Hon. Speaker, we have been discussing, as Members, officially or unofficially, the review of the NG-CDF Act, 2016. Constituencies have different challenges. There are constituencies with a high population, others have 200 primary schools and 100 secondary schools while others have high poverty levels. Therefore, we have been discussing this. We have done so even in the Special Funds Accounts Committee and made recommendations because of the skewed nature of allocation to the implementation of programmes. We have been discussing ways of revising the NG-CDF Act, 2016, to suit the problems in our constituencies.

I thought before the division, the Chair of the NG-CDF Committee would table some amendments to the Act, so that we can be fair to all constituencies. I hope he still has time to do that. If he is in the process of amending the NG-CDF Act, 2016, he can inform the House so that we buy time to allow the amendments to be brought before the House.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues, Hon. Members, and Kenyans at large, to mourn these two great leaders. I served with Dr. Joyce Laboso in the 11th Parliament and with Hon. Ken Okoth in the current Parliament. Without much ado, everybody in this House knows the caliber of Hon. Okoth. His passion was in education, human rights and fighting corruption. It is very unfortunate that this afternoon we are where we are because of this demon called cancer. Today I saw a tweet where somebody said, “Oh my God, how can cancer come and kill cancer?” This ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to make a very brief comment on the first Petition. Since the last Parliament, the implementation of decisions made by this House through either Petitions or Questions has been very wanting. I have realised that the Petition by Mr. Ngari of Mbeere South has come again after the first Petition that was brought by the Member for Mbeere South, Hon. King’angi. Hon. Speaker, that resident of Mbeere is again petitioning this House after the Petition was executed. Therefore, I do not know, through your wisdom, whether we can go another way of having a ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker I want to make a very brief comment on this Petition by my friend, Hon. Agoi. As he clearly put it, it is very important that the Departmental Committee on Lands, led by Hon. Nyamai, expedites this matter and reports to this House. This Petition is similar to the many others on land matters which have come before the House. So, I hope this will be dealt with in upmost speed so that the family can be resettled. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Iringo has indicated that the Member who was in the Kimeru studio, mentioned Meru Members of Parliament. It is only that the Member is not here. He could really have had to substantiate whether it is only the Meru Members he was attacking or the entire House. I have never been to any office. You know me, because you are my Chair in the Liaison Committee, I have never been to any office. I am not known to be a solicitor of anything. That is why I am totally independent. I work between myself ...
