Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me start by appreciating the initiative by Hon. John Kiarie (KJ) . Storing knowledge is recognising knowledge, and a museum is exactly in the same place as a library, except how it is used. We should not only see...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. May I also take this opportunity to congratulate our colleague for shifting and picking up very well in his new docket. My Question is on the preservation of indigenous trees. Some of these trees have very high commercial value. Their protection is important. Some of...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health. The Statement our Hon. Chairman has read does not reflect the position of the Members of that Committee. One, and I say it with courage…

Let me finish. Two…

Hon. Deputy Speaker, to begin with, we were not even aware that this Statement was going to be made here. There are three issues. One, is the issue of the integrated health information system, whose purchase costs Ksh104 billion. Two, is the transition process that Hon. Elachi was talking about....

If the Ministry wishes to make a statement to the public, it should not be through this House. If the Ministry wants to make a statement, it should not make reference to the discussions before the Committee. Once the Ministry mentions issues that are being discussed before the Committee, it...

Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You may proceed. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a Report that we need to support. The future of Africans, in my view, lies in the unity of Africa and seeing Africa as one both in socio-economic and, if possible, political sense. We really need...

Thank you once again, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We are coming up with great ideas today that are not receiving much attention. The concept of this technopolis, which is actually an industrial park, is for innovation. The bigger idea behind it is the use of knowledge in production. In many countries,...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Whereas I do support this, but they are actually ignoring an extremely important fact that we should address. If in some parts of this country we are actually having a problem of getting people with qualifications of that level of C- (minus) , the bigger...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Report of the Joint Committee. I must commend the Joint Committee for the work they have done. They have looked at all the relevant areas and the processes that need to be taken into consideration,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question is technical. The key issue is the banding instrument. You said that you are using means testing. Which means testing are you using? Is it a proxy means testing or any other means testing? When you started using it, was there any public survey...

When we want validation of the instrument, you have designed the instrument and you have got the people to fill it and give you information. You must then go to the village and see if the information given reflects the true life of those people. When it came to verification...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We are in a crisis because the Ministry of Education is characterised by lack of coherence in policy formulation and implementation. In the recent past, what have they done? They came up with things such as delocalisation, localisation, 100 per cent transition, CBC, and then...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support this. First, I appreciate the work that the Committee you chaired has done. But I want to make one point regarding that. It is good for us to get these reports early. The last time we got the report,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a big problem for all the people around the lake. I want to draw the attention of the House to the fact that two years ago, we passed a Bill in this House that established the Kenya Coast Guard as a unit whose functions...

Hon. Speaker, this is a beautiful proposal that is not progressing well because of logistics and management. At this point, what we need for every student is information. For instance, if you are in Band One, this is your amount for the loan and household. If you are in Band...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I appreciate how far back we have gone when I listen to people. All the things we are recommending here and wishing to do were in the East African Community Treaty. Some of us do not even know why this...

What is currently happening? We cannot sit pretty in this House and yet, we know that some of the names are in that office. We have been told that there was a circular. Even if its interpretation is wrong, that can be dealt with later. If the documentation is wrong,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I rise to support the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, which has come as a result of the circumstances that we have just gone through. It then gives us the opportunity to reflect on how we do our...
