National Assembly · Afternoon Sitting

Hon. Members, we have four Commissioners from this House, two from the Senate, and two non-Member Commissioners. They will all attend the Kamukunji so that you can ask them about any issues related to staff welfare, Members' welfare, or any other issues you may wish to raise, except what Hon. Kandie is saying. Thank you, Hon. Members. Let us move to the Next Order.

(National Assembly Bill No. 9 of 2024)

(Senate Bill No. 39 of 2023)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In the spirit of the discussion we started, and looking at the import of this Bill, the position is that we have had a robust discussion, agreements, and consent has been entered to withdraw the Court case. Hon. Speaker, regarding this Order, I implore you and the Members to allow the Mover to reply so we can move to the Committee of the whole House. Anyone with issues to…

Hon. Members, I will allow the House to decide. Mover.

[(Question, that the Mover be now called upon to reply, put and agreed to)]

Hon. Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank you and the leadership of the House for helping us resolve the issues that surrounded the passing of this Bill. In passing this Bill, the House has done much justice to Kenyans. This Bill will allocate Ksh42 billion from donors, in the form of loans and grants, to run programmes in the health, water and sanitation, and agricultural sectors. These are…

[(Several Members stood along the gangways)]

Order, Hon. Members. Take your seats. Hon. Members, after putting the Question at Order 15, we will go straight to the Committee of the whole House on the same Bill listed at Order 16. Thereafter, the House will go back to Orders 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. I know Hon. Kitayama has a Petition. After that, we will go back to Order 17. Hon. Members, I will now put the Question to Order 15.

Hon Members, we are in the Committee of the whole House to consider the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2025) Clause 5 THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended—

[(Clauses 3 and 4 agreed to)]

There is a proposed amendment by the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee.

Hon. Chairlady, I would like to stand down the proposed amendment. The amendment was supposed to remove from the Estimates about Ksh523 million, which was earmarked for constructing five county headquarters. Hon. Chairlady, I have since received instructions from the National Treasury confirming that that money is available, and therefore, there is no need for the amendment. .

[(Proposed amendment by Hon. Samuel Atandi withdrawn)]

[(Clause 5 agreed to)]

[(Clauses 6, 7 and 8 agreed to)]

First Schedule. THAT, the First Schedule to the Bill be deleted and replaced with the following new Schedule—

Conditional Additional Allocations to County Governments from National Government’s Share of Revenue in FY 2024/25 (Kenya Shillings)

There is an amendment. Go on record.

Hon. Chairlady, I equally withdraw the amendment with the same reasoning that National Treasury Planning has confirmed availability of funds. Thank you. Second and Third Schedules

[(Proposed Amendment by Hon. Samuel Atandi withdrawn)]

[(First Schedule agreed to)]

Could you confirm on record that there is no amendment?

Hon Chairlady, I confirm that there is none.

Okay. Clause 2

[(Second and Third Schedules agreed to)]

Confirm that there is no amendment.

Hon. Chairlady, there is no amendment.

Thank you. Clause 1

[(Clause 2 agreed to)]

Chairperson, Budget and Appropriations Committee, confirm there is no amendment.

Hon. Chairlady, I confirm there is no amendment.

Thank you. Mover? Hon. Atandi?

[(Clause 1 agreed to)]

Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2025) and its approval thereof without amendments.

[(Question put and agreed to)]

[(The House resumed)]

Very well. The Chairlady.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bill No. 1 of 2025) and approved the same without amendments. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you. Mover.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I request Hon. Junet Mohamed to second the Motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second.

[(Question proposed)]

Put the Question.

Very well, Hon. Members. The mood in the House is that I put the Question.

[(Question put and agreed to)]

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bill No. 1 of 2025) be now read a Third Time. I also request Hon. (Dr) Pukose to second.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I stand to second a Third Reading of the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bill No. 1 of 2025) .

[(Question proposed)]

Put the Question.

Thank you, Hon. Members. I have confirmed that the House is properly constituted for the purpose of making this decision. I, therefore, put the Question.

[(Question put and agreed)]

[(The Bill was accordingly read a Third Time and passed)]

Is Hon. Kitayama in the House?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (a) , I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 22nd April 2025, to prioritise business for consideration during the week. With regard to business scheduled for Tuesday next week, the House is expected to consider the following Bills at various stages…

Hon. Martha Wangari.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. On Tuesday, I requested a Statement on gambling, specifically the Aviator game of chance, and the Speaker ruled that it should be brought to the Floor of the House today. It is not listed in the Order Paper. You can give some guidance. We are scheduled for recess next week, and it is very urgent that we discuss that matter.

Very well, Hon. Martha. I vividly remember you asking for that particular Statement. Is the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning in the House? I cannot see him in his usual place. Any member of the Committee? Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, you need to undertake to remind the Chair of the Committee to bring a response to the request by Hon. Martha on Tuesday.

Much obliged.

What is your point of order, Hon. Mwenje?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I refer to the Statement just read by the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party. Two weeks ago, we raised some fundamental issues here that needed to be responded to by the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport. We expected to have him yesterday, but he did not show up. The explanation we got was that he is in China. Next week, being the last week before we pro…

You have made your point quite clear. Very well put. While sitting in his place, the substantive Speaker indicated that the Cabinet Secretary was out of the country, and he may appear before the House next week. The Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, could you comment on that?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have heard from Hon. Mwenje about this matter. This is the second time he has raised the issue. As you said, the substantive Speaker gave reasons why the Cabinet Secretary could not appear last Wednesday. However, I undertake to ensure that we get communication from his office. By

Tuesday, we will inform you if he will appear on Wednesday. I would also like him to appear alongside the Prime Cabinet Secretary on Wednesday. The issues of the Prime Cabinet Secretary are not many; they are just a few items. It is possible to have the two Cabinet Secretaries appear on Wednesday. I undertake that we will make arrangements to have the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport be i…

I further add that in the interest of all the Members, you make an undertaking as you have indicated that he appears alongside the Prime Cabinet Secretary. Matters concerning roads greatly concern every Member. Thank you. Let us go to the next Statement by the Hon. Joseph Gitari, Member of Parliament for Kirinyaga Central.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to request a statement regarding the Operationalisation of the Inoi Division in Kirinyaga County. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the operationalisation of Inoi Division in Kirinyaga County. Inoi was…

Very well. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security. Go ahead.

[(Hon. Ali Raso rose in his place)]

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have heard what Hon. Gitari is seeking. Last week, when Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, appeared before the House, he addressed himself to that issue. Additionally, he appeared before the Committee on Tuesday. He gave us an undertaking to provide a comprehensive list of all pending cases of sub-…

Very well.

[(Hon. Timothy Kipchumba rose in his place)]

Go ahead.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I wish to thank Hon. Gitari for raising that substantive issue. The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration should take the issue of the operationalisation of administrative units in this country seriously. This issue is not only in Kirinyaga but across the country. I call upon the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration and the Departm…

Order! There is no need to second a Statement. I have been a religious follower of this matter. As Hon. Raso explained, when the Cabinet Secretary was here, he made an undertaking that is now in progress. The sentiments you are putting across were put across the same day, but we thank you for them. Hon. Raso, note those statements. We told the Cabinet Secretary to undertake that and bring a list. …

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. The Member of Parliament for Marakwet was in the House when the Cabinet Secretary said he needed Ksh2.5 billion to operationalise every administrative unit that has been gazetted. So the onus is on us. If we are ready to give him the money, the administrative units that have been gazetted will be operationalised. For that reason, Hon. Gitari’s S…

Very well. Hon. Farah Yakub.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the status of security measures in Fafi Constituency, Garissa County, following a recent attack by suspected Al-Shabaab militants. It is with profound concern that I report the tragic loss of s…

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the Member has made a substantive request. His constituency borders our neighbouring country and is under a serious security threat. Although we will share the Statement with the Ministry, I ask him also to engage the Committee. We need to make an effort to visit the region to help out and brief the House accordingly.

So, how long?

Immediately after the recess.

Very well. The next Statement is by Hon. Adagala, but she wrote to the Speaker. Therefore, this request for a Statement is held in abeyance. Next is Hon. Mayaka. Order, Hon. Mayaka. I have been informed that Hon. Adagala instructed Hon. Bartoo to present the statement on her behalf. Before we get to you, Hon. Mayaka, let us have Hon. Bartoo on behalf of Hon. Adagala.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to welcome the students from Kapseret Constituency, in Uasin Gishu County, on behalf of the Member of Parliament, Hon. Oscar Sudi, who is away on official duty.

[(Laughter)]

Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy on the following:

Hon. Temporary Speaker, we will respond to this once we resume after recess.

Very well. What is it, Hon. Member?

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I came up with the same question and was informed that it would be on the Floor today. Hon. Gikaria must take the replies to this House seriously.

Hon. Member, this is a Statement, not a Question.

My concern is regarding the response. He stated that he would reply after we returned from recess. Many people depend on power in Ngong, Rongai, and Kiserian to operate their barbershops, salons, and other businesses. These businesses are closing down due to continuous maintenance issues and are experiencing outages up to three days a week. We cannot wait for a response after recess; we need an an…

Order, Hon. Member. It is only proper that we give the chairperson ample time to prepare. I therefore instruct Hon. Gikaria…

[(Loud consultations)]

This is not the first time that issues related to power outages and blackouts have been raised in this House. We have brought Statements and asked Questions, yet we are always told to wait for a week, a month, or even three weeks. The Committee meets every Tuesday and Thursday to discuss the same questions.

Hon. Gikaria, as the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy, I asked a Question regarding Silanga, where we have been experiencing power issues. The transformers brought on the ground cannot sustain the community. When we talk of last-mile connections, some people have not experienced them; we do not even know how far the mile is. Therefore, Hon. Gikaria, we need you to provide answe…

You have made your point.

On a point of order.

What is your point of order, Hon. Millie?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Members are raising substantive issues regarding transformers. We recently learned that some of the transformers purchased are defective. I know something is being done about this. However, something as basic as a tree falling and power going out from yesterday morning has not been addressed. I called to report the outage, and we still have no power. Is this just…

Very well. I think Members have many serious concerns. Just take your place. Hon. Lesuuda made another Request for a Statement concerning power. Let us hear her on it, possibly to cover some of the Members' interests. Then, I can make a ruling. Proceed, Hon. Lesuuda. Go directly to your Request for a Statement.

Thank you. Listening to my colleagues, I wish electricity bills were delayed and cheaper. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request a Statement from the Departmental Committee on Energy Chairperson regarding persistent power outage in Samburu West Constituency, including Maralal Town. Samburu West Constituency, particularly Maralal Town, has been experiencing repeat…

Hon. Gikaria, speak generally about the interest that your Committee is already raising in the House.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with the concerns of Members regarding power outages in the country. This morning, I signed a letter to visit Roysambu and Ruaraka constituencies, where there are many live transformers, so that we could understand the problem. Is it the transformers? Secondly, I want Hon. Members to understand that trees fall during rainy seasons. Remember, there was a …

When are you bringing the Statement?

Tuesday is a very short period. To be honest, we will bring responses if we are given time after the recess.

Hon. Members, I want you to indulge Hon. Gikaria. Remember, he is the new Chairman of that Committee. I am also affected just like you are. Hon. Gikaria, immediately after recess, bring those replies and all others that Members of Parliament may speak to you about. You see the interest. Two, Leadership in the House has to organise to bring the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Petro…

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding the transfer of funds collected through the Electronic Travel Authorisation System (eTA) system to foreign banks. The eTA system was implemented with effect from 1st January 2024 in …

infants and children – except citizens of the East African Community (EAC) – intending to travel to the Republic of Kenya, are required to have an approved eTA before the start of their journeys. The Cabinet approved the introduction of the Treasury Single Account (TSA), a unified structure of Government bank accounts for consolidating Government cash resources into a single account or a set of li…

Where is the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning? Leadership, do you undertake that the reply will be brought to the House?

Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Please undertake that the reply to that request for a Statement will be brought to the House immediately after recess.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will do that.

Next is Hon. Joshua Kandie.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife regarding rampant cases of snake bites in Baringo County. Baringo County harbours around 38 out of the 171 snake species found in Kenya. Five of these snakes are highly poisonous: black mamba, red spitting cobra,…

Information System reported that from January 2022 to July 2022, there were 254 documented cases. Recently, on 3rd July 2024, the late Mr Amos Cheburet Kimeres, who was in good health and going on with his daily activities at home, was fatally bitten by a poisonous snake. Despite being rushed immediately to Kabarnet Referral Hospital, he unfortunately succumbed to the poisonous snake bite while u…

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Very well. Before the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife Chairperson responds, let me listen to a point of order from the Deputy Speaker.

It is a point of information, and other Members can help us. I assume that keeping data on various illnesses and injuries falls under the health function, which is devolved. The County Executive Committee (CEC) member in charge of health in Baringo County should address the prevalent attacks that exist. That is where the point of contact should be.

Very well. Is the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife in the House? Is the Vice-Chairperson or a Member of this Committee in the House?

Yes.

You can undertake on behalf of your Committee. Proceed.

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Committee, I believe we can execute the matter during the recess and hopefully bring the reply once we come back, given the available time between now and when we are going for recess. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

You can or you will bring the reply?

We will bring the reply.

Thank you. That is now more proper. The next Statement is by Hon. Amos Mwago.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding collapsed bridges in Ngara and Landimawe wards within Starehe Constituency. Section 10 (2) of the Kenya Roads Act (Cap. 408) provides that the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) is responsible f…

Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We will avail a response in the next three weeks.

Did you say three weeks?

No. Two weeks after recess.

Very well. Hon. Mwago.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I urge the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure to try to fast-track the immediate solutions. Currently, we are experiencing heavy rainfall in the Starehe Constituency. The lack of these bridges inhibits movement. If you seek a temporary solution to help people cross the bridges now, it will be appropriate. But two weeks after the recess, w…

Very well, Hon. Mwago. You are quite objective. Therefore, the Chairperson should bring the Statement immediately after recess, given that school-going children are affected. The next request for a Statement is by Hon. Amina Mnyazi.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of

the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding aircraft safety at Malindi International Airport. On 10th January 2025, an aircraft registration No. 5Y-CDC, operated by the Kenya Aeronautical College, was involved in a tragic crash two kilometres from Malindi International Airport. It resulted in the loss of three lives, injuries to three others and extensive damage to the ai…

Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, we shall bring a response two weeks after recess.

You have enough time, so bring it immediately after recess. Committees should work.

That is correct. No problem.

The next request for a Statement is by Hon. Jose. Is that Jose or Joseph?

Josses.

Proceed, Hon. Josses.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the upgrading of the Eldoret-Kapsabet-Chavakali Road (C39) .

The Eldoret-Kapsabet-Chavakali Road (C39) is an important transport route facilitating regional connectivity by linking Uasin Gishu, Nandi and Vihiga counties, and further linking to Kakamega, Bungoma, Kisumu and Siaya counties. Notably, the road boosts agriculture and trade by connecting markets in Eldoret City, Mosoriot, Chepterit, Kapsabet, Chepsonoi, Cheptulu, Mudete, Chavakali and Shamakhoho,…

Thank you, Hon. Josses Lelmengit of Emgwen. Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure, remember that this road serves me, and I am seriously affected by what Hon. Josses is talking about. Proceed, Chairperson.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, we will respond after recess.

It is okay. We can even give you two weeks after recess on this one because we want a comprehensive answer. Please, Hon. Josses, accept that the comprehensive response will come two weeks after recess because this road has interfered with the connectivity between Eldoret, Kapsabet and Vihiga. The Member for Aldai is also an interested party. Let us move to responses to requests for statements. We…

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Cabinet Secretary responded to the Statements sought by Hon. Kakai Bisau and Hon. Hussein Barre of Tarbaj on Tuesday. The responses were comprehensive, and my colleagues were satisfied. I have two other statements which were not responded to, one by Hon. Amina Dika, the Member for Tana River County, and the second one by the Member for Nyeri County, Hon. Rah…

Hon. Kakai Bisau, is that the correct position?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We met the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration and the Principal Secretary, and they addressed the question. However, as per my request for a Statement, the affected Bukhala family, which lost their daughter, has not been getting frequent updates. They need to be frequently updated, and the Cabinet Secretary agreed that that will be done. T…

Very well. Hon. Ali Raso, you may proceed to give a response to a Statement sought by Hon. Amina Dika. Is she in the House?

Yes, she is in the House.

Very well. Proceed.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Member of Parliament for Tana River County, Hon. Amina Dika, requested a Statement on the disappearance of Abdullahi Ahmed Mohamed of ID No. 42848612, a resident of Ngumu Village, Tana River County. The Member particularly sought to be informed on:

Public Prosecutions (DPP), and as of now, the file has not been returned to the police for action. The case is pending before the court. I beg to respond.

Hon. Amina Dika.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I find the ministry's response unsatisfactory and lacking in seriousness because Mr. Abdullahi disappeared six months ago, in October 2024. I am surprised that obtaining a vehicle’s registration or proof of ownership can take over six months. Hon. Ali Raso, I would also like to know when you expect to receive the registration details from NTSA, because six month…

Hon. Ali Raso.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We mulled over this issue of registration, and it is true that some people can operate with fake number plates or fabricate them. That could be the difficulty with NTSA. However, we will not stop at that. We will demand answers from NTSA on what they are doing and the cause of the delay. On the second issue raised by the Member, I believe the DPP canno…

Very well. You are aware that these matters are not brought here in vain. Therefore, you should take a further undertaking on when you will bring that extra progress report to Hon. Amina Dika.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe we are well guided on that matter. As committees, we do not take it for granted that Members ask questions and that the responses brought here are frivolous. We will go the full mile to establish the issues that are missing. Thank you.

Thank you. You may proceed to also give a response to a Statement sought by Hon. Rahab Mukami, Member for Nyeri County.

[[The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Omboko Milemba) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) took the Chair]]

Hon. Mbui, are you dealing with this?

Yes. Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion: That this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Prevention of Terrorism (Amendment) Regulations, 2024, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 17th April 2025, and pursuant to the provisions of section 18 of the Statutory Instruments Act, Cap 2A annuls in entirety the Prev…

[(Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Prevention, Suppression and Disruption of Proliferation Financing)]

[(Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on the Prevention, Suppression and Disruption of Proliferation Financing)]

These regulations are similar to those we have just addressed in the previous Motion. The problems we faced with the two regulations are similar. This is because almost every law passed on the Floor of the House allows the implementer of the law, in most cases, government ministries and departments, some authority to also make regulations or guidelines. So, they can fully implement the law because…

We beg the House to agree with the Committee and annul to allow the Ministry to go back to the drawing board and correct these errors as quickly as possible. They can then present proper regulations for us to pass. With those few remarks, I beg to move and request Hon. Charles Onchoke, Member of Parliament for Bonchari, to second. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Onchoke.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to second the Motion to adopt the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on the Consideration of the Prevention of Terrorism (Amendment) Regulations, 2024 I second. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Makali Mulu.

[(Implementation of The United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Prevention, Suppression and Disruption of Proliferation Financing)]

[(Question proposed)]

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Very briefly, I agree the Committee. It has made a very interesting observation. As a House, this is something we need to be very careful with. When I listen to the mover, Hon. Mbui, make his remarks, he mentions that there have been cases where regulation-making authorities are making laws instead on focusing on the existing laws. Procedurally, regulations are …

Thank you. Hon. (Dr) Oundo, do you want to contribute to this matter?

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am not contributing to this.

Okay, let us hear from Hon. Melly, who wishes to contribute.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the annulment of these regulations. I agree with the mover, Hon. Mbui, that the State must ensure we adhere to the Constitution. These regulations have flouted the laws of the land, including the Statutory Instruments Act, among other essential elements that we, as a House, need to uphold. The power of this House lies in legislation. However, as we delega…

Looking at the Terrorism Bill, the rights and privileges of the citizens are trumped upon. There are instances where our country adopts foreign rules and regulations that cannot be effectively implemented here. Therefore, the work of the Committee on Delegated Legislation is commendable, and I support the annulment in its entirety. On that note, it is important that all Government agencies ensure…

Hon. Members, since there is no further interest in this matter, I will defer putting the question to the next time it is scheduled in the Order Paper. Next Order.

[(Putting of the Question deferred)]
