• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: The good thing is that irrespective of its origin, what M-Pesa has done to the world cannot be ignored. Similarly, when we renovated this Parliament, Members may remember that the Prisons Department was invited and none of the materials used here was imported; they were all made in Kenya. So, there is evidence that we can do things with just a bit of research and tweaking here and there to not only supply this country, but also the world. I am really encouraged that we are moving in the right direction with regard to giving KIRDI and, indeed, other research ... view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: House, perhaps in the course of next week, anyone with any amendment will have the opportunity to move the same. I got an indication that some Members may want to propose amendments. They should take this weekend to bring their amendments so that by next week we can finish this matter in the Committee of the Whole House and give KIRDI and innovators in Kenya and the business and industrial community a befitting gift from this Session. With those words, I beg to reply. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill is being harmonised with the Coffee Bill that was introduced in this House. The Committee is still in the process of harmonising the two. They have pleaded for extra time to be able to bring a report that will have harmonised the two Bills. Hence, I would wish to withdraw it. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was ready to move this Bill, but the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has pleaded that they are adopting the report tomorrow. Because of the importance of this Bill, he did ask that we give him a bit of time so that they formally present the report. In keeping with the decision of last week, I would rather we have the report before I move the Bill. So, I would like to ask that the Bill be stepped down. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on this particular business, the Chair of the Public Investments Committee really wanted to move it. This is the second time it is in the Order Paper without the mover. We will take a decision on it at the next House Business Committee meeting. For now, it looks like there is no mover. We can step it down. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this particular Bill is currently undergoing public participation. I believe the last day of public participation is 30th November 2021. Because it is potentially controversial, we would want to ensure that we do not shorten that period. We would want public participation to run the whole course up to the 30th. Therefore, we can step it down until we complete public participation. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we were in the House Business Committee and we asked the House to extend the time to 9.00 o’clock, we had in mind that we will also be considering the Bills from Private Members. Hence, we worked on the Bills appearing from Orders No.20 to 26. Unfortunately, I do not seem to see any of those Members who had Private Members Bills present in the House. Perhaps, what we need to say is, if you are not there, obviously, there are implications. They lose their slots and go back to the very far back of ... view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We have five minutes. I do not know whether we proceed or not. However, for the convenience of the House, I am prepared to move. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, aware that the history of any institution is key to evaluating its development; FURTHER AWARE that documenting history provides a knowledge bank for future generations; NOTING that the history of the Parliament of Kenya is largely unrecorded, scattered and piecemeal; FURTHER NOTING that most comparable jurisdictions have elaborate records of their history which are periodically updated to capture new developments; COGNISANT of the fact that the Parliament of Kenya marks its 114th anniversary this year having been established as the Legislative Council (LegCo) in August 1907; FURTHER COGNISANT that the legislature ... view
