Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 27 of the Bill be amended by deleting the word “Authority” and substituting therefor the words “Cabinet Secretary”.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Hon. Ochieng in his plea. I went home a very dejected man last evening. One, I had the opportunity to interact with a quite a number of Members, not below 40 Members, who were locked out when the bar was drawn up last evening. They were actually locked out and they could not vote.

people, including those from hon. John Mbadi’s constituency in Suba, are still to a large extent depending on kerosene stoves. A huge number of our rural population depend on firewood, including our own schools. As Members of Parliament, we know the challenges we encounter in our schools when trying to get firewood. We must encourage our people to change to cooking gas, which is green energy that is not detrimental to the environment and the health of our people. I will, therefore, propose amendments that will touch on Value Added Tax (VAT) on gas cylinders. It is also very important ...

country withhold a lot of premium money that should be paid to underwriters, because they want to raise capital and benefit from holding peoples’ money. That is why many underwriters cannot settle claims. They do this and invest this money to make money, raise capital and turn insurance agencies and brokerages into underwriters. You must decide from the word go, if you want to be an underwriter, pool capital together even as brokers and agents and be able to get into the underwriting business. I have never been in support of the question of doubling the capital requirements for underwriters ...
