Thank you for giving me the opportunity to join other Members who have spoken in support of the debate on the Bill brought by Hon. Makali. This is about Members of Parliament. I do not think it has to do with anybody because we are not asking for additional money. We are using our money to ensure we lead a comfortable life after our stay in Parliament. I do not see where we are going wrong. I also appreciate that the Parliamentary Service Commission will run the money. That will give more respect to Members of Parliament. This will assure ...

respect. It is like we are asking for more money for ourselves. Everybody talks dirty about us. We do not care because we will fight out the way we fought when we came in. I support the Bill by saying it is important. It is time we agreed to look at and care for ourselves. We will have a hard time if we do not do that before we leave this House. Thank you.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the nomination of Rehema as the Chairperson of the National Gender and Equality Commission. Commissions perform a lot of good work. The problem is funding. I was the Chairperson of the Anti-Female Genital Mutilation Board (Anti-FGM). We know the commissioners are not supposed to be in their offices, but in the field. The money they are given is not enough to facilitate them to meet the people they are supposed to talk to. It is time we looked at the commissions that are supposed to promote equal opportunities for women. They ...

Ufundi Co-op Plaza in the Nairobi CBD has for several years been the subject of a vicious court battle between Ufundi Savings and Credit Co-operative Society Limited and its 14,999 members. In 2022, a three-judge bench ordered that the land and the Plaza, which are co-owned by the Sacco and the investing members, should be sold and the proceeds be shared after clearing debts owed to the Co-operative Bank of Kenya. The proceeds would be shared between the Sacco and investing members at a ratio of 58.88 per cent and 49.12 per cent, respectively. The ruling made by the court ...

dependents equally suffering. For instance, Mr Isaac Kamau Ngure of ID No.0242136, a constituent of Narok North, passed away before he could receive payment of his dues. Hon.
