Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. On behalf of myself and the people of Tharaka Nithi County, I wish to send my condolences to the family of the Governor of Nyeri. In fact, in the morning, as I was coming from Tharaka Nithi, I found the vehicle of the late governor being towed. It was a very sad and tragic sight. We are praying for the family and we are telling the wife of the late governor that the Lord is there and will fill the gap left by the late governor. He is going to see ...

It is very unfortunate because Nyeri County lost their first governor recently. We are praying with them. They should not ask the question why it is happening to them. Everything that happens has a purpose. God will see them through. We are praying. The late Governor Wahome was a great man. He taught my sister at the university. He is also a friend to Tharaka Nithi people. The other day he came to Tharaka Nithi to campaign. He was very close to my governor. We need to pray and console the family and the people of Nyeri County. We are ...

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I rise to support the correction that has been made by the Leader of the Majority Party in that the typos that are being corrected do not go into the substance of the Bill. As such, it is of no consequence apart from getting the record straight and the Bill to be in the proper form. I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also take this opportunity to congratulate you for being elected by the people of Kibwezi East and for the appointment to the Speaker’s panel. I also want to thank Hon. Melly for bringing this important Motion. This is the time we need to have the policy for sugar farmers. It is very important. In Tharaka-Nithi County, we do not have sugar-cane, but we consume the sugar. When we do not pay a farmer, we kill the farmer. They have taken a lot of finances from the banks. It ...

from outside there is of low quality. So, we need to support those people. This is the time we need to create policies that protect our farmers in this country. We are not only talking about sugar. Look at the cotton industry. Some of the factories in this country closed many years back. We had Kisumu Cotton Mills (KICOMI), Rift valley Textiles (RIVATEX) and others, but they are all gone. We are relying on clothes from other countries. We are building economies of other countries. This is the time we need to build our own economy so that we can ...

On a point of order. Is it in order for the Hon. Member to mislead this House by saying that Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka was prevented from travelling to Uganda? Can he prove and substantiate to this House now?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank my friend Hon. Ochieng for bringing this important Bill to this House. This Bill is intended to protect the domestic industry from foreign competitors who are dumping their materials in this country. Many years back, we had so many industries in this country, particularly the ones that used to produce textiles. We had the Mount Kenya Textiles, KICOMI, Rivatex and many others. They used to create a lot of opportunities for our youth but, today, we have many highly educated youth and they are not ...
