Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on the Address of His Excellency the President last week when he addressed the nation from the Floor of this House. From the outset, the President had good intentions for this country. Maybe his intentions are what he said; unfortunately, it appears that the people who are supposed to put what he says into action, or his team players, are not reading from the same script as the President. Many things have been said and the President has addressed this nation severally and spelt out benchmarks that ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. First of all, I would like to send my condolences to the victims of these brutal acts and especially the recent one that happened in Likoni. I wish the young boy quick recovery from the bullet which is lodged in his head. I do not know if I should support it or oppose it, but this is a Report which has been brought to us. I really do not see a solution in it. The Committee did a good job in investigating and calling a lot of people who came before them. ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I hope that my remaining two minutes will not be interrupted by points of order. I still insist that time was taken and money was spent on this Report. People sat down but they have not come up with something that can save this nation. I am afraid if they were also compromised.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it has taken me the whole morning to get this opportunity and I thank you for that. First and foremost, let me express sympathy to some of my constituents; a young man called Musete was killed last night by gangsters. He has been an artist who has been entertaining us in social forums. On Sunday, we had a nice day with him when the Deputy President was at Maua Stadium. He really entertained us and we were overjoyed. It is so sad that early this morning I was told that he was shot dead by gangsters ...

regions which are coming up. We should not stick to our tariffs, which are meant to fleece the common mwananchi. How can we tax our goods and expect to compete with the other goods in our region? We will not make ends meet. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the issue of the mosquito and fishing nets. We have the Fisheries Department which has started so many fish ponds in this country. I believe that as Kenyans who want to live healthy lives, we should be going for fish. I think it is high time we reduced taxes on nets, ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me extend my new year greetings to you and to my fellow colleagues. I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion, which I support. Hon. Speaker, I find the time limits which have been set in this Procedural Motion and many others adequate, as my other colleagues have said. Sometimes, debate can be quite interesting and many hon. Members would like to contribute. In that case, the Chair can use his discretion to assess the situation. We can be adjusting according to the need in ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I agree with hon. (Eng.) Gumbo and I support his amendment. I want to move a further amendment to paragraph “b” of that clause which reads “the final expenditure report within three months after elections”. Three months after elections is quite a short period. When people are smarting from the hassles sometimes it takes time to compile these documents and one needs at least to have a rest. So, I propose six months. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ...
