I urge my colleagues that we are faced with two or three options here. As Hon. Duale has said, we either approve, reject or approve with reservations. As a Committee, we have gone through that Agreement by toothpick. We have checked every single item, and we assure the House that the drafting, the text and everything is for the benefit of the people of Kenya.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, questions have been raised on the issue of reporting. Clauses 15 and 16 of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act provides for reporting. Likewise, the council of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the Republic of Kenya and the UK as provided for in the Agreement provides for reporting.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the people of the great Constituency of Funyula, I take this opportunity to congratulate you for your coronation as an elder of Njuri-Ncheke .

Kenya is one undivided country, and we should not descend to partisan and tribal cocoons that do not support the ideals of the people of Kenya. I hope and pray that ...

I hope those who go roaming in other Members’ constituencies will also do the same. It is ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You are safe enough. I will not call you Madam Speaker Sir. I stand to support the County Statutory Instruments Bill (Senate Bill No.21 of 2018). As a Member of the Committee that scrutinised the Bill, I fully concur with my Chair and colleagues who have spoken before me. Allow me to make two or three comments. First, this Bill emanated from the Senate in pursuant to their mandate given under Article 96(2), where they are allowed to participate in law-making functions that affect the counties. This particular Statutory Instruments Bill specifically deals with ...
