Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to also support the Motion on extension of time for submission of the Central Bank of Kenya Financial Report for the 2018/2019 Financial Year. I would like to add my voice to concerns raised by some Members who have spoken. This extension is occasioned by the vacancy in the important Office of the Auditor-General. It is very unfortunate that a constitutional and independent office - the office which helps us as a country to ensure that all the national and county government organs entrusted with public funds are held accountable - ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As you give direction, one thing we need to appreciate is that in the north, we are experiencing torrential rains. If the recruitment continues the way it has been advertised, I can assure you many of our The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

sub-counties will be left out because the roads from the sub-counties to county headquarters are impassable. The Chair, through the Speaker, needs to reverse this. We have to go back to sub- counties to be fair. Many people cannot afford fares from wherever they live to county headquarters.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. Livestock is a very key sector in our economy. It is unfortunate that it has taken us this long to formulate a livestock and livestock products marketing Bill. When we talk of livestock, in as much as those of us from ASAL are concerned with poor support for livestock marketing, especially cattle, sheep and goats, this particular Bill relates to all species of livestock—specifically cattle, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, mules and poultry. In the livestock sector, it is only the dairy sector which has a board. The Kenya ...

2016, His Excellency formed a board using the provisions of the State Corporations Act. In that Executive Order, the CEO of that board is clearly stipulated to serve a four-year term which is renewable. I would like to see us considering specifying the term of the CEO. Marketing of livestock involves sale of live animals. We export many live animals to the Middle East countries. We also export products like meat and milk. But, as I have already said, as far as dairy products are concerned, the only problem we have is that it focuses on milk production from dairy ...

Hon. Tiyah, as a nominee, represents the minority group in many aspects. She comes from a minority ethnic group, a marginalised area in this Republic and, more importantly, she is a woman.

It is not easy for a woman from a minority ethnic group coming from a disadvantaged area to get to the final list of nine nominees nominated by His Excellency the President. She is a former Member of this august House. I represent a constituency where Hon. Tiyah comes from. I can confirm to this House that I followed the deliberations of the Departmental Committee on Lands when they were vetting all the nine nominees. I can confidently say that the issues raised against Hon. Tiyah were in relation to tax compliance. It had nothing to do with tax evasion. ...
