13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, it has been our practice since the 10th Parliament. When we lose one of our own, we collectively contribute Kshs10,000 each towards the funeral expenses and to the family of the deceased. So, it has been our tradition. Usually, we do it through the check-off system. I am sure Hon. Nyenze was a great leader and Member of Parliament. I am sure all of us will make that little contribution. Hon. Speaker, you will have to give us some loan because there are some members who might not even have extra Kshs10,000 in their payslips because of servicing ...

13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I want to thank all Members who made valuable contribution to this Bill. For record purposes, the Building Surveyors Bill is in this House accordingly and according to the Constitution. It was subjected, by the relevant ministry, to public participation. It passed through the Cabinet. It was forwarded to the House by the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya who by law is supposed to forward legislative proposal of the Executive to Parliament.

13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly:
Once we form the relevant committee, it will look at this Bill and present a report to the House. It is the only time when we shall bring this Bill for the Third Reading. The reason why we have this Bill before this House is to regulate the activities and the conduct of building surveyors. It is very important. The way there is the conduct of lawyers in this country and how doctors carry out their functions, we must have a law that takes care of how we regulate the activities and conduct of building surveyors. That is why this ...

These days, there are people who have undergraduate degrees, PhD and Masters degrees, but they have never seen the inside of a university. That is why I totally agree with the Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Fred Matiang’i, that for you to get a degree or pass exams, you must sweat. You do not just sit here, and you get a law degree or engineering degree. There is something I used to hear when I was growing up; university cut off points. What happened to that? When we were going to school, all of us used to aspire to make sure that ...

This Bill was dealt with by this House and sent to the Senate. The Senate of the 11th Parliament did not process this Bill. They went home while holding this Bill. We have republished it with the input of the National Assembly, so that we do not go back to the same thing. It is a very important Bill. It was read here in the House on 11th October. This Bill seeks to repeal the Physical Planning Act No. 6 of 1996.

This Bill provides for the planning, use, regulation and development of land in Kenya. It is a very important Bill. As you said, you do not know where the Members have gone to. I do not think Members have gone to the lounge to have tea. You need to help us. The tea and those

are deteriorating. They are not enticing. Once we form the Committee on Welfare, Service and Facilities, it will deal with the matter. I am sure the media will report that Duale was complaining about tea and mandazi. I have all the right to complain because I am a Member of this House and we want to have quality tea and quality service at our restaurant. The hospitality offered there does not befit a Member of Parliament. We can do better.

13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly:
This Bill is divided into seven parts and four schedules. Let me give a brief background on the Bill. The Physical Planning Bill was first introduced in the House in August 2015. It was considered by the 11th Parliament and passed on 16th December 2015 by the National Assembly and subsequently sent to the Senate. So, the Senate stayed with this Bill for one-and-a-half years. Now that we have a new Speaker and a new leadership in the Senate, they should take their work seriously the way the National Assembly does. The Bill lapsed in the Senate following the end ...
