As we move forward to support the Motion that has been moved by the Leader of the Majority Party in terms of how business will be transacted during the recess time, we have our colleagues who are newly elected like the MPs for Kabuchai and Matungu. As we speak, they do not have committees. Maybe, using your discretion, you will exercise Standing Order No.1 to see how they will contribute and participate in committees. Since the Committee on Selection chaired by Hon. Amos Kimunya has failed to meet, they can be put in committees as quickly as possible.

I do not have much to say but, as we move forward, we know the third wave is deadly and this is not usual. Last time there were measures to cushion Kenyans and I know many Kenyans have lost livelihoods and jobs. So, we are calling upon His Excellency the President to see what measures to put in place to cushion Kenyans, who have lost their jobs and livelihoods. As we speak right now, I am aware of two marriages that have broken because of loss of livelihoods. At a time like this, there is a lot of stress and ...

Once the churches are re-opened, they will continue providing spiritual nourishment, guidance and counselling. As my colleagues have said, we might be trying to save people from the COVID aspect and yet, we are creating other effects. If we do not look for a way of managing or mitigating this, it might end up killing our population. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support.

Hon. Motari has been the Chairman of the Catholic Parish Church in Chebarus. He had donated five acres of land to the church. I was there during the opening of the church by His Lordship Bishop Maurice Anthony Crowley. As a Catholic family and as the people of the great Trans Nzoia County, we have lost a dear person. His sons are my very good friends. I taught with one of them at Strathmore University. We pray to the Almighty God to give his family strength and comfort at this difficult time.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support Hon. Duale. Some time back when I was still teaching at the University of Nairobi, I was a lead consultant in the development of refugee policy in this country. When we went to Dadaab we realised that, indeed, it is true that the locals voluntarily go to register as refugees so that they can get benefits from the refugee camps. In that context, they cannot be given an ID. To me, this is a matter that is long overdue. A committee should be put in place. The affected persons can do some renunciation so ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This is the only House that has legislative authority. The framework of this Bill is clearly outlined in Article 257 of the Constitution. With due respect to the Co-Chair, Hon. Muturi Kigano, we know very well the Joint Committee was in line with Article 118 of the Constitution, as far as public participation is concerned when it comes to matters legislation. I want to thank Hon. Olago for the clarification. This Committee needs the extension of time, but the issue is that their responsibility is to compile a report as per ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. What Hon. Wangwe has said is very critical. There is a reason why crops are scheduled in this Crops Act. This is because they come with different implications. We have had a debate, for instance, whether Miraa should be a Scheduled crop or not. This House was very much involved and scientific analyses were brought here. You will realize that there were pros and cons on whether this product should be scheduled.
