"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First and foremost, I extend a very big thank you to the Almighty God for the opportunity to serve the people of Mbeere North in the 13th Parliament since August 2022. It has been an honour of my life to be of service to my constituents as their representative in Parliament for two years and seven months so far. I express my sincere appreciation to you, Hon. Speaker, my colleagues in the House and the Clerk of the National Assembly for the remarkable support that you have accorded me during my time in the National Assembly and for the friendship and cooperation from each one of you. During my time in Parliament, I have been an active member of the Committee on Delegated Legislation and the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife. I have taken time to reflect immensely on the two-and-a-half years that I had the privilege of serving in the National Assembly and underline the strides I have made through the various legislative tools I initiated as I undertook my constitutional mandate. In regard to Bills, I proposed several Bills that are in various stages of the legislative process, including the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes (Amendment) (No.2) (National Assembly Bill No.40 of 2023), which seeks to amend the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act (No.3 of 2003) to remove the deranged and undue criminalisation of administrative action undertaken in the course of public procurement, which are the result of fraud in procurement laws. The Bill seeks to remove culpability prescribed on persons in charge of administration, custody management, receipts for use of any part of public revenue or property as administrative fraud, as this can be adequately addressed through other numerous existing provisions, including the express provision in Article 226(5) of the Constitution. Secondly, the Assembly and Demonstration Bill (National Assembly Bill No.28 of 2024) seeks to give effect to the provision of Article 37 of the Constitution, which provides for the right of any person to assemble democratically. The others are The Election (Amendment) Bill, 2024; The Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill, 2024; The Data Protection (Amendment) Bill, 2023; The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and The Sustainable Development Bill, 2024."

"content": "Hon. Speaker, in the period of my service, I also proposed Motions seeking the resolution of the House on different critical national and regional matters, including Motion on Development of a Policy and Funding for Junior Secondary Schools. This was aimed at addressing funding gaps in Junior Secondary Schools (JSS), inadequate infrastructure and shortfalls of technology in JSS. This Motion was adopted on 26th July 2023. The resolution made by the House was to develop a comprehensive Junior Secondary Schools Policy to ensure proper establishment of the schools, a clear implementation framework for the Competency- Based Curriculum and to provide a funding plan for successful implementation of the Curriculum. I also proposed the following Motions: 1. Adoption of Government to Government (G2G) Model to acquire and supply fertilisers to farmers at subsided cost. 2. Adoption of Government to Government (G2G) agreements to facilitate local assembly of essential equipment for electricity connections. 3. Framework for Government to Government (G2G) importation and distribution of essential foodstuff and goods. 4. The Adjournment Motion on the new financing models for universities, colleges and technical institutions students.

Statement on sale of Roundup in the country by Bayer East Africa Ltd."
