As Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah has correctly pointed out, we did build consensus with very senior accountants - Hon. Kimunya and Hon. Ichung’wah. That is because the consensus came on time. The other consensus they are talking about has been overtaken by events. This particular section deals with the issue of trainee accountants becoming members of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants. That is what the amendment is dealing with. I beg to also move, with your permission, the further amendment to this amendment, which will make this amendment now read: “A person seeking to undertake examinations in accountancy as prescribed ...

Hon. Chair, that is self-explanatory. What we are saying is this: Trainee accountants’ needs to register for purposes of their examinations. In the further amendment by Hon. Ichung’wah which I am moving, in the event the person is not employed, they should not be required to make any payment to the institute. That way, they are protected.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to step down this particular amendment to the Investment and Financial Analysts Act, 2015. The justification is that the Committee was deleting these sections requiring funding from the National Treasury, but in actual sense...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The party leader is very passionate. I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion annulling the Special Economic Zones (Amendment) Regulations. As has been said by my colleagues, the Committee under the Statutory Instruments Act has the option to either accept the regulations in their entirety or annul them. So, it puts the Committee in a very awkward position and I understand. The regulations we are dealing with here, some are very crucial regulations. We are talking about development of our special economic zones. I have looked at the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, he is debating. I do not have to agree with him. This is a Chamber of debate. I give my view; it might oppose what you were saying or what you want, but this is the essence of the House. You debate as you wish. I think the Hon. Member just wanted to debate further, but he had already spent all his time in debating. He is my good friend; we ate Miraa with him in his constituency in Imenti, but I wish he did not interrupt my train of thought on this matter because it ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Kiai for bringing up this very important Motion and also for sharing his story, as has been said. When you are talking about the NHIF and healthcare, you are looking at accessibility, quality and affordability. So, the first important issue in my view is that of access. Right now, COVID-19 has gone to our counties. It is ravaging our villages. When it gets you in the village in Laikipia or Homa Bay, for example, do I have access? When I go to the referral hospital in Homa Bay, will I find ...
