Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Bill. I rise to support the letter, the intent and the spirit of the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 57 of 2025) . Sitting here this afternoon and listening...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will be very brief on this subject matter. I take the cue from my colleagues who spoke before me, especially on the delay of this Report. This Report refers to an audit that was done in 2013. That is 13 years ago. Some of the recommendations...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. At the outset, I thank the Chairman of this Committee, Hon. Nicholas Tindi Mwale, for the substantive Report he has submitted to this House in respect of the Report of the Auditor-General for...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. First of all, I am impressed because I was checking whether there was a clause on the repeal of the previous 2008 legislation. I have noted with great satisfaction that Clause 85 of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to comment on the Fire and Rescue Services Professionals Bill (Senate Bill No. 55 of 2023) . I associate fully with the sentiments of the Chairman of the Committee in charge of the Bill, my friend, Hon. Lochakapong. He has done a tremendous...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. I take the cue of my colleagues that we have an obligation as a House to protect, defend, and respect our Constitution. We also have an obligation as a House to defend, respect,...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to support the amendment by the Chairman. The original provision in the Bill caps the internship period at a maximum of 12 months. The amendment to Clause 13 by Hon. Nyikal states that subsection (1) shall not apply where a regulatory authority prescribes an internship...

I rise to support the amendment by the Hon. Chairman because 24 hours is quite unreasonable. I think 14 days is reasonable to the extent that someone can explain where they were. That guarantees fair hearing pursuant to Article 50 of the Constitution. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai)...

Whereas I support the know whether I am allowed to propose an amendment at this stage. I would ask: who determines the nature of offence once an intern has been arraigned before a court of law and charged with a criminal offence? Can an employer determine whether an offence is...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I have an issue with that proposed further amendment. The Committee on Delegated Legislation is mandated to scrutinise statutory instruments in this House. It determines whether an instrument complies with the Constitution, the upper limits and what it provides for. The way the Bill is drafted is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Bill. From the onset, I thank Hon. Gachagua for such a progressive Bill. This Bill seeks to provide for a comprehensive legal framework through the establishment of the Environmental Professionals Institute of Kenya. This will promote professionalism within the environment...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the allocation and disbursement of Transitional Infrastructure Grant (TIG) funds to learning institutions. TIG funds are a Government initiative programme that is...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a different question. The other question was about School Equipment Kit (SEK) , but this one is about TIG funds. Whereas, I respect Hon. Tonkei’s sentiment, this is a very serious issue. Under the current CBE Programme, we need more classrooms. Many pending projects, under...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the President's State of the Nation Address. The President made the address pursuant to Article 132 of the Constitution. It was made in Parliament because this is the House that has elected representatives of the people. Therefore,...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding the electrification of newly established schools across the country. In financial years 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017, a...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to speak on this very important Report. I associate myself with the sentiments expressed by Members on the status of implementation of the Constitution, insofar as these three institutions are concerned. These institutions exist to give life to the Constitution...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order? Please, give him the microphone. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 35 on quorum.
