Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill addresses three key issues, that is, the retirement age, acting positions and contracts. I agree with all the Members, and specifically the Mover, that we need to amend clauses 2, 3 and 4, which address pertinent issues affecting employees’ service. I wish that...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, you cannot kill yourself and then resurrect yourself. (Hon. Gathoni Wamuchomba stood in her place) The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Wamuchomba, hold your horses. I will give you an opportunity to contribute. Member for Buuri. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, you cannot kill yourself and then...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. With all due respect to Prof, I think he did not get the gist of the amendment. It simply says that some money was collected before this Act which needs to be regularised. That is why the Chairperson gave an example of Boma Yangu. That...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security is out of order because these are deaths we are talking about. The brew they took came from a Police Station, which is within his mandate. (Applause)(Applause)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, I take this opportunity to commend the Committee. It has given us a good foundation for development of our political economics in this country. I have two issues to comment on. One is the cost of living. What I expected...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I congratulate the Committee led by my friend, Hon. Chepkonga, for bringing this Motion on the Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Suppression of Terrorism. Hon. Temporary Speaker, terrorism has neither boundaries, colour, religion, age or class. It is the mere...

Thank you, Hon Temporary Speaker. This is a very weighty matter. Hon. Temporary Speaker, you are one person who has come out very clearly on the issues of collateral, and I want to thank you. I want to pick up from what a friend said: This is the only time...

Yes. The issue being raised by Hon. Omar Mwinyi, I am told, is before the Committee. Are you aware? Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Housing, Public Works and Urban Development. Correct. The matter that has been raised is within our docket and,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Food security and nutrition is a key factor. It is a basic human right. You recall that this House deliberated on food safety during the budget-making process and slightly before that. The Government is now putting in place measures to deal with food security and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this tax policy. However, I would like to point out a few issues of concern in as far as taxes are concerned. There has been a very serious outcry from low-income earners in our country because of the impact that taxes have had...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rarely agree with Hon. Wamuchomba on many things, but I truly agree with her on this Bill. (Applause)[The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) left the Chair)] [The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) in the Chair]

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues on this discussion about gambling. According to the definition in the Bill, gambling is a game of chance. It is a game of chance for the purpose of making a prize or winning money. That includes...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. One of the most traumatising things to our children is for them to study for many years and expect proper results of their efforts, but that does not happen. We have seen consistency within the Ministry of Education in terms of how,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the increment to this State Department. This Department is very critical particularly now that the President is moving around the world to look for opportunities and jobs for Kenyan citizens. Slashing or giving them a small budget will not give the Department the...

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. My concern is that we are in a period of heavy rains and many roads are going to be affected. As we study and deliberate on this supplementary budget, we want to get assurance from the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriation Committee that...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, I am very conversant with the matter at hand because the Ontulili area is in Buuri Constituency. I know for a fact that the Committee on Lands visited the area in 2018 and gave recommendations as you have read.There are about two groups of squatters;...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to join my colleagues in support of the proposed amendment by both the Leaders of the Majority and Minority Parties. The history of NG-CDF cannot be over- emphasised because it has spoken for itself. One of the things that has come out...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to truly sympathise and empathise with the people of Mavoko. I do not know whether or not those Kenyans whose properties were demolished are Kamba. As you have guided, settlement on a prime piece of land in Kenya, particularly in an area...

No. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am saying that there could be records because we saw the tail-end representation of house owners by Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka. That matter was also thrown out by the courts. That means the court arbitrated. The court issued a judgment based on the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have just come from a meeting of the Parliamentarians Against Drugs and Substance Abuse Caucus, the United Nations Development Corporation (UNDC) , and the World Health Organisation (WHO) . Drug usage is becoming a pandemic in Kenya. It has now become a menace in...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am a proud father of two girls, including a third one, my wife. The dignity of our children… Are you saying that you are the father to your wife? Yes, I have three girls in my house, two daughters and one by marriage. We...

I have a lot of reservations for my senior. I am sure she was asleep. She was dreaming about what will happen in Kitui Central because the girls will revolt against her. What I am saying is that… Do not cast aspersions, Member for Buuri. Her constituency is Kitui South....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What I am hearing from the Cabinet Secretary are the things they will do tomorrow. I see a total disconnect between the practicalities and the implementation of the various programmes. The Ministry of Education already has a deficiency in terms of personnel. The Teachers Service...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I seek your indulgence about the issue of drugs and substance abuse. There are too many rehabilitation centres coming up, some of them are private, and if I am not wrong, a few are Government sponsored. I have realised that in rehabilitation centres, there are...

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works. This Bill was subjected to the normal requirement when presented as a draft. As per the Standing Orders, the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works was...

I stand corrected, and that matter is under the carpet, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, you did not quote the Standing Order, which I need to reply. I have said it is a matter under the bridge, but he stood on a point of order. I have listened to the Mover of the Bill.

I have listened to the Mover of the Bill and taken his word. I apologise. Thank you and proceed. I was at the point of the abuse, which is the major problem that the Committee had. Many organisations cannot implement a 30 per cent allocation for people with disabilities, youth...

Which point of order? Please relax. I do not want to tell you to come up with a Standing Order. Proceed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am saying this because practically, we have seen young people, women and people with disabilities being denied opportunities, yet we have an Act of Parliament....
