Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have considered this amendment although, of late, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning has been in the spotlight for bringing amendments that are not friendly to Kenyans. Trusts in the past have done well. Some have been misused. Some trustees have not been transparent or honest with beneficiaries. I agree with Hon. Passaris that it is true some beneficiaries are left out or struck off the beneficiary lists. This amendment allows a person to establish a trust while he or she is alive. That is one of the best amendments I have ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to join my colleagues in congratulating Hon. Ghati. When I look at her, she reminds me that all able- bodied persons in this House are potential candidates of being PWDs. Her nature and stature are that of a serious debater. I know how she articulates issues. I have no doubt in my mind that she is going to do a great job at the Commonwealth. I am sure she is going to initiate legislation that is going to assist all PWDs. I wish her all the best. Congratulations. I know she is a great ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources regarding the imminent health and environmental disaster posed by a damaged section of sewerage system along Mombasa Road, in particular an area marked as KM2+090-3+000 along the Nairobi Expressway. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the 27.1 kilometre Nairobi Expressway Project was commissioned in October 2019 and begins from Mlolongo through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) junction and Nairobi’s Central Business District to Westlands area along Waiyaki Way. ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank you for that Petition. I wish to confirm to this House that we will look at any Petition that enriches the sporting activities in this country with a lot of interest, particularly, like the one of Hon. Sankok. Hon. Sankok, I assure you that the Paralympics will be highlighted all over and my Committee Members will be there to receive the team and even accompany them with a team from my Committee to show how much we value and are interested in them. We will look at that Petition accordingly and give it the ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Yusuf Hassan, Member for Kamukunji, for bringing this important Petition to this Parliament. Prof. Wangari Maathai had many firsts. One of them was maintaining the greenery that we see in this country. Every Kenyan remembers how Prof. Maathai fought for Uhuru Park. I agree with Members that Karura Forest be named after Prof. Maathai. Had everybody listened and adhered to Prof. Maathai’s advice, maybe, we would not be having climatic changes in this world. I join Hon. Hassan in supporting this Petition. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ...

However, Hon. Speaker, I just wanted to find out: I have heard Hon. Yusuf Hassan say that it should be committed to the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture, Heritage and Tourism. I was of the feeling that it is more of environment and natural resources. According to how you are going to rule, maybe, it can be committed to a joint committee, that is, my Committee and the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources so that we can give the desires of his request. I thank you.

Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended by inserting the word “public” immediately after the word “other” appearing in paragraph (b). Hon. Chairman, this is for the purpose of distinguishing the Kenya National Library Service from other public libraries in the country.

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I hear Hon. Millie. If we admit her amendments, we will be describing something which is not in existence, namely, something on which the Speaker has ruled.
