Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was raising a point of order for what Hon. Duale was saying. We are discussing a Procedural Motion to see whether we are actually going to extend this sitting to 2.00 p.m. I wanted to suggest that, as a House, we just need to make that decision. You just put the Question then we say “Yes” or “No” and then we move on. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. First and foremost, I appreciate your ruling on how a popular initiative is supposed to run and the fact that you indicated the need for us to respect the history and the process of this particular Bill. I urge my colleagues to remember why we are here. I remember when we got into this House, in 2017, my friend Hon. John Mbadi and I could not even share a cup of coffee.

put us in this House are disappointed with us when we are unable to look at the global good of our nation and get stuck in our personal ambitions. Hon.

Because of that, ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this appointment. I had actually raised a point of order on the comments that were made by the Leader of the Minority, Hon. Mbadi. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, one of the things we interrogated was the importance of that particular Department. Hon. Speaker, curriculum implementation, which is what Dr. Fatuma is coming into the department to do, is important. I do not know whether Hon. Mbadi has children in the lower classes. We are currently going through a transition of curriculum. The transition ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion on the appointment of Dr. Jamleck Muturi John, PhD, for appointment to the position of chairperson of the TSC and Mr. Timon Alfred Oyucho Otieno for appointment to the position of member of the TSC. The only thing I would like to emphasise that has come from the substantive presentation by the Chair is the critical role that the TSC plays and the fact that we have a CBA coming up in a few months. It will require us to have quorum which we do not have at ...

To take cognisance of the need for regional diversification, it has been noted that the commissioners, including the nominees, will be representing North Eastern, Central, Eastern and Nyanza regions. That means that positions of commissioners for the Rift Valley, Western, Nairobi and the Coast regions are the ones that will be advertised in the coming advertisements to ensure that the TSC has regional representation and the voice of every part of this country is represented. We also urge the Teachers Service Commission to ensure that we have the youth represented in the Commission. We are looking forward to the adverts. ...
