engagement with either the county or national Government and whatever they have built over time is destroyed. Therefore, it is appropriate that this House supports this Bill by Sen. Omar. This is in a bid to make sure that those who deliberately fail to pay suppliers of goods or services, they are reprimanded and should be recommended that they should not even serve in Public Service. Public Service and public servants have become killers of enterprises. They have become reasons for diseases like blood pressure because of failing to perform their duties while drawing salaries. Therefore, I support this Bill ...

These enterprises have no recourse, even after being pushed to credit unworthiness in Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) and banks, of claiming any form of damage from the procuring entities. Therefore, I support this Bill. I also support the fact that suppliers who are not paid on time should charge interest on their dues until they are paid. They should also ensure that the procuring entity does not procure anything else until they clear their bills. Madam Temporary Speaker, I, therefore, beg to submit and support this Bill.

Thank You, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition. It is extremely saddening to learn that there are civil servants in this country who can withdraw salaries for more than eight years without their work well cut out. The issue of incorporations of boards is not only limited to the Human Rights Board we are discussing in this Petition. There are quite a number of institutions that are operating outside the law because of the absence of the Board. I am also aware that the Tobacco Control Fund has been operating for quite some time without a board. ...

The person responsible for ensuring that this Board should have been in place, needs to be sanctioned and reprimanded for making this country lose for paying salaries without work being done. I beg to support this Petition.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add a supplementary question to what Sen. Veronica Maina has asked. I would like to know from the Cabinet Secretary in terms of quantifiable costs and revenues that the country lost by cancellation of those cruise ships. It is not just about the ones that were cancelled, but also the ones that were scheduled to come but probably those countries could have issued travel advisories in view of what is happening in the country.

As a nation, it is important that Kenyans are made to understand the amount of loss we experience, particularly when people engage in maandamano and the effects that would have in their countries. I would have loved that when the hon. CS is responding to this question, the Senator for Mombasa County and actually a majority of the Senators from coast region, who depend on tourism, would have been here so that they are able to advise their leaders on the losses they are occasioning to their region and the economic sabotage that is happening to their countries. Finally, Mr. ...

My question is: How much did we lose as a country in these cancellations that we experienced?
