Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also take this opportunity to join Members of this Parliament to mourn the two honourable Members whom we have lost. We know Hon. Joyce Laboso very well having been our Deputy Speaker in the 11th Parliament. She was both a leader and a very good mentor especially for our girls and women in general in this country. Her work is very clear, especially when she fought and won the Bomet County Governor’s seat. She was focussed and knew what it takes to really become a leader in this country. I remember the 11th Parliament very ...

We have seen public pronouncement by the Director General (DG) who is in charge of the KNBS himself pronouncing that the youth, especially who are not employed are given priority for jobs of enumerators. This is because enumerators’ qualification is not prohibitive for anybody. It does not need a lot of experience because it is a matter of just knowing the area. In fact, enumerators are employed from the local area, therefore, no youth in this country is unable to do that.

However, since it is a very urgent issue, he has pronounced it. Administratively, we will ensure that they follow up with the officers who are based in the counties and sub-counties to ensure that the youth who are unemployed are given priority over others.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. This Motion has come at the right time and is long overdue because we have had this confusion for a long time, starting with the 11th Parliament.

courts in this country. The Constitution is very clear on the roles of the two Houses of Parliament when it comes to decisions regarding sharing of revenue between the two levels of Government. Under Article 95, the National Assembly determines how national revenue is shared between the two levels of Government. Article 95 of the Constitution is very specific that the Senate will determine the allocation among county governments. That means after we determine the share for county governments, the Senate divides that share among the 47 counties. The National Assembly is on record as having been the only House ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, appointments by the President are specifically provided for under Article 132 of the Constitution. Under this Article, certain appointments made by the President shall be confirmed by the National Assembly. Article 132 of the Constitution states that the President shall nominate and, with the approval of the National Assembly appoint, and may dismiss, any state or public officer whom this Constitution requires or empowers the President to appoint or dismiss. Therefore, when the issue of the Inspector General of Police came here, we should not have agreed to the formation of a Joint Committee because the ...
