I think it is also in order that we know any time elections come, about 70 per cent of the Members do not return to Parliament. We do not want to go to the case like in the morning where we were trying to do some sort of mitigation measures to support our Members who left between 1994 and 2001 whereby we had to give them some reasonable pension. It is wise that this House says anybody who has served in this House is entitled to a pension, whether you have served one term or two. I see this Bill ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This is a very important Report. From the outset, I support the Report. The mandate of the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation includes creating dams for water storage, water supply, irrigation, sanitation and also control of floods. Listening to my friend Hon. Wamalwa, he over-relied on the National Irrigation Board (NIB) constructing major dams. Major dams fall under the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation. The Report is very good. I have just perused it. Recently, we had problems with big dams because of the financing model. I ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to say that I support the Report upfront. This issue of encroaching on riparian lands is an issue which is really serious in Kenya. We know, as my colleague, Hon.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Bill and congratulate Hon. Gladys Wanga for the good job and for being elected as the Chairperson of this Committee. This Bill is good. It specifically addresses those who are dealing with small businesses, MSMEs. If you look at this Bill carefully, it talks about those whose annual turnover does not exceed Ksh100 million. So, everybody is covered up to that limit. Even if you are dealing with less money, you are covered by that. However, it is a bit limiting; it says “…which ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also say one or two things about our success at the UN. But, first, let me congratulate our Leader of the Majority Party, Dr. Amos Kimunya, for being given the opportunity to lead us for the next two years. I also thank Hon.
