DAWOOD, ABDUL RAHIM

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to join my colleagues to contribute to this Bill. (Hon. Phelix Odiwuor stood up in his place) I request to be protected.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. If Hon. Nyikal’s amendment had talked about statutory deductions, it would have been fine. However, the way it has been proposed is vague. It talks of the net salary and that is what the Chairman has talked about. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) :...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have one minute. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. If you remember, we rid the Mount Kenya region of alcohol in 2015. Licensing is not the only problem. Factories which produce third generation liquors need to be closed down immediately because that is where the problem is....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in supporting the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Motion. It is very important as a country to remember our past, but how do we know about our past if we do not… What shall we do in future?...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I reply, I would like to donate my few minutes to the following Members; Hon. John Kiragu, Hon. Adan Haji, Hon. Susan Kiamba and Hon. Andrew Adipo. And if there is more time, I will allow Hon. Taitumu to say something. I, however, do...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not want to be selfish. If possible, I wish to donate half a minute to Hon. Rael Kasiwai and another half a minute to Hon. Edith Nyenze. Please, proceed and reply. I thank all the Members who have contributed to this Bill which should be...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition by Hon. Kirima regarding Mr Gerald. The amount of money involved is so petty that somebody can make a mistake in the daily accounts received in a bank. M/s Absa Bank should have been more considerate to Mr Gerald. It should unequivocally...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition by Hon. Odege. We should do a classification up to the location level like what the Equalisation Fund is doing. If I tell you that there are some parts of Meru that are hardship areas, you will not believe me. It is...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose to second the motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2022) , be now read a Third time. I also request Hon. (Dr) Pukose to second.

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree with the reasoning that the Hon. Deputy Speaker had given earlier. That it should encompass all because technologies are used and in the drugs title, it was not there. I support. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Kaluma. 24th October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree with what the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health is saying. The Bill is not stating that Nairobi is not the headquarters. It is saying a resolution will be passed to determine where the other branches will be. I do not understand what the...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health. To answer Hon. Kaluma’s point, the amendment says you initially need to have a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy, and the Masters can be in any other field besides pharmacy and medicine. In the Constitution, lawyers had...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I would request the Chairman to make a slight amendment to what Dr Amollo and Hon. Kaluma suggested where it says, ‘…is a Member of Parliament who can get it on resignation.’ You could be appointed a director-general, and at that time you are a Member of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had asked for a special request because my grandmother and father were born in Lamu. We have generations in our family born in Lamu. I do not understand the fight between the two Members of Parliament, as Hon. Owen has said. I can remember what...

Hon. Speaker, I am not satisfied with the answer given by the Cabinet Secretary. I am surprised that the Cabinet Secretary would say they do not regulate merchants who use cards like this and Mastercard. Why then do we regulate banks? Why do we regulate digital payments like M-Pesa? If...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Did I hear the Cabinet Secretary say he is going to form another committee to check the pending bills and for the last 20 years, they have been doing it and he will do another one and then another one? We will not come to an...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I agree with what the Chairperson has suggested. I am wondering how they will implement for a non- Kenyan coming into the country. Where will they be checking? At the airport or the porous borders?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to welcome the delegation, Members of Parliament from the African continent, and my namesake, Hon. Dawood, a Member of Parliament from another country. They should know there is another Hon. Dawood, of a different colour. 27th July 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 5 Let...
