Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is need to reply to this. I will concede my time and say that I support. Perhaps, what we need to do is to look at the Article 204 (7), which gives us an opportunity to extend the sunset clause and make sure that we kill two birds with one stone with this Bill. At the Committee Stage, we have amendments such that we can recover the lost time. I support.

I would like to confirm that the Standing Committee on Information, Communication and Technology has considered all the amendments that have been brought by the National Assembly at its sitting on 29th June.

Madam Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended— (a) by deleting the expression “(1)”; (b) in paragraph (c) by inserting the words “that has a licence from another county” immediately after the words “a moving vehicle” appearing in subparagraph (vi).

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I would like to thank my good friend, the Senator for Nandi County, for bringing up. this important Statement. Yesterday while watching the news, I was almost in tears as parents were crying and saying that this was an ambush. Many parents have been laid off from work.

systems put in place for the children to access learning through radio or online learning which most parents had paid for.
