Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. If you need services in any institution, the first thing you are asked is to produce a birth certificate. It is unfortunate to note that there are people today who are over 20 years and have no birth certificates. So, it is good to establish a database in every civil registration centre, so that information concerning a person within specific regions can be contained in one document and can be accessed when required.

Such a move will ensure issuance of birth certificates to the young ones because it is a requirement in schools now. For any child to register for examinations, you are supposed to produce a birth certificate. If you do not have that certificate, you are sent away and this will lead to failure in the education sector. Also, when somebody wants to acquire a passport, they are required to produce their birth certificate. If we come up with a database in every civil registry, everybody will be registered and will have a birth certificate. So, it is a good idea ...

Doing this will also reduce congestion that is normally experienced in civil registries. Most of these registries experience very long queues because of people who are applying for birth certificates. Some people spend months before they receive birth certificates of their kins. In addition, this will enable many sub-counties to benefit from this move because currently, we have very few civil registries within our regions. For example, in my constituency, I serve more than five districts and people come from all the districts to Maua to seek birth certificates. They are normally met with congestion as many people come to ...

Asante sana, Bwana Spika. Nasimama kuunga mkono ripoti hii, lakini nitaenda kinyume na wale ambao wanasema kwamba vijana hawana ujuzi wa kazi hii ya ubalozi. Hii ni kwa sababu wakati ambapo taifa hili lilifanya uchaguzi mwaka wa 2013, Rais na Naibu wake hawakuwa wamefikisha umri wa miaka 60, lakini Wakenya waliona kwamba walikuwa na ujuzi wa kuongoza taifa hili na ndiposa waliwapa nafasi hiyo. Kwa hivyo, ile dhana ambayo kila mmoja akisimama anasema kwamba vijana hawana ujuzi, sio ukweli. Wakati huu pia tuko na gavana ambaye ana umri wa miaka 30. Watu wa hiyo kaunti walimchagua kwa sababu walijua kwamba ...

Asante sana Mhe. Spika. Hakuna mtu yeyote ambaye anadhalilisha mtu sababu ya umri. Lakini kama mtu amestaafu, ni vyema yule ambaye hajapata kazi apate nafasi hiyo ya kazi kwa sababu ni wengi ambao wanatafuta hii kazi na hawawezi kupata hiyo kazi. Sana sana, namba iliyo juu ni vijana wengi ambao hawana kazi kwa sasa. Kwa hayo machache, naomba kuunga. Asante.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me give my brief comments on this Petition by my friend, Bishop Khamala. As Hon. Mbadi has put it, I thought he was talking of “Kambas” but I took my time to get to know what he was talking about. Let us appreciate the fact that, that is a dialect issue. We have different dialects. I also concur with the petitioner because once an institution has been established in a certain place and you decide to relocate it, you really inconvenience people. Some people will already have invested in that area in terms of constructing ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, I want to congratulate Hon. Ichung’wah for this Bill. It is a well thought-out Bill that will give a foundation on how we handle disasters in this country. I hope the Authority will live to the wish and the mandate of the Bill, so that we can change this country from its reactive nature towards disasters. Our country is prone to droughts, heavy rains and other disasters, but unfortunately, we only react once calamities befall us. We do not prepare for the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide the status of ownership and the number of all parcels of land set aside for public use in Maua Township in Igembe South Constituency? (ii) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that all public land is safeguarded against irregular allocation and grabbing by individuals for future developments? I thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to thank Hon Benjamin for bringing this Bill to this House. This Bill is crosscutting. It favours persons of 59 years of age and below. This means it caters for the youth and the elderly. The Bill is seeking to set in law the 60-year retirement age so that we can hold accountable the appointing authorities that extend the retirement age limit.
