"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that this House do agree with the report of the Committee of the whole House on its consideration of the Kenya National Council for Population and Development (National Assembly Bill No. 72 of 2023). This is a very important piece of legislation to set up the Kenya National Council for Population and Development. We have heard about it for many years, but it had been anchored on a legal notice. We are legislating so that we can set up the institution. This is a positive move. I thank the Committee, chaired by Hon. Kimani Kuria, for a good job. We now have a law that establishes this organisation. I love the transitional clauses. We pass some laws here which are eventually controversial in the sense that we do not know where the staff will go. This law is very solid. It will establish an organisation that will take the population matters in this country forward. On that note, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to request the Whip of the Minority Party to second."

I know for this segment it is not a debate, but really to congratulate and raise one or two issues."

"content": "But I just want to say that contrary to the concerns of the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, from my experience, we are doing much better as a House. The Committee of the whole House and the Third Reading usually attract very little interest because it is a real place where the rubber meets the road. But increasingly, as the Parliament is growing younger and more intellectual with greater capabilities, I see Members doing a lot more. And so, I just want to thank the Members."

"content": "One of the things I would want to encourage, because this will affect not just the Bill on the population, but other Bills that will be coming up, we need to look at the diversity, the religious diversity of the country and configure a way of being inclusive. For instance, I know when you are talking from a national level, the (Seventh Day Adventists (SDAs) may be a minority if you think about it at a national level. But in my constituency, SDAs are more than 80 per cent of the constituency. So, for you, it might look like a minority, but for me, it is a majority. We must appreciate everybody in their manifestations and forms. So, I would want us to consider a manner in which the Christian faith is inclusive and the way in which the Muslim, Hindu and other faiths are also inclusive. Otherwise, I do second."

The next Ksh100,000 is taxed at 25 per cent, and then there is a skip all the way to between an annual salary of up to now Ksh380,000 to Ksh5.612 million at 30 per cent. Therefore, that huge jump is something that needs to be reconsidered."
