Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this chance. I support the Petition because it is timely and also long overdue. Many of the people in the diaspora want to invest in Kenya, but they end up having their money wasted to people who pretend to invest on their behalf. We have often heard that some of them have come back and collapsed because they do not have the investments they thought they had. I think this petitioner has mapped and identified a unique area that needs a law put in place so that there is a channel and an office ...

This is extremely unprecedented. Even during the old times of President Moi, we did not see Kenyans queue like they are doing for fuel like people looking for water. The laws that govern how to carry and handle petrol do not include carrying such a substance in jerrycan. We are headed for a big mess. The vice-Chair, as she said, should bring an answer by Tuesday so that Kenyans know what is really happening with fuel.

Yesterday I watched a clip of one of the Principal Secretaries in that particular Ministry who seemed to say that there is something called panic buying which has caused such a huge shortage. That was such a casual answer that some people panicked because there was lack of fuel in a place around Eldoret and panic engulfed the entire country and that is who we can explain the shortage. That is very casual. We cannot blame panic buyers on the road with cars. So, we wonder how this panic buying is causing such a hullabaloo. When the Chair gets the ...

Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask Question No. 096/2022 to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government: (i) What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that a civil registration centre is established in Emuhaya Constituency to facilitate service provision to the large population in need of registration services in the area, considering that the only registration centre that serves the area is located over 35 kilometres away in Mbale Town and is overwhelmed, as it also serves the residents of Hamisi, Sabatia, Vihiga and Luanda constituencies? (ii) Could the Ministry consider ensuring that each ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me congratulate Hon. Osotsi for bringing up this Information Communication Technology Practitioners Bill, which in essence is trying to regulate, put in focus and standardise that particular sector. This sector is a time bomb and a revolution in itself; it is actually a whole world. Away from the earlier revolutions that we had and which have changed the world, whether you want to think of the old Agrarian Revolution that began in Britain or go to the Industrial Revolution, the ICT revolution is the greatest and momentous that is going to change the ...

Regulating this sector will be very important, especially, to the education sector. This is because ICT is currently playing a major role in the education sector, especially with the CBC. You often hear parents talk about having phones that are digital, and so on. Therefore, it is important that we regulate this sector so that we know the type of information that is reaching the learners. Be it as it may, and with the COVID-19 experience which we saw and which we are still grappling with, it is a sure bet that education soon or later, as the late Prof. ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was just consulting with the sponsor of the Bill. I had also had a lot of discussions with him before the Bill came to the House. I support the Bill. The issue of checks should not be a hindrance to young people who want to get employed. Even before you decide whether you are taking somebody on board, you are profiling him either as a criminal or as someone who is unable to do one or two things. The young people do not have the finances required to process most of the requirements that ...
