Hon. Members, we compared ourselves with other countries, but I would not like to mention the countries. When we compare ourselves, we have a chance to thank our President for the guidance that he has given this country. He has made our leaders and the people of this country to follow the COVID-19 protocols. He tells everyone who cares to listen that we should take care of ourselves, each other and the country. From the outset, I am proud of the President of the Republic of Kenya. I am proud when I compare him with other presidents and what they ...

I agree with this Motion. It is important that we know that we are in unprecedented times. We need to take quick actions as this House is taking this afternoon. As the Leader of the Majority Party has said, committees of this House will continue meeting. The oversight role of our committees is not interfered with. If there are Questions, Statements and any Petitions that will come, we will handle them within the timelines as the Leader of the Majority Party has explained.

I would like to also thank the Executive, starting with the President of this country, for taking the COVID-19 jab. I took it earlier. The day that I went to take it, there was no queue. I went straight and got it. However, after the President, Cabinet Secretaries and other leaders took the jab, I found a queue this morning at the place the vaccination is being given. It was extremely important for the President to lead. I would like to thank him, the CSs and the leaders in this House who took the jab and made it clear that ...

As I say this, I would like to agree with the other colleagues who said earlier that we need to care about businesses that have been lost in this country. We need to care about our people who feed from the work they do every day. It is important for the concerned committees to consider them. I do not know whether the Budget and Appropriations Committee is working on a second Supplementary Budget. We also have the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning or whichever committee that is concerned. There are people in this country who are unable to ...

As Hon. Junet has said, it is terrible to imagine that any Kenyan, whether a leader or not, becomes sick and he or she is not unable to get oxygen. It is important for the CS for Health to ensure that we have oxygen because that is extremely important. We do not have ICU beds. We should find a way of ensuring that this is done.

I would like to thank you for the guidance you have given us this afternoon. I would also like to not only thank you and the other Members who have shown that this House is independent, but also for the care you have shown and the guidance on the need for us to know that we are not immune or ring-fenced from COVID-19. You have guided the House in the right direction that we need to adjourn.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. The community members from where I come from are not able to tell whether what the animals are suffering from is Foot and Mouth Disease or another bacterial or viral infection. What has been reported to our offices is that animals have symptoms that have not been very common within the area of Ukambani where I come from. The animals have blisters in the mouth and also on the foot. So, this is an important matter that needs to be taken seriously bearing in mind that these animals are ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the compliments. Before I respond to Hon. Sabina Chege, I would like to congratulate you for the new role that you got. We have so much faith in you. You have taken care of this House in the 11th Parliament and 12th Parliament and I would like to say, from where I sit, that you are equal to the challenge. Let me go to the matter that has been raised by Hon. Sabina Chege. The Departmental Committee on Lands took this matter seriously. We met the Hon. Member, the petitioners, KTDA and the National Land ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like, first of all, to congratulate the Chair for providing a very clear response to Hon. Osotsi and for going beyond the question and letting the House know what is going on. The 1.6 million licences to boda boda operators is not a mean achievement. But I would like to request the Chair, as he engages the Ministry, to push trainings to the constituency level. That way, we will be able to reach out to more people and ensure that there is proper distribution. I am just thinking of my The electronic version ...
