Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support unreservedly the BBI Bill. We are privileged to live through and participate in this historic moment. Building a stable and prosperous nation is an exercise that never comes to an end. Chinese philosopher Confucius said that our greatest glory is never in falling but in rising every time we fall. Nations develop by constantly probing their systems, reviewing and questioning what works and what does not work. The Constitution is a living document; it is a document for the people by the people. It is for us to decide at ...

We need to be physically present in good health and in good state of mind. So, I am glad that we have ...

Hon. Speaker, as we talk about the distress that our people are in, I want to agree that every time there is a lockdown, there are economic effects that come with it. After the restaurants were closed, I saw the Kenya Tourist Operators making some requests which should be looked into so that the visitors who had already booked are not affected by the cessation of movement or operation of restaurants. As a House and the Executive, we put in place many measures during the first wave to relieve our people from the economic distress, including a Kshs53 billion Fund ...
