On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am very eager to debate the Motion that is to be brought before us and that is why I have been sitting patiently. However, as a lawyer, I feel it is not right. Let us debate the Motion procedurally. Your ruling say:- âHon. Members, from all the foregoing, I rule that the Motion by the hon. Isaac Ruto, in its present form, is inadmissible.â So, what we have before us is inadmissible. How can we be amending what is inadmissible? So, I am very eager to debate that Motion. We ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to focus on procedure when the Constitution, which is superior states that every person has a right to life and that life must be protected by the Government? An 18-month old child was burnt, and the Assistant Minister is telling us “If” and “When”. The life of a child is not dependent on “if” and “when”. What are you doing to protect the right to lives of other children?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. So, that I can be able to contribute meaningfully to this debate, I would like to know where we are. Are we at the point where we are debating? Is there a Motion to withdraw? I am confused.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the Motion. In supporting the Motion, I want to adopt the reasoning of Ms. Amina Abdalla; I actually find her reasoning very solid except that we arrive at different conclusions. Ms. Abdalla has said that as much as possible, as a country, we should not take a partisan position. I agree with her on that. When I read this Motion, it is encouraging us to ensure that the referendum is peaceful, we seek towards peace, and that persons respect the outcome of an open and democratic referendum. Mr. Deputy Speaker, ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. Indeed, this is a very weighty day for the country and given that the Vice President and Minister for Home Affairs is here and the Prime Minister is not here, could we just have the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs giving us the Government position?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to second this Report. I want to thank the Chair for very ably moving this Report and highlighting the core issues that, as a Committee, we were confronted with. I want to say that, as the Chair has ably indicated, we visited several areas in the Rift Valley, Eastern, North Eastern and Coast provinces to get firsthand information. We also visited two countries; Ethiopia and Botswana that have embraced very modern livestock management system and it was a very big eye opener, especially for me. Botswana has turned ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know if he has had sleepless nights or dreaming. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our Committee also considered seeking means of employment for our young people. We also considered the enactment and implementation of the National Policy on Small Arms and Light Weapons and the Mifugo protocol. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also need to eliminate negative cultural practices that encourage cattle rustling. We should also encourage national cohesion and integration, so that our young people can see best examples in other areas. I would also encourage the CEO ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I heard the Minister indicate that he is going to request for more funds. For the information of this House, the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) has just done its gender audit of the work of the TJRC. One of the things that have come out is that the TJRC does not have enough resources to enable them employ qualified persons to take into account issues of sexual and gender-based crimes, especially in areas where, because of religious and other issues, there are issues which are not easily spoken of. Could the Minister consider, in ...
