Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker and briefly let me thank Hon. William Chepkut for this Petition and even having intimated that there will be a meeting in Glasgow in the month of November and which Kenya should attend via the committee and other stakeholders. I want to support this Petition and say that climate change is a real issue now. There is suggestion from the scientists that even the COVID-19 which is ravaging the world is courtesy of issues related to climate change, although that is yet to be proven. Therefore, this petition is timely. I want to briefly say ...

Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for calling Hon. Kositany to order. I think the increase of forest cover especially in places which have been left out like in my own constituency is a good idea. We have Nganyi Shrines and Nganyi Forest which are now being interfered with. These are some of the areas that need to be protected together with the Ebusiekwe Forest. Finally, this aspect of using schools as centers to plant trees is very good. Let it be given emphasis. Let primary schools, secondary schools and all institutions of learning be given trees to plant. This will ...

Thank you Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.074 of 2021, directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain whether there are any plans to rehabilitate and repair the Emustsusi-Khumusalaba and Emhumbe–Eburangwe Campus Roads in Emuhaya Constituency considering that the roads are in deplorable state, with several collapsed bridges? (ii) When will the Ministry upgrade the Emustsusi -Khumusalaba and Emhumbe– Eburangwe Campus Roads to bitumen standards? Thank you Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. Let me also thank the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) and the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC). Both speakers spoke very calmly about this Bill. “General” Kioni especially, was able to take us down the line on how he went around issues of this Referendum Bill. Therefore, from his speech, I noticed that this is a process that needed to happen and had to happen at a particular time, which is now. Therefore, it is well placed before the House for discussion. The forthcoming referendum is a very ...

process that is driven by the people themselves. In this case, the one that shall be coming has been driven by the people themselves. I would, therefore, wish that as we speak on this, and especially when we move to the Third Reading where we shall have amendments, we, the legislators, will look at the law without attaching it to any event that is coming. After all, we have had three or two referendums in this country before and they were there without this law. But we have been given a chance to make a law that will now be ...

a person is registered, that will be very weak. Remember when we had the Punguza MzigoInitiative; they lost, partly, because they had presented names of people who were not in the register and some whose signatures had been forged. It is our business as Parliament - and that is why the law is here - to come up with a specific method that we can give IEBC. Let us not surrender our guard simply because we want to move fast. If anything, it is not a matter of moving fast because BBI has already gone through the IEBC. We are ...
