Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill addresses issues of heavy capital investment.

containment measures which will stop the appetite of our private sector together with the Government to borrow. Itemising on the Bill itself, we have various good issues that this Bill is bringing along. We have the issue of the alternative source of funds by the Government. In line with what my other colleague mentioned, it is not good enough to have a structure that you will pay for quite a long time. It is good enough to know that the lifespan of Kenyans in terms of active employment is 25 to 30 years. Therefore, if you are borrowing for a ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition. However, coming back to you, we dealt with a Report on the Joint Departmental Committees on Agriculture and on Trade. I wish that the Committee would extract some of the recommendations from the Report. Although it was not discussed in full in the House, the issue of destruction of businesses by the Multi-Agency Team, in terms of what they formed, the seizure of businesses of Kenyans. The seizure was meant to control the influx of ‘bad sugar’ but what is clear today is that the manufacturers of sugar and cane farmers still ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, allow me on behalf of the people of Navakholo and on my own behalf and that of the Majority Party to pass my condolences to the family of the late Hon.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. With all due respect to my colleague, Hon. Oundo, what he is saying could be right and well-said, but it is not in law.
