Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support this amendment to the extent that the Cabinet Secretary has been given powers to make regulations in respect to conduct and regulation of the licences. This will grant uniformity to the matter of licensing in this country. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Member...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, under Article 35 of the Constitution, access to information is a requirement. I have seen that the amendment has added official website or social media platform. So, I support the amendment to the extent that it approves the social media as one of the platforms that advertisement...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The word ‘shall’ connotes a mandatory nature, but I differ with this amendment. This is because the legislative role of the counties cannot be dictated by statute law. It is a requirement under the Constitution and, therefore, cannot be dictated by legislation. I need further...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended by—

Hon. Temporary Chairman, litigation cannot be done in perpetuity, even in a court of law. There must be closure to a matter before a court of law. Even in a presidential petition, we have a time limit. If a matter is heard for ten years by the Commission, that, in...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion on the establishment of a priority boarding protocol for KDF and Kenya Special Forces personnel on local airlines. I also wish to thank Hon. (Capt.) Ruweida for such a progressive Motion that she has...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important piece of legislation. From the outset, I wish to thank Hon. Owen Baya for proposing such a progressive piece of legislation. The National Land Commission Act is one of the most crucial laws that...

Honourable Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on National Administration and Internal Security on the remuneration of the National Police Reservists. Hon. Speaker, Section 110 (3) of the National Police...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute on this important Bill. I rise to support the County Licensing (Uniform Procedures) Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2022) . I have read that the intention of this Bill is to establish a uniform procedure for licensing by county governments...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I take the cue from my colleagues to support this progressive amendment. The Attorney-General is the Chief Legal Advisor to the Government and, therefore, the custodian of all legal instruments. I support the amendment to the effect that it be deleted and that the Public Seal remains...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I wish to thank Hon. Korere for bringing this Motion. As we speak, there are sections in this country, particularly the North Rift, that are under a militia. Those are sections of the...

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Bill on national disaster risk management. Under the Constitution, disaster management is a function of county governments. However, the Fourth Schedule suggests that it is a shared function. It is prudent that we set up a proper legal...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I can now procedurally support the amendment by Hon. Chepkong’a. Court rules and regulations must be subject to scrutiny by this House so that we can look at civil procedure rules. The only thing to be exempted is the court orders. There is no way this House...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to support the amendment by the Committee. The sunset clause on the lapse of these instruments was very dangerous for this country. I thank the Committee for coming up to save the country because this could have caused monumental legal challenges in the legal landscape....

That is my first name. Okay. Cabinet Secretary, could you respond to the issue that Elgeyo Marakwet County, despite being referred to as the county of champions and having produced world record holders like Kelvin Kiptum, may his soul rest in peace, does not have a Government-funded high altitude training...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman, for the chance to contribute on Senate amendments. I support the amendments, but I have few reservations. I support to the extent that there is a formation of a county committee. However, if you read provisions of Clause 31G, it says nothing in this Act...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I have heard the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance saying that this provision precludes county governments from making legislations. The provision says nothing in this Act shall preclude county governments from enacting legislation. This means that county governments will make legislation on the Affordable Housing...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for granting me an opportunity to support this Bill. I will limit myself to the amendment in respect of the Chief Administrative Secretaries. The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has responded to the Court of Appeal’s decision which declared that post unconstitutional. We...

Yes, I accept to be guided.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, unless I am not reading the right thing, Clause 12A (3) of the Bill is very clear that the President shall, on the recommendation of the Public Service Commission and approval of the National Assembly, appoint the Chief Administrative Secretaries. ‘Approval’ implies vetting. This House will vet...

I do not need further information. Let me proceed with my argument. When they address the House on this matter, they will raise those arguments. Hon. Chairman, I will allow Hon. Timothy Kipchumba to continue with the debate. If you note something is not accurate, you will deal with it...
