also in Kenya. Article 153 of the Constitution...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg the indulgence of the Chairman on this particular matter. If there are any persons that are affected by droughts, it is women and children. In most circumstances, they do not have rescue centres where they can go to. We saw...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I just want to commend the Chairperson of the Committee for this amendment. This is very progressive.

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I just want to support this particular amendment. I support it because the practice that we even have in most companies and organisations is that in instances of emergency, they have designated places where people are asked to assemble. It...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Hon. Mayaka, what is out of order? Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Hon.
