Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As we have this standalone legislation, which the Constitution empowers us as legislators to enact, so that it would provide for the conduct of a referendum, the kind of legislation that should be brought here is one that is simple, clear and straightforward. It should provide a chance to the Kenyans who would want to express themselves without delving into a lot of the legal intricacies. This is so that issues that are raised take into account special interest groups like people living with disabilities. The Committee that dealt with this and IEBC were ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity also, on my own behalf and that of my family and the people of Kitutu Masaba, to pass my condolences to the family of the late John Oroo Oyioka of Bonchari. Hon. Oyioka was an extremely humble and amiable person. When I come to Senator Yusuf Haji, he is an icon. He has left a track record in this country. May their souls rest in eternal peace. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.012/2021 to the Cabinet Secretary for Education. (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide an updated list of all applications for registration of primary and secondary schools in Kitutu Masaba Constituency for the last five years, specifying the successful ones and the reasons for the unregistered ones? (ii) What measures is the Ministry pursuing to ensure a structured and efficient registration process to avoid inconveniencing learners, parents and stakeholders such as school sponsors in view of the fact that a registration certificate is a prerequisite for accessing National Government – Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to also pass my condolences, those of my family and of the people of Kitutu Masaba, following the untimely demise of this great son of Kisii. Simeon is an icon. Simeon Nyachae was a great leader not only of the Kisii community, but one who transcended boundaries and jurisdictions and became an international character. The late Simeon Nyachae was a great disciplinarian. I recollect when we were at the university, Nyachae’s name was all over the place. Indeed, Nyachae was one of those leaders that we, as young university students then, ...

my colleague here, Millie, will tell you that experience matters because even in the Law Society of Kenya, we have left leadership to young people and they have given us lots of problems. I support the ten years’ experience.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to associate myself with Hon. Omulele. If we leave it like this, we will be leaving it floating. We need to operationalise it at the end of the day. The amendment the Chair seeks to do away with will actually render null and void what we have been dealing with.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson. Listening very carefully to this, there is something that has always been a serious problem when we are dealing with corporate entities. In most cases, directors or boards of directors hide behind the corporate veil, as my learned friend Hon. Omulele has said. So, if we can, at this stage, caution the directors that: “Look! You are not going to hide behind the corporate face so that you do something very cautiously and intentionally, but you go and say that it is the company that did that.” If we can fashion this so that ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also add my voice to this very important Report. I support it. Indeed, this is an extremely timely occasion for not only dealing with this Report, but also to ensure that we are moving a step further to implement the same. We are in a country with very good reports and they are important to the country but, in a number of occasions, we deliberate on them and it ends there. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ...

We have a country that is endowed with youth who are extremely talented and vibrant. But if you go to the countryside, you will be shocked. Many of the stadia that are supposed to be constructed to ensure that the youth are able to exploit their talents are in deplorable conditions. For example, Manga Stadium in my constituency of Kitutu Masaba was started three years ago or earlier. All that was done was walling. In fact, many of the people from the community are asking why a lot of resources were invested in the stadium and all they can see ...
