Mayaka Irene Nyakerario

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that Article 231 (2) of the Constitution mandates the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) to formulate monetary policy, promote price stability, and to issue currency among other functions; further aware that the National Payments Systems Act provides...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also stand to support this Bill with possible amendments. The area that I want to focus on has been mentioned here before. As a country, we have our aim, and we strive to achieve the WHO) Maturity Level III in terms of health. When...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Bill for this country. We should ventilate and debate it as much as possible. As I was saying, we had instances – and this has been mentioned before – where quacks were operating and practicing in professions where, ideally, one...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to also support the Primary Health Care Bill because I believe that it is a very progressive Bill, especially the fact that it is proposing recruitment of community health promoters. I heard the Whip of the Majority Party, who is our brother from...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Rozaah is a teacher of English and she should know that this is figurative. And we are the people who receive that love language from your Luo brothers, so we know what it means. If I may proceed, community health workers are very important...

Yes. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Okay. Great.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I am well guided. I will continue my further contribution. Even as you proceed to train the community health workers, they also need to study the disease patterns of different areas. There are areas that are prone to diabetes or other lifestyle diseases....

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Hon. Mayaka, what is your point of order? Is it that he has mentioned the new Members or what is it? Give Hon. Mayaka a microphone. Hon. Deputy Chairman. I want to tell my Senior...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I also support the amendment. One beautiful thing about our country is that our culture is extremely diverse. We do not just celebrate the Maasai culture. We also celebrate different communities. That is the beauty of who we are. I also agree that we need...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the female gender, I would like to also thank Members who have sat through this process. As Hon. Kaluma has said, this is the core of legislation. For some of us who are first- timers here, we get to learn a lot...

Point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

On a Point of Order. Hon. Mayaka, what is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am very worried. Today, I went to a public toilet and found that they have condoms for free yet we even have students here crying about lack of pads in their different...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to emphasise that comparing the kind of Velo sold in Kenya with the ones sold in countries like Australia, the one sold in Kenya has a higher level of addiction than those sold in other countries. You can walk to a petrol station...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, could the Cabinet Secretary for Health:

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would just like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for her very comprehensive responses. I, however, have a follow-up question, especially on the recommendation that she has shared in terms of having youth counsellors in schools. Madam Cabinet Secretary, I am asking this because we have had...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to ask the Cabinet Secretary to explain to us the criteria she uses to select an area that becomes a beneficiary. For us who come from the Omogusii Community, we have one site that was declared a protected area and a national...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Mayak. What is your point of order? Hon. Speaker, I have been listening to the Cabinet Secretary answering questions of all the other Members except mine. I do not understand why.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues in supporting the proposal that the ideal thing to do would not be to ban TikTok but to regulate it. From an IT and audit perspective, I want to inform the House that even if you ban any application, if someone...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to make a general statement on the untimely passing on of Hon. Elijah Osiemo, who was the Leader of the Majority Party for Nyamira County and the Member of the County Assembly (MCA) for Nyamaiya Ward, West Mugirango Constituency, Nyamira County. Hon. Osiemo passed...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for mentioning that. I appreciate it. I also join my colleagues in supporting this very thorough and well-done document. First of all, I would like to give my accolades to the Chairperson, Hon. Fatuma “Network”. Clearly, her network was in full mode when...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question goes to the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Eliud Owalo. The interests are many, so ask one question. Ye, I only have one question. Considering the fact that the rest of the world is revolutionising from the fourth industrial phase to the fifth industrial revolution and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I give my remarks in support of this Report, I would like to take a minute on behalf of the people of Nyamira because yesterday was a dark day in our county. We lost the Leader of the Majority Party of Nyamira County Assembly,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know some of these issues are just a google away. For example, the CEO of Kenya Power, the CEO of the Geothermal Development Company and the CEO of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority all come from one community. Which community? The Kalenjin community. It is...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will bring you the specific names tomorrow. You will allow me to table them in this House. (Applause) Would that suffice? Yes, together with their identity cards and lineages to show their tribes. Their details, including their villages, are public knowledge. I will bring the information...

Yes. It is. It is a serious matter because it is a substantive matter in this Report. It is on gender, ethnicity, and regional balance in this country. I thought we were debating the Report concerning the education sector and not the energy sector. This is a point in the...

Much obliged, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will do that. Parliament sits tomorrow afternoon. Much obliged, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You may proceed to conclude. I kindly request that the clock be turned back to amber because my time has been stolen by very many people. That was my very last point....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to inform the Leader of the Majority Party that we do not have a committee called the Committee of ICT in this House. It is the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. The ICT is just a component of that Committee. Thank...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank the Member for bringing this Motion on the Floor of the House because it is a very emotive matter. It is very sad to see one of our Members shedding tears as she speaks about this because she knows firsthand, the...
