This Bill will also clearly provide for the roles of national Government and county governments. For the first time, we are seeing a strong collaboration between county governments and the national Government in making sure that we are in this new direction of preventive and promotive health services.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is my question to the Cabinet Secretary.

Thank you very much Hon. Deputy Speaker. I first stand to support the amendment of this Bill on climate change and carbon credit. The carbon credit trading is a new platform that will be a revenue earner for this country. We all know that we have two levels of government. We must ensure that counties where forests grow will also benefit from the carbon trading. It is surprising that Kenya is almost number two in Africa in terms of carbon credit trading, while we do not have a regulatory framework.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion of the formation of a National Dialogue Committee and adoption of the names that have been given.

One of the most important things this Committee should not do is to accept and set a precedence that ...

that we create an official Opposition Leader position within Parliament. That was within our plan as Kenya Kwanza. Mr. Speaker, Sir, after all these suffering, violence and loss of property and lives, finally the chicken has come home to roost. Azimio has now accepted that we need to create the position of official Opposition, which we proposed. We thought it is extremely important for those in the Opposition to also be heard in Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is extremely important that those in the opposition can also be heard in Parliament. As we conclude the dialogue, I urge those ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you very much for the opportunity to comment on this Statement. I rise to support the Statement on the issue of sugar in the country. Sugarcane farmers have suffered for so many years because of the management that we have had in those sugar factories. We must also take cognizance of what the Government is doing in revamping the sugar industry in Kenya. The Senator for Vihiga County has, unfortunately, walked out of the House, but I would have wished to inform him that already there is a Cabinet Memo that has been approved ...
