This is the problem. The Leader of the Minority Party came late. Hon. Members, it is fair that when you make your comments, it must be about this Bill, whose main intention, as I have told you, as spelt out in the memorandum of objects and reasons, is to increase the penalty for people convicted of engaging in certain acts of corruption and that is all. It has two clauses. This is the Bill by Hon. Nyoro. We are not going to deal with what is in his head. We are dealing with that which has been published. I do ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for granting me an opportunity to also add my voice to this very deserving Motion. First of all, I want to congratulate the Mover, my colleague, Hon. George Gitonga Murugara who also happens to have been my classmate at the university. We have to be very honest and candid to ourselves because as a nation we have been very unfair to village elders. In Kisii village elders are notoriously referred to as ‘abatureti’ because of the role they play is extremely critical. If you want any information regarding any member of the village where ...

doorsteps to register their complaints and concerns when they are aggrieved. They work throughout the day and late into the night but at the end of the day, we do not take into account how they survive as members of our society. Even the manner they dress, if you look at them, is extremely undeserving. They also help us in identifying widows and orphans. They deal with land disputes and reconciliation among warring factions. So, they play such a pivotal role that they are remunerated. I urge that we remunerate them. With that, I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to also contribute to this very critical Motion. First and foremost, I want to congratulate His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya and the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga for their handshake. I am sure that, that is a good gesture for this country. I also want to congratulate the President for apologising as the sitting President and offering a reconciliatory tone to the people of Kenya. We have come from a very gruelling electioneering period, a period that has seen our country become politically divided. With ...

matters that will not help develop this country. I would agree with one of the speakers that we want to see this reconciliation moving forward to reconcile all the involved stakeholders. We do not expect to see a scenario where some people are being elevated while at the same time we have people who have participated in ensuring that this country remains together. Therefore, as we welcome the reconciliation, our main focus should be on the serious and salient issues that are bedevilling this country. One, I had anticipated to see a serious address on the issue of the ravaging ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. It is clear and it is a matter of common notoriety that water is life. When we say that water is life, the truth of the matter is that our country enjoys a lot of water throughout the year. When you go out of this country to other jurisdictions, you realise that many countries do not have water. What do we do with the water that we have? It is sad that when we are blessed with the resource called water, we ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to also address this very important matter of national importance. Cancer has become a real problem in this country. I rise to support this Motion on the following grounds: Firstly, cancer has killed very many of our most critical persons. If you see the number of people dying on a daily basis, if you see the kind of harambee funds that Members of Parliament raise on a daily basis for cancer patients to be taken to India and these other developed democracies, it is very high. It is, therefore, ...

Yes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to also contribute to this extremely noble Bill that is before the House. As you have rightfully said, my name is Shadrack Mose, Member of Parliament for Kitutu Masaba and a Member of this Committee. First and foremost, I know I am addressing this House after coming out of an election petition and, therefore, I want to thank my people of Kitutu Masaba and the Hon. Judge of the Court that dismissed the petition that was filed against me. I will, therefore, proceed to make my contribution. This ...
