Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I join in sending my heartfelt condolences to the people of Rabai for losing Hon. William Kamoti. I extend my condolences to the people of Kilifi County. I support the amendments of the Committee to the Standing Orders. I have noted that, indeed, as much as the Offices of the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party are anchored in the Constitution, their election and removal from office has not been anchored in the Standing Orders very well. Therefore, it will be very ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for equally giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Health Report.

The Committee has recommended to have a health services unit within the precincts of Parliament. During induction, I was not told where I should go for exercises in case I am tired or in case I want to have some massage or something like that. Although I have heard that some Members go somewhere underground for exercises, sauna or something like that, I have never been to that place.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have heard there is somewhere at the basement of our continental offices where it is presumed it is a place for such services. Now that we have a new office block which is going to be opened in the 13th Parliament, it is important that we have this health unit.

This morning, I heard from CNN that some countries like North Korea are experiencing COVID-19 wave. I have also read that a country like United Kingdom is experiencing something called monkey pox. We are used to chicken pox. It is the first time I am hearing of monkey pox. Maybe some people are playing around with monkeys over there and then they transmit to us diseases which are carried only by animals. That is why we come across this thing called COVID-19. No one ever knew what COVID-19 was. As a result of this pandemic, Kenyans have learned to observe ...

Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. In regard to the nominees who have been proposed by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) for the appointment to the EACC, I gathered information that Dr. Cecile Mbinya Mutuku and Mr. John Ogallo did their interviews virtually.

In this country, I have come across members of the Armed Forces who are very senior in the rank of Major Generals, who have retired. Some are still in their very young, very vibrant and can be useful to the growth and prosperity of this country. They have actually acquired all the knowledge while they were still in the institution, yet such people are just left without track of what they are doing back at home. You can imagine people whom the Kenyan Government have invested in to take care of the security of the country and upon some of ...

Hon. Speaker, that is why you would realise somebody like Mr. Mohammed Ali who left the Kenya Defence Forces to come and transform the Police Service actually did an exemplary job while in the Police Service. We need these kinds of personalities to take over running of the affairs of institutions such as EACC. It is unfortunate if we come across people like Mr. Ogallo, and the other nominee, who have questionable integrity issues. They are unable to file their tax returns and yet they are the ones who are being given powers to manage the EACC. This is a ...

Last, but not the least, many a times we tend to promote minority tribes including the people with disability and women in this country for such appointments. Unfortunately, I come from a tribe called Rendille which is one of the minority tribes in Kenya. I am yet to come across a Rendille who is being appointed to such positions since I got elected into this Parliament. Are we not equal to other Kenyans? Does it mean Rendilles do not have an equal opportunity as other Kenyans? What is the problem? Why do we have a provision in the Constitution which ...
