Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to further add my voice to this issue as an interested Member from the Majority Side of these changes that are continuously becoming regular. It has become like a musical chair to be a leader in this side of the House. Therefore, my only point of concern is that, as legislators, it is time to have a discussion on how to handle the Political Parties Act. We had great debate last time when the Act was brought before this House in 2016. We should give ourselves more power, with the exception of, Sen. Moses ...

the Senate, there might be infringement of small parties that have 15, 20 or 30 membership. How will we determine leadership positions or Committee chairmanship? In the two Houses of Parliament that have existed post the current Constitution, it has been simple because we have always had a contest between two coalitions. However, we might get to a point where there will be three or four more coalitions and deciding the House leadership will become chaotic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, party leaders do not legislate in this House. How can we legislate and give them powers for them to abuse the ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you. I will do so. As I said, I really appreciate my colleagues. They took time this afternoon out of their busy break to come and transact business on behalf of the millions of Kenyans who depend on tea farming. I appreciate every one of you because this has been a two years journey that we have walked together as a House. It has nothing to do with me as a person, but everything to do with Senate. The fact that we passed the Motion that set up the ad hoc Committee. Madam Deputy Speaker, we ...

However, today, as the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Orengo said, it is one of those rare occasions where they have agreed to the work that the Senate has done. It will not be fair on our part if we do not appreciate our colleagues in the National Assembly who went ahead to add to make so much more contributions to the Bill by including 34 more Clauses from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the things that they considered that we had not factored in as a House in our contributions. It is a big milestone for both ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker for this chance. I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the people of Kericho and Kenyans who may not get a chance, to share the grief in this format and manner to pass their condolences to the people of Machakos, the family of our colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, following his untimely demise. I agree with those of my colleagues who agree that Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka was a witty man and was blessed with a way of simplifying the complex issues. On one occasion, I had the chance of travelling with our colleague, Sen. ...
