Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to also add my voice to the debate by supporting this Bill with proposed amendments. This Bill has not provided for exceptions. I will look at it and propose exceptions to the rule. We should have exceptions especially on the issue of acting in an office for six months. That rule should be very clear. There are situations where an employer has given leave of absence to a manager, so the employer has no choice but to bring in another person to act. That is a very valid exception which I will ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to confirm that I was sent an e-mail by one person from Infotrack called Javin Wanyingo. In the e- mail, the person requested that we meet in their office in Lavington now that the performance for Navakholo for 2020 was out. My question to the person was what we were to meet for, what we were going to discuss and what incentives the person would want from me. It means this is a hoax based on inducement and a wrong way of approaching research. I want to shame and say that Infotrack lost on ...

What they are doing is simply positioning the brains of Kenyans in view of what Members of Parliament are doing today. What if we were in a political environment in which elections are forthcoming? That is wrong. This House should regulate how research is done and how matters of comparison are going to be done in the country.

Hon. Speaker, allow me to associate myself with Hon. Wamalwa, who suggested that we compare and enforce. The research world should be regulated by virtue of good regulations made in the House.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to appreciate the Report and thank the Chair and the Vice-Chair, my very good friends starting with lawyer, Hon. ole Kenta, Hon. Osotsi and the team as a whole. This Report is good and I support it because of its ability and its measurability. The Committee has compared and brought a very strong element of quality into perspective where this House has been challenged that both the secretariat and the Members should be able to put their heads together, debate a Bill or a Motion on the Floor and ensure it is ...

up with a Bill since the two were Motions by Hon. Wamalwa in 2008 and by Hon. Malulu Injendi in the 11th Parliament. Let the Committee now give us a Bill which we can debate and put into an Act so that we can now get a cadre lower than a sub-chief to employ in the Civil Service who could either earn honoraria or earn some allowances, so that our village elders can have something to take home. I want to thank the Committee very much because it is being handled very well. For the first time, in the 11th ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me also to join my colleagues in appreciating the Report by the Committee, where I am also a member. At the outset, I also want to congratulate Madam Nderitu Ann for being nominated as the Registrar of Political Parties. Hon. Speaker the Registrar of Political Parties (RPP) appeared before our Committee and her presentation was smart and accurate. She was very positive. She told us her humble beginning having begun her career as a teacher and grew up into being an Inspector of Schools where she was the first female Authority to Incur Expenses (AIE) ...

House. But because he was not qualified in law, this House voted that Professor out for being the CEO of NG-CDF. Similarly, Mr. Mohochi does not qualify in terms of statutory provisions as they are today. Therefore, it would be important that this House vote not to approve the name of Mr. Mohochi, because he did not qualify in terms of the ethics. We cannot verify because the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is also not sure of this person. This person lacks the 10-year mandatory requirement as per the Political Parties Act. Therefore, in terms of law, this person ...
