At the outset, the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill was published in April 2018. Therefore, it has been around for close to now six months. It contains amendments to 15 different statutes and seeks to effect minor amendments to various Acts that do not warrant major amendments. I will look at the Report that was tabled by the Committee and if the Principal Secretary and the Cabinet Secretary have confirmed that, that is not their section and had attended a Cabinet meeting then they have questions to answer to their bosses.

In Parliament, under the leadership of the Hon. Speaker, we work with flow of written communication. We receive a Cabinet Memo before a Bill comes to the House and the Attorney- General also sends the Cabinet Memo and his letterhead.

Two, this miscellaneous law is looking to amend the Dairy Industry Act, Cap. 336. This Dairy industry is very important in our national economy. This Bill proposes to amend the Act to enlarge the definition of “milk”. In the current definition in the Dairy Act, there are certain types of milk which are missing: milk from goat and camel.

I want to speak as a camel farmer. There is nothing to declare, hon. Member for Kiharu. The way you have five or 10 acres of coffee bushes, I do camel farming. I am a proud owner of over 220 she-camels. They are in between Isiolo and Garissa counties. Whenever people of Kitui District see any Somali with a camel, they say the camels belong to Duale.

Camel milk is being recognised here. ...

Secondly, it is amending the National Hospital Insurance Fund Act, No.9 of 1988. We are trying to amend NHIF Act to do a number of minor things. One, is to change the name to “National Health Insurance Fund”. The other thing is to enable the Fund to receive contribution from the national Government, the county government and employees for the administration of employees’ benefits. It is expanding it so that members of the county government, members of the national Government and other Kenyans can access the Fund.
