Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) It is a request for guidance. I am delighted that you have referred this matter to the Departmental Committee on Lands, because there has been a practice of referring most matters to the Public Petitions Committee, even when they lack the capacity to deal with...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) I support the amendment but I would like to bring to the attention of the House that the amendment we have just passed is incorrect. Clause 7 (b) says: “has not been exposed to work experience related to the person’s area of study” The Temporary...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) I support the deletion of the word certificate because there would be too many definitions. Under the Kenya National Examinations Council Act, it would have a different definition from this and at any rate, it is not very clear what kind of certificate that would...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU)(Technical hitch)I am in a difficult position because I am opposing Dr Nyikal, my Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health.

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) I urge Members not to pass this amendment. I want to be on record. How can we make a law stating that the Cabinet Secretary shall make regulations in consultation with the relevant State organs? Which are they? Whom will the Cabinet Secretary consult? We...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) If the Chairman is amending Clause 5, he may consider vacating it, as he has not internalised it. We could say he is dropping the amendment because it does not relate to Clause 5. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : I agree. I...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I was concentrating on Clause 2 that I forgot about Clause 9. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon.

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) I support, Hon. Temporary Chairlady, in view of the fact that the Social Health Authority (SHA) is not a responsibility for the employer at the moment. It is going to be a contravention of the fact that the employer does not participate in the SHA,...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) I rise on a point of order to request a more reasoned decision by you on this issue of referring the statement to the Committee. We do not refer matters directly to the Cabinet Secretary. The Committee is not a conduit. In the present setup,...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, Hon. Gichimu is the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation and I am also a Member of that Committee. This is where the cabinet secretaries get the power to make regulations but it is difficult to put this as a mandatory...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) I have a problem with that because Clause 15 is a provision on delegated legislation. This one seems to produce another issue. Is this the clause that states that in recruiting candidates for employment, a public service institution shall consider a candidate’s previous internship? Is...

Hon. Julius Sunkuli (Kilgoris, KANU) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I oppose that amendment because it does not conform to the reality in Kenya.
