Boss Gladys Jepkosgei

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Deputy Speaker. I rise on a point of information and a point of order as well. The diversity envisaged in the Constitution is not in the myopic way that you are looking at it, Hon. Junet. Diversity should be evident when we...

Hon. Speaker, I want to ask Hon Chepkong’a, who is my Member of Parliament, to apologise to the women and the girls of this country. There is nothing shameful. There is nothing to hide about having periods. Hon. Chepkong’a has a wife who has periods, got pregnant by him, and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to lend my voice to this very important subject. I wish to thank the Chairperson of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) ; the Member for Kajiado, Hon. Leah Sankaire and the Member for Nairobi County, Hon. Esther Passaris, for...

I second.

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new subsection (6) by inserting the words “and the Parliamentary website” immediately after the word “circulation”. This is just for neatness because in the modern world, websites are also a means of...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move that the new Clause 4 be now read a Second Time. The new Clause 4 seeks to amend Section 19 of the Statutory Instruments Act, which requires the Clerk of the relevant House of Parliament to notify the public of any revocation of...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Supplementary Appropriation (No. 3) (National Assembly Bill No. 71 of 2023) , and approved the same with amendments.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I seek a clarification on the Statement by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Sports and Culture, particularly on paragraph 1.2 where he says that the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports proposed Kenya’s bid to host the 2027 AFCON as part of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to make a follow-up question to the Cabinet Secretary. He has given very elaborate explanation on how they want to make the police more efficient in ensuring there is security. Are there any plans to use modern technology in improving safety and security? For...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I agree with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health. As much as it looks like there are several amendments in this Bill, those amendments are not substantial. They are restricted to small corrections of the use of certain words so that we can be...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. We are losing the objective of this Bill, which is to move Kenya from Maturity Level 1 to Maturity Level 3, at a minimum. We want to achieve Maturity Level 4. We have not achieved Maturity Level 3 because according to the World Health Organisation...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I think we are not doubting the existence or use and usefulness of herbal medicines. We are talking about approved medicines here. The day herbal medicines will be approved, then at that time, they shall come under the ambit of this particular Bill. For now,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. That is my claim to fame. That, I taught some clever people, including yourself. You were a good student. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lend my voice to this very important Bill - the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.2...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to give some information to Hon. Oundo. It is only natural that work had already begun in that Ministry for almost a year now. Obviously, there are things that have begun and are halfway. Certain strategies and plans are already in place. It is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairperson. I also support the dropping of the amendment to allow the increase of the set 11th October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 11 number of judges to 70. This has come sooner than we expected. I was the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary when we increased...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to stand in support of Hon. Ibrahim Saney’s Petition seeking the ban of the use of asbestos roofing materials. It is about time that the National Assembly dealt with this problem. It is clear that nobody is using asbestos on new buildings. The...

What is Velo?

On a point of order. Order, Hon. Robert. Let us hear a point of order from the Hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you, Hon Speaker. It is a point of information to Hon. Mbui. He is being a pessimist, and if he believes that technology does not work, you should stop...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to lend my voice to this extremely important 26th September 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 42 transformational Bill. I think today is an important day in the history of Kenya. It is 13 years since we promulgated the Constitution,...
