to the Motion. Before I go to one of my points, let me correct the impression created by Hon. Kang’ata to the nation that what we are doing here is completely negative and it will impact negatively on the country. That is not the case. Instead, let him go back to his constituents in Murang’a and encourage them to plant trees and conserve the environment. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ratifying this agreement will benefit this country a lot because there are benefits accrued like financing of projects, capacity building and technology transfer. This will go down even to the shopkeepers. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance so that I can support the Civil Aviation (Amendment) Bill. I want to be gentle enough to also allow my colleagues to contribute. I will restrict myself to one or two points that make me support this Bill. If we pass this Bill, we will conform with existing conventions. It is also important for us to increase our direct flights to various countries. With the passage of this Bill, we will have direct flights to the USA and we must appreciate the fact that President Obama has his parental ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I join my Committee members in opposing this Senate amendment in totality. The reduction of the number of years from four to three will not only be unfriendly to the investors, but will also scare them away. So, I oppose the amendment.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill that has come from the Committee where I sit. I rise here to reject the first amendment which deals with Clause 4 and support the second amendment which deals with sub-clause 5. What is being discussed in Clause 4 is a national function and not a county function. Listening and looking very carefully at where we are as a country financially, it is not fair to unnecessarily over-burden the taxpayers. We have the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) regional and county offices which will ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to what my colleagues have moved on the Floor of the House. I rise to support the Senate amendments moved by Hon. Chachu and seconded by Hon. Barua Njogu. If you allow me, I can refer to two clauses which make me strongly support the amendments. First, Clause 20 seeks to provide for compensation for damage as a result of the exercise of the powers of the Director of Mining. It is only fair that every Kenyan gets justice in terms of compensation. This clause is meant ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this opportunity so that I can also throw my little weight behind those who are opposing this clause.

enter into the law we have of privileges and to dilute it and make us irrelevant in this Parliament. As we are aware, it is not all officers who work in this Parliament who are trained as police officers. If we start allowing this, then we will dilute the whole law and then render ourselves irrelevant in this House. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this opportunity to break my silence on this very serious and important Bill. I support the amendment. It is only that the Mover has used a very harsh word. If he withdraws that, I am comfortable with the amendment. I support the amendment. Thank you.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As I support this amendment, I wish we could give the Mover some time and keep this amendment pending. This is so that this expression reading “not exceeding two years” can be amended further; it is so lenient. This could mean even two or three days. It should be amended further.
