Sen. Tobiko, your time is up. Proceed, Sen. Tabitha Keroche.

Now that I have heard the information she wanted to let me know, I do not wish to be informed. (Laughter)

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I was panicking about the time. I am still not sure about the minutes I have. However, let me say that I support this Bill and congratulate Sen. Cherarkey and the Co-sponsor of the Bill. If only this law, once enacted would be able...

Sen. Tobiko, what is the point of order?

Thank you, Senator. Sen. (Prof.) Tom Odhiambo Ojienda, proceed. Sen. (Prof.) Tom Odhiambo Ojienda, SC: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the NADCO report. Let me start by procedurally, thanking the team that sat together to deliberate over the many issues that bedevilled...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the NADCO Report. Let me take this opportunity like my colleagues to thank the President and the Former Prime Minister, hon. Raila Odinga, for agreeing to engage and save Kenya from civil strife. I think this is where we were heading. So, let...

No, I was seated here.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was responding to the Chairperson of the Transport Committee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 56 (1) (b) to make a Statement relating to the activities of the Standing Committee on Education for the period between 1st July 2023 to 31st October 2023. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Standing Committee on Education is well...

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank you. At first, I was struggling with the Swahili from the coast region by Sen. Faki. It was not easy for me. Nimetoka bara na Kiswahili chake ni kigumu kiasi. The Committee is trying to do--- Sen. Tobiko, you cannot mix two languages. Pick...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I second. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to)

Clause 5 Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move- THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended - good ideas and are courageous, to start a business without a fallback position because they lack title deeds.As it was noted by many Members who contributed to this Motion, it is...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not intend to use all that time. I had laid the foundation for the recommendations that we came up with as a Committee. I also explained some of the difficulties and challenges we underwent in the process of collecting information and executing...

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to Move- THAT, the Bill be amended in clause 12 by deleting subclause (2) and substituting therefor the following new subclause – report of the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). There were many challenges and delays and all we needed was to get the facts right...

Yes, I do, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a follow-up supplementary question that Sen. Seki had asked on Isara-Mashuru-Kajiado Road. I needed the Cabinet Secretary to understand the situation on the ground. I am sure he was responding to the questions based on the data given to him by the...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can the Cabinet Secretary state whether there are plans to upgrade the Isinya-Konza Road to bitumen standard and, if so, indicate the projected timelines for the same.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a bit difficult to speak on that specific road. This is because, as the Cabinet Secretary has said, they are waiting for funds. Nonetheless, allow us to make connected supplementary questions. I want to inform the Cabinet Secretary that I have lamented on the...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am glad to hear that the Ministry is now going to do dams and water pans at the park areas because this has been the biggest contributing factor to the human-wildlife conflict as the wildlife get out of the parks to get water from the...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. To be able to engage myself with the Presidential Address to the nation in three minutes, I must be a genius. However, I will try to go to the key points. We must appreciate the environment in which the President was making the Speech....

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Throughout this impeachment Motion, I took my time to listen to both sides without trying to give my advice to my sister. This is against what was expected by many Kenyans and many people in Meru County. The Counsel for County Assembly, Dr. Thiankolu, has...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is an important Petition. It raises pertinent questions on the qualifications of all the Speakers in the country that are in Parliament and the county assemblies. I believe we should raise the threshold on people who are going to lead these county assemblies...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, I congratulate the Mover, Sen. Cherarkey, for bringing this noble issue to the Floor of this House.
