    "content": " Hon. Members, before I open debate on this Bill, allow me to recognize - in the Speaker’s Gallery - Kanjuri High School students from Mathira East, Nyeri County, who have come to visit the National Assembly. On behalf of the House, please, help me to welcome them to observe the proceedings. I also wish to guide the House, further to the guidance given by the Hon. Speaker that, all transactions in the House will be by card. All Members should ensure they have their cards for speaking on the Floor of the House and voting purposes. If you have lost them, kindly visit the ICT Department, and replace them. Any other way will not be accepted. There is a further clarification. There is an allegation by Hon. Clive Gisairo that on Wednesday, 14 February 2024, there was a total blackout during the House proceedings. He also said there were no records of the House proceedings on that Sitting. I would like to clarify for records and clarity purposes. I have duly been informed that on the said day, all records of the House were done properly. All the sites, Hansard, and broadcast were updated. Therefore, the recordings of the proceedings are intact and done in the prescribed manner. During that Sitting and all the others, there was no time the House had a total blackout. On that said Sitting, there was internet interruption affecting the YouTube platform for a few minutes. However, the records were not affected. They are all available, as they have been requested by Hon. Gisairo. That is just for clarification. They are available at the Hansard and Audio Services Directorate and Parliamentary Broadcasting Unit. You can access them. Therefore, I will open debate on this Bill. I know Members had keyed in. I do not know if you still want to speak on this Bill. Member for Mandera South, you have the Floor of the House."
