Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Just like my colleagues, I rise to support this Motion. Some of us who were in Nairobi in the late 1980s and early 1990s will agree with me that the transport system was very good that time. I remember the number of vehicles within the city center were very few that time. There was no need to even drive your own vehicle to town. If you wanted to go to Ngong, that is where I used to live, you could get a vehicle going through Kiserian, Kenya Bus No.145 and No.111. It was very ...

Just the other day, you sent us to a trip to Malaysia. In 1970s, Malaysia and Kenya were at par. They were at the same level of development. However, if you see what they have done in the last 50 years of their independence, it is quite different from what we have done. They have under-buses and a rail transport within the city. We took 25 minutes from the airport to the city centre, which is 50 kilometers away. In Nairobi, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is about 16 kilometers from the City centre, but one would take almost three ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to comment on what the Member for Mogotio has said. Communities bordering forests have community forester sessions. So, I want to urge forest guards to work very closely with the community forest associations instead of harassing community members. I also want to thank the Member for Mogotio for coming up with this Motion for Zero Hour. As the Member for Marakwet West, on behalf of the great people of both Marakwet East and West, I want to take this opportunity to thank the President and Deputy President for giving us a Principal ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Copyright (Amendment) Bill 2017. It is a long time since this Act was passed in 2001 and 16 years down the line, many things have happened especially in the ICT industry. Many innovations and works have changed along the way. In 2010, we passed a new Constitution and we are amending the Act to align it with the new Constitution. I specifically want to look at Section 11 which talks about computer programmes. Along the way, several systems have been written off over time. There are two major types. ...

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I rise to support the amendments by the Leader of the Majority Party. In the 11th Parliament, we passed a Bill on access to information, which is now an Act of Parliament. I know most of us who have been re-elected to the 12th Parliament is because we did well with our NG-CDF funds. We went round and even printed some booklets to tell people what we had done. Otherwise the people would not know what the Government has done. So I support.
