NYIKAL WAMBURA JAMES

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Report, which is extremely important because it is looking at Article 54 of the Constitution. Although it confines itself to Article 54 (2) which is basically about employment of the 5 per cent which is required...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Report. I would like to start by congratulating the Committee for the good work they have done. Particularly, for the clear way they have presented it. They have made it possible for us to discuss...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Yes, Hon. (Dr) Nyikal. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to bring to your attention that we do not have quorum in the House and yet, what we are discussing is so important to this country. We cannot have only four or five...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. Firstly, I think it is not understood what internship for the medical practitioners is. Unless the doctors or the health workers do internship, they cannot be registered, and therefore, cannot be employed anywhere. They cannot even go to other countries...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to seek your guidance regarding this Senate Bill. I have noticed that it does not have memorandum of objects and reasons. I have noted this in many other Bills from the Senate. It is a good guide for understanding what Bills are all about....

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the principle of the Bill. I do so because I ask what the purposes of the authorities were. They were to take advantage of peculiar opportunities in different areas so that those potentials could be exploited, promote local...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I must appreciate what the Committee has done. It is the second time that we are discussing the Budget Management Strategy during the budget process. It is the first time we are doing it before the Budget Policy Strategy which...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me start by appreciating the principals who allowed this to happen. Let me also appreciate the Leader of the Majority Party, and the Leader of the Minority Party for the effort they have put in this work. The most...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As we go to Order No.8, I rise to seek your guidance on tabling and contents of Committee Reports regarding Bills. Although what I am saying arises from my observation on the Bill we are discussing I think we, as a House, should address that issue....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to discuss this. I rise to oppose this Bill because it is flawed. The objective of this Bill is to provide affordable housing, to establish a levy and to give a framework. However, it does none of those. Throughout the...

That is exactly my point. You have reminded me of another reason why I reject this Bill at this point. The Mover and the Seconder did not discuss the Bill. They were discussing the report, which means that, to a large extent, without it, this Bill cannot pass. It makes...

Yes, I will. Do not get distracted. I have reviewed the report and the format. First, it came late, and so we had no time to read it. But looking at it, a report of this nature should have a clear schedule of what amendments are proposed. It is almost...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. This is an extremely important debate. The village elders are the feet on which the government is walking on the ground. Without them, there is no link with the communities. They are in all parts of the country. On security,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a national issue. The issues we are raising here are just a fraction of the whole. The responses we are getting are also in small bits. If we leave alone this case in Kericho, the issue of floods and unpassable bridges affects the entire country....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this Committee Report. It is extremely important because it is addressing two things killing this country; that is corruption and tribalism, whether we like it or not. It is important that we move meaningfully and sincerely as...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, that is exactly my point. If it were so, the Committee would not have even bothered to raise it, but since they did, it creates some concern. They took refuge under the exemption while dealing with extremely important matters. If you go to paragraph 3.4, No.25, the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I take this opportunity to congratulate you on being elected as the Chairman of the East African Bureau of Speakers. I know you have the capacity. It has always been my wish that we should make the East African...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will support… (Loud consultations)

I ask to support this Bill with a lot of reservations because basically lottery is gambling. Whether it is gambling or betting, it is the same thing. Taking chances with the little resources you have in the hope that you will get bigger ones without actually working for it. We...
