Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to speak about two forms of discrimination by TSC. First, there is the stagnation of teachers at the level of Deputy Principal or Deputy Headteacher. We are seeing a trend where TSC conducts promotions in some counties while discriminating...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Yes, we now have the substantive Chairperson. Hon. Speaker Is he in the House? Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Yes, Hon. Tonui.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am a Member of the Parliamentary Caucus on Drugs and Substance Abuse, and I have had the privilege of visiting Mauritius. What you have just said is exactly what I saw live. There are some streets where treatment is being...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. There are two issues of concern. First is the issue raised by Hon. Kandie. We appreciate his positive comments because the Committee has continued to emphasise adherence to the National Building Code and strict conformity to approved plans. Regarding the...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you. The reason I rose is because I border Laikipia East and Ngobit is what we call an extension of our community in Laikipia. I want to take this opportunity to welcome all the students. I want to tell them that this is the...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I have a concern. Looking at what comprises the research unit, I wonder why the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) has been left out, considering that we are dealing with a very serious issue regarding pests, for example. It...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Firstly, the world is moving towards faster information transmission. We are advised to stay connected. Agriculture is not an independent sector. It involves manufacturing, trading and other sectors. Therefore, the introduction of technology will be helpful. Secondly, we want to...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support the amendment because extension services should be linked to research and the farmers. That was missing from the original Bill. Therefore, this amendment will be helpful. We should focus on the farmers who cannot be reached without extension services. We...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) For the first time, I really want to commend this Committee because from where this Bill originated, they seemed to have left out a very important part. I applaud the Committee for taking keen interest. One of the things I have noticed here is the...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) The reason why I rose is that I come from a large-scale farming community. I think this Bill has really answered one of our prayers: that the farming community, particularly large-scale farmers, be allowed to be part of a body like this. Secondly, professionals, particularly...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, Daktari was very clever. Yes. As I said, I come from an agricultural Constituency and we practise large-scale farming in Meru. That is why I was very keen on matters relating to pests and whether a Bill is coming on that. I...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to)

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have listened to the debate and I am a very disturbed legislator. What I have heard is completely out of the debate which has been presented by the Committee. On pages 24 to 26, the Committee has made observations...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Chairlady, this is a State Department that is doing an incredible job by trying to open up the diaspora. You know this has not happened in a long time. The State Department is charged with creation of jobs in the diaspora through networking with...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Chairlady, this Vote is very important. As you know, I come from a region where livestock keeping and dairy farming are major economic activities. Today, a lot is being done in the livestock sector through veterinary services, artificial insemination and the provision of animal...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri UDA) Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I concur. However, the most important point to note is that we are preparing a generation that is embracing technology. Technology is the way forward. We are striving to eliminate technological illiteracy and nurture a population of young people who can...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I have a lot of interest because I appreciate the Government, especially the State Department for Cooperatives. Where I come from, in Buuri and larger Meru. This State Department does an incredible job in the growth of coffee, tea, miraa and macadamia....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) I ride on what is happening in the Vote and particularly, on the Senate. There is money appropriated through the National Assembly and the State Department of Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works. That is money that normally comes from the donors particularly the Kenya...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Chairlady. Sometimes when we rise up to speak here, we should not do it for the public gallery. That is because we have seen KDF do many things. As I speak, Meru Level 5 Hospital is being upgraded to Level...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Yes, Hon. Chairlady. What the Hon. Member has stated is true. There are ongoing projects and at the same time we are focusing on new projects to fill gaps in constituencies and counties that are not yet covered. We have had extensive discussions with the...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Housing is also causing an indirect spiral economic improvement programme, particularly in manufacturing and transport, among others. Those who are playing down the concept of housing do not understand it. We have over 790 ongoing housing projects. Many counties or...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important annual programme. We all need time to explain it to Kenyans, because I believe we are not talking to ourselves; we are talking to Kenyans. I join my colleagues in applauding the successful presentation by...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this report and state that the Vatican is a very important nation in its own right, being the centre of the Catholic faith on earth. To qualify to be there, someone needs strong negotiation skills. I notice that Dr...
