Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish all the Members a happy season after the break. I second the Motion. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the onset, I want to declare that I support this Bill. I want to congratulate Hon. Malulu Injendi and remind the House that it is through little things that we change society. Peter Potter, a renowned change manager for institutions, had this to say:...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to add my voice on this issue. I do not know how I want to describe that message from the Executive. To the best of my knowledge, the Chair of the Committee on NG-CDF is embarrassing and it is unacceptable. You are putting all...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. A very long, lofty in words and, as usual, full of promises was the Speech that we were treated to here. The Constitution requires the President on that particular day to address himself on what he has achieved in realising national values in the country....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will start by agreeing with the views of majority of my colleagues, who ostensibly agree that the Mavoko land issue is not just a regional or a Machakos issue, but a national disaster. I keep asking myself two questions during my term in...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I have an amendment on that clause. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’): There is a new clause which you will have a chance to move. I am aware of that. Just relax Hon. Nabii. We will come to you at the right time. Clause 54The Temporary...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I think by deleting that clause, we are being retrogressive. I can give you an example. Butali Sugar Company, which is one of the best performing private sugar companies performs because it has a representative of out-growers on the Board. Actually, the Chairperson of Butali Out-Growers is...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move that New Clause 53A be now read a Second Time. Hon. Temporary Chairman, the clause on pricing had been put in the Third Schedule. I propose to introduce it in the main body of the Bill because of the issue of pricing to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. After the consultation to enrich the provision, we are adding Sub section 4 (e) that KSRTI shall provide a formula to guide the committee. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : It is Sub section (e) because it is amending Sub-clause 4. Sub clause 4...

I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting the First Schedule and substituting therefore the following new Schedule: DELINEATION OF SUGAR CATCHMENT AREAS Sugar Catchment Area Counties I propose to amend the First Schedule on delineation of sugar catchment areas. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) :...

Yes, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : I want to hear whether you have reached a consensus. Hon. Temporary Chairman, we have not reached a consensus. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Thank you. Hon. Members, this will go either way. (Question, that the words...

THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended by deleting the definition of the term “mill gate” and substituting therefor the following new definition— “mill gate” means a site where sugarcane is received at the respective weighbridge. The definition of mill gate is misplaced in the Bill. I have just...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Sometimes I get concerned and very angry when very educated and knowledgeable people try to retrogress a country. When we have a corporate board… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Are we on Clause 14? Why should the board… I am talking about Clause14....

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support the amendment for the following reasons. The purpose of this Bill is one, to ensure productivity by the farmers. Two, we want to improve on profitability of the farmer. Three, because heavy machinery is used in the catchment areas, part of the money generated from...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion by the Member for Langata. A health hazard is the biggest danger ongoing at the Langata Cemetery. This can cause an epidemic that has never been witnessed before. As we are all aware, the cemetery is within the vicinity...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to add my voice to this Motion by Hon. Mwenje. First, I thank him because in this country, we have a group of Kenyans we have dehumanised by calling them squatters. It is over 54 years since Independence and land is not being...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank Hon. Wangwe for coming up with this Bill, especially one that lapsed in the last Parliament. This Bill comes at a tough time in our history as the people who grow sugarcane because many years after 1984, this is the first time millers...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate my colleague Hon. Ruku for being the first to do this. Whereas many of my colleagues have argued that the implementation of CBC was rushed, I will take a completely different view. Inertia and failure by Government machinery amount to less time for...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to raise two critical things. We have a duty to protect the Constitution and the integrity of this House. The most important thing that Hon. Opiyo Wandayi raised is the issue of throwing tear gas in the precincts of Parliament, where there was...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to oppose this Bill based on the Constitution of this country. Article 1 (1) of the Constitution provides that: “All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution.” We took an oath. It was...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Motion on the appointment of the two nominees. I had an opportunity to work with His Excellency Isaac Rutto. There are two important things about him: independence of mind and being meticulous and attention to detail. There are very few people who take...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Having looked at the Budget Estimates for the 2023/2024 Financial Year and noting that I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Education and the Public Accounts Committee, I have various issues to raise. There is only one teacher in every Junior Secondary School (JSS)...
