Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had sought Statement (d) from the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the collection of levies by the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) and KAMP-PRISK from business premises and public transport vehicles. The Statement was to be issued on 15th March, but it was not.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I suggest that the Mover while replying, should stick to what he is supposed to do rather than dwell on what does not concern him. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party is still the main player in the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) and we cannot be threatened by our brother the co-principal and the leader of FORD (Kenya) party. I request that you stick to what concerns Kenyans about the Fisheries Management and Development Bill and leave what concerns CORD to us.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my point of order is that Sen. Murkomen should stick to issues of the Fisheries Management and Development Bill rather than discussing our Senate Minority Leader who is not in the House. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to add my voice. My major concern is on the petition concerning ECDE. I sit in the Committee onEducation and we have met the County Executive Committee Members (CECs) from all the 47 counties and other stakeholders in charge of education. We have deliberated on a number of issues thereby enabling us to generate the ECDE Bill. The Senate dealt with it and it is now with the National Assembly. I urge the leadership of the Senate to look into it so that it can be fast-tracked. In the Bill, we are dealing with ...

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir; being a wife and mother. I want to congratulate our candidate in the Malindi Constituency by-election, hon. Mtengo. I also want to congratulate the Members of Parliament, both from the Senate and the National Assembly, for what they did. What we witnessed in Kericho is a bad culture that is being transferred to the young people. Likewise, in Malindi, there was a lot of bribing. Some people even travelled from Kiambu and Kirinyaga counties to bribe voters. I appreciate the people of Malindi because they took the money, because it belongs to them, but never compromised ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for the direction you have given. It is important that we look at interference of intellectual property law. What is being articulated in this Bill is the same as what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, my Senator, brought here yet somebody has cooked it and brought it here.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today is a special day for the women of this country because we are celebrating the International Women’s Day. Therefore, I join my fellow Senators to celebrate the women in this House. I congratulate Sen. Kittony for working on the Bill. I understand agriculture is a devolved function of the county government. It is important that this function is adequately funded. The county assemblies in turn will legislate in order to safeguard agriculture. Kenya is endowed with good soil, climate and rainfall but it is unfortunate that the law is not applied resulting in starvation and ...
