Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. As it has been said by many of the Members who have contributed, this is a very critical Bill not just for the economy of this country, but also the security of our nation. As the last Speaker, Hon. Timothy Wanyonyi has said, it should not just be on security issues around this city, the challenges we have with CCTV coverage that was done sometimes back from 2015, its weaknesses in analyzing what is captured and how that programme was to be implemented to make sure that it ...

Government. Everything is moving towards a computer-based payment system and procurement system. Therefore, it will be critical that we are able to secure our economy, State corporations and public sources by ensuring that we have laws that adequately cover these issues. This Bill talks at great length on that.

Clause 2 speaks volumes about issues that have been raised here about false publications. Hon. Members in this House are the first victims of false publications, be it in the gutter press, social media, WhatsApp or Facebook. We are victims of all these false publications every day. The Hon. Member for Turkana mentioned that these things even go to the extent of defaming people’s families, especially during the campaign period. Many of us were victims, being accused of all manner of things. Recently, my own wife’s name was flashed all over social media over issues in the corporation where she ...

I was speaking about cyber bullying and stalking, issues to do with child pornography. All of us post our photos and those of our families on social media. These pictures are lifted from social media websites and used to either bully or cyber stalk children. You can do that with computers nowadays. You use those photos and the faces of small children to advance very immoral things in child pornography. This Bill is covering all those issues but we must relook at it in the Third Reading. We will be bringing amendments to make it more punitive and more painful ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I second the Motion. I must state that I am not from the airport to see off anybody. I am glad that the State has shown that the rule of law works in this country; that impunity is not one way, it has to be two ways. If there is impunity on the side of the State, there can also be impunity on those who purport…

Hon. Speaker, I stand on a question of relevance. Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ of the famed fake CJ is talking about “17 of us.” He has gone at length to talk about those he is calling peripherals and rural. This Bill, as the good Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ is aware, is about the metropolis. Therefore, when he continues talking about the “17 of us,” I am left wondering who these “17 of us” are. I was assuming he is talking about the 17 Members of Parliament from Nairobi County but there are also other Members of Parliament from Kajiado, Murang’a and the ...

The Division of Revenue Bill, 2018 provides for the equitable sharing of nationally raised revenue between the two levels of Government, as well as additional resources to counties in form of conditional allocations, in terms of grants and loans and the Equalisation Fund as provided for in our Constitution. The enactment of the Division of Revenue Bill, 2018 is critical in setting the stage for the preparation of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill for the Financial Year 2018/2019, which will inform the firming up and completion of the preparation of the annual Budget Estimates for the 47 county governments. ...
