Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the proposer of the amendment should have dropped the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and retained the one for the Public Service Commission (PSC). I oppose the amendment.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank God for the opportunity that he has given me to serve the great people of Elgeyo Marakwet County. I also thank the people of Elgeyo Marakwet County for giving me the same opportunity, my campaigners, my competitors and all who participated in the by-elections of 5th January, 2023. There are many things and pledges that I made to the people of Elgeyo Marakwet County. The Members who have spoken said that Sen. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki and Sen. Murkomen, who are now Cabinet Secretaries, were here. I promise that I ...

I promised to do many other things, including setting up a new university in that county. The Arror and Kimwarer dams were suspended because of political issues. We have fluorspar and other minerals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of the business before the House, I do not want to spend a lot of time. However, I promise you that I will be very active. I believe the leadership of the House is also planning to put me in relevant Committees, especially in those where I have expertise and those that will mainly target counties. As you have said, this House is ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to make my comments. First, we make laws for posterity and it is good that this particular law has come at the beginning of the term of this Parliament because if it comes towards the campaign period, the temperatures are usually very high. I believe that we will debate soberly and agree on issues. On the Public Service Commission (PSC) nominee, the PSC is the expert in terms of human resource issues in the country. I believe that it is very important that we get a nominee from the PSC in that selection ...

eventually appoint people to the IEBC like the four who almost burnt the country. It is important to get persons of integrity who will interview and vet properly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the one position for the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), I believe it is important that we have two so that the Minority Side produces one and the Majority Side produces one. The LSK are not very important here because even in the laws that we passed in the National Assembly in the last Parliament, they said everywhere that you must have a lawyer. Why can we not remove ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security for the response, but this is the usual way that the Ministry responds. They are telling us that vetting of the NPRs is going on, yet that is what we were told three months ago. I do not know how long it takes to review someone’s conduct. It does not take three months for you to receive a Certificate of Good Conduct after you apply for it. It takes two to five days before you get it. I do not know why it ...

Hon. Speaker, we have said that we cannot blame the messenger. I am requesting that you use your authority to compel the CS to appear before the Committee next week on Tuesday so that I can go and meet him. It has taken three months to do the vetting of NPRs, and people are dying every week. Yesterday, we lost two! Last week we lost more. Hon. Bowen’s constituency is under attack as we speak now! Empathise and sympathise with us, and compel the CS to appear before the Committee next week.
