Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on this petition and I will be very brief. Many farmers have lost their property through co-operative societies. Where I come from, this is actually what has brought down the coffee sector. When the farmers from Kieni Farmers Co-operative Society seek the indulgence of this House for support… I think no Member should belittle what has been brought before this House. I heard the Leader of the Minority Party saying clearly that very simple matters are brought to this House. I think wherever the petitioners are, they are not ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to give my sentiments on this Motion. At the outset, I support this Motion. I hope this is the last batch of the constituencies which were left behind. I hope now that all the constituencies have given out their list, gazettement will be done as the Leader of the Majority Party has promised. Something that is key that this House should do is to constitute the House Committees. The leadership of this House from the two sides should move with speed, put any differences aside if there are any - which I am ...

As a legislator earning a salary, I really feel that I have not done anything for the people who elected me simply because the Committees are not in place. We cannot do anything. However, today I was happy to see the Whip of the Majority Party, Hon. Washiali and the Whip of the Minority Party, Hon. Junet walking together from an office. So, I can see now there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I can see some white smoke might come up very soon so that this House can move on. Besides the 2017/2018 NG-CDF appropriation ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Motion by the Leader of the Majority Party. In many instances when there is no private business from Members, as usual we have a similar Motion so as to put the record straight. I also want to take this opportunity to condole with the family of Hon. Kabeere M’Mbijiwe who was a Member of this House for three terms from South Imenti Constituency.

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Kabeere M’Mbijiwe sat in this House for three uninterrupted terms. He served during the government of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. He was appointed as Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs. He then worked closely with former President Daniel arap Moi as Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Energy and Minister for Health. For those Members who do not know how he looks, his portrait is at the entrance of the main Chamber. I would wish those who know him and those who even do not know him, but maybe like his face, to at least, ...

1963 should not be left to go down the drain, especially a time like now when people are contesting presidential elections like it is a job. Sometimes these lawyers… I am not a lawyer myself and I am not belittling them, but they should not be running to court for very flimsy reasons to contest the election of a president. It looks like a president is now like a small boy in this country and anybody can just go left, right and centre to contest his election. Kenyans should really behave and know that, that is an office which owns ...

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I want to support this clause as amended. This is because it really aligns the rights of the voters to the election laws and the Constitution.
