Yes, hon. Speaker. You realize that we have problems with the Committees. My petition has been pending before the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives for 372 days. Maybe, the Clerk’s Office should do a thorough audit.

Hon. Speaker, it was about the tea development levy and other related issues. We need to know whether the Committees are not supposed to be working for Kenyans.

Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to the Motion. I want to congratulate the Chairman, hon. Were, and his Committee for a job well done. There are many Kenyans out there who have some differences with members of this country. It is important that when such petitions are brought, the Committee concerned does the work that has been done by this Committee, to interrogate the issues raised so that we do not sacrifice Kenyans out of their careers. Therefore, I support this Motion because the Committee was very objective and careful. They did a careful ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like the Mover to tell us what has informed this amendment or its import. But if you want to propose the Question and then he responds, that is okay.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also want to echo the sentiments of the Member for Aldai. Let us do away with strokes. We should not be 50-50, the watermelon way. A Member of Parliament should either rank lower than the governor or vice-versa . We should also separate Members of Parliament of the National Assembly from those of the Senate. That way, one can differentiate one category of Members of Parliament from the other. Therefore, there should be no strokes at all.

Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment as moved by hon. Kamama because in the Public Service, you realise that there is a lot of laxity in the way people work. One of the reasons why we do not have good service delivery is because there is no training for continuous improvement in the service. I support this amendment because our men and women in the Public Service should be trained. This training can also help them get promotions in the various departments that they work in. If possible, those who are already trained and those who ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is not on this issue. I just wanted to seek some clarification on the same. I am wondering whether I should ask now or when the Bill comes back. His intention was wonderful because he wanted Muratina to be included in this Bill. However, when he was doing this amendment, he forgot and only talked of sorghum, millet or cassava and yet Muratina is purely made from sugarcane and honey. Where I come from, these are what we use to make local brew. I am requesting hon. Ichung’wah to consult again on whether to include ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker for this opportunity to also contribute to this important Bill. I want to start by stating that the implementation of the Environmental Management and Co-ordination 1999 Act has had a lot of grey areas. This is the right opportunity to give this country a new Act, 2014. This Act is a constitutional requirement because most of the devolved functions, especially to the county governments touching on environmental management such as air, water and noise pollution need to be considered. I want to mention that there are various institutions, as our Chair mentioned, which seem to be ...
