Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I second the Bill with just a small rider that the formula used for county allocations is something that the 12th Parliament will have to deal with. Counties like my own of Nyeri are concerned about the formula that is used but, so far, the Bill covers many of the aspects that are supposed to be covered. I second.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Thank you, Chairman Musyimi for the Bill and the compromise that has been reached. I also want to use this opportunity to thank the people of Nyeri for giving me the opportunity to serve in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I support it.

We are all hoping that as the 11th Parliament comes to an end, all of us are appealing to come back to the House to be able to continue with the work that has been started. The Level 5 hospitals, as you can see in the mediated version of the Bill, get Kshs4.2 billion. That money should go to hospitals directly. There is no reason for that allocation to go to county governments. The 12th Parliament will need to deal with that matter. I second, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join the Members who have thanked you and the leadership of this House. I have been a follower of some of the international associations that Parliament belongs to such as the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. I also thank the Leader of the Majority Party and the Majority Party Whip, Hon. Katoo, who has been a good friend to me. He helped me when I came in as a first-time Member. I thank the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA). These are Members with whom we have shared the journey on the two-thirds gender rule. The journey ...

Parliament, we hope that county Members of Parliament traverse wider areas. As we look at facilitation of Members, there might be need to look at the issue of those who cover more than one constituency. I want to thank the people of Nyeri for having represented them here successfully on many of the fronts that I have covered especially on health, education, water and the National Government Affirmative Action Fund. I want to appeal to the people of Nyeri to retain me as their Mama County and women’s representative because there is still more work to be done on coffee ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice on the adoption of this Report about the Duty Free Shops at the JKIA and Mombasa International Airport. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have noted correctly that some of these Reports should attract a little more attention from Members than they have done today. It is true many questions and cases have been raised and the Government has lost a lot of money from the duty free shops. I join my colleague Hon. Sabina Wanjiru in requesting that we follow other international best practices as ...

we have no way of selling them from Nyeri because we do not have an airstrip where large planes can land. Many of these measures might apply to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Moi International Airport for now but I think the Report will be useful as the country develops and we look at expanding the airstrips and airports that we will have. I support the Report.
