Hon. Temporary Chairlady, if you look at the First Schedule, there is an indication in the figures given for the amounts that each county is going to benefit. To inform the Member, Busia County is getting Ksh105 million. Previously, it had received Ksh62.5 million. Percentage of completion… (Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Concerning whether that money has been provided for, I can assure the Member that a total of Ksh1.9 billion was allocated in the First Supplementary Budget. The allocation includes Ksh105 million for each county. There is also a concern among members about the oversight of...

Thank you. What is being deleted in the Second Schedule is the original allocation that had been proposed to go to the counties that were to benefit from the earlier allocations before the variations. It is so that we can adopt the amended figures in the new Schedule. Thank you....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to second the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, 2024. I will be very brief. I want to make it very simple. We suffered a shortfall in the projected revenue, which was occasioned by the failure to enact the Finance Bill, 2024. As a...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support the amendment, especially the new addition that relates to Article 27 (8) of the Constitution. It states that not more than two-thirds of either elective or appointive positions should be from the same gender. That is a good addition. Therefore, I support it. However, I...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the amendment because the previous one was a bit shallow. For example, paragraph (a) had only limited the regulation and promotion to growing and spinning. But the new amendment brings on board value addition and marketers and so, it is broader and encompasses...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I thank the Committee for this amendment. These amendments are bringing clarity on how to support farmers and the formation of co-operatives. Above all, it brings about specificity to the intent. The previous one was too wordy. They have summarised things and are now very...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. We need certainty and uniformity in the process of licensing. If we allow too many bodies and give them powers to offer this service, it is going to cause a lot of problems. I support the amendments by the Committee. (Question, that the words to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I oppose this amendment. First of all, it is ambiguous. It just recommends imposition of a levy. What will the imposed levy be for? If we want to impose it on imports, we have to be specific and say that it will be imposed on...
