Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Our society is becoming insane because, a long time ago, our parents used to take care of their parents and grandparents, but we of this generation do not really care about the old members of our families. Evidence shows that the abuse of the older persons has been on the rise in Kenya with the most common form of abuse being physical. For instance, there are stories of old people being declared witches and being burnt to death. The The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ...

elderly are also often victims of theft and are sometimes forcefully stripped of their properties like land and domestic animals. For that reason, the object of this Bill is to establish instruments and laws which will possibly take care of the elderly.

Such violations will be easily addressed as long as information of their nature is documented. This Bill describes the mandate of the national and county governments with respect to older ...

Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I stand to support this Motion because the coffee sector is an important economic activity in Kenya in terms of income generation, employment and foreign exchange earnings. In spite of being the backbone of the economy, Kenya’s coffee has been depreciating over time. As cited in the Committee Report, the depreciation is due to poor research capacity, management and inadequate financial support. The ailing Coffee Research Institute, for instance, conducted a meaningful extensive research in the 1980s which led to the introduction of the ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise in support of the Adjournment Motion to discuss the locust invasion in the country. The ongoing invasion of millions of locusts in parts of the country is causing terrible destruction and massive land degradation, damaging rangelands, croplands and most families are losing their livelihoods. Experts have warned that East African countries should brace themselves for a second round of invasion by the desert locusts in the next two months since the swarm of locusts which had spread to seven East African countries have been laying eggs along ...

This will ensure there is prospective project handling and compensations where there are unforeseen losses. Farmers have been exploited and it is necessary to organise them on a common ground in order to increase their bargaining power.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the stakeholders’ submissions, especially the former Parliamentarians Association of Kenya, it is evident that majority of the Members who served the nation with dignity are living in abject poverty.
