Hon. Wangwe does not intend, post-retirement, to go back to KeRRA, KeNHA or KURA. I also hope that your retirement does not come soon. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was speaking on the question of registration with the Engineers Board of Kenya. It is important to have, at least, 15 years’ experience with, at least, 10 years’ post-registration experience. I would really want to implore the Chair to support me as I intend to bring an amendment to retain that. It is important to have 15 years’ post-registration experience in road engineering and its management and, at least, 15 years ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know Hon. Pkosing is still in West Pokot. He is yet to come back to the House. In this House, when I stand on a point of order, I am not really interrupting. I just want to mention that he said that, indeed, parts of these proposals were done in the 11th Parliament and that Bill died in the Senate. I wish to remind him that as much as he says I was among those who passed those amendments, at the time the Roads Bill was discussed in the House, I was outside the country. ...

Is Hon. Pkosing misinforming the country that I was part of those who passed that proposal that I am now opposing? If he consulted with Hon. Kamanda, he would tell him that even in the 11th Parliament, I was opposed to a five-year term. I remain opposed to a five-year term.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second. As Hon. Nzambia has articulated in moving the Motion, a health and wellness unit is very important for this House. In the 11th Parliament, I remember at one point while we were seated in the Members’ Lobby, Hon. Samal, the then Member for Isiolo North, collapsed. None of us who were there had any medical experience. It took us time to even think about where to get an ambulance from. Indeed, a Member had to run to St. John’s Ambulance, opposite County Hall, to get an ambulance to rescue the ...

You have seen even members of staff falling ill in their offices. With the traffic in this town, even rescuing a member of staff and taking them to hospital takes quite some time. Indeed, this a best practice all progressive Parliaments around the world adopt. Hon. Nzambia will tell you that the Liaison Committee has visited the Parliament of Ghana. Also, being an emerging democracy, and a good case study in Africa, they have such a unit in Ghanaian Parliament. It is not just parliaments, but the Central Bank of Kenya has such a health service unit for their staff. ...

Hon. Sabina had asked for such a provision for infants and young lactating mothers to have a place where they can take care of their children within the precincts of Parliament. I, really, want to encourage the Parliamentary Service Commission to ensure that as they complete the new office complex, all other available space that is being left within is utilised to make sure that we have all these facilities around so that we do not just be seen to be going to benchmark in other countries like Ghana, our own institutions in the country like Central Bank and Safaricom, ...
