Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I know Hon. Bowen Kangogo’s son was sitting for his KCPE and he has done extremely well.

Order, Hon. Sunkuyia. Hon. Kimani Ichungw’ah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Kangogo and Hon. Sunkuyia are being very bad examples to younger Members. They have been here long enough to know that these microphones pick up everything they converse in vernacular behind the person speaking. It is only fair...

Hon. Kimani Ichungw’ah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. In fact, the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee has already made the point I wanted to make regarding what the Member for Nyando was saying. There is nothing untoward we are doing in rejecting all these amendments. The...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is a point of order. I truly hope that the person seeking the point of order can indicate the Standing Order she is rising on. (Laughter)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I did not know Hon. Dorice Donya is a journalist. She knows that I have tremendous respect for journalists, but I meant that particular radio presenter is financially illiterate. It is a fact. I know him because he is from...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What Hon. Opiyo Wandayi has said of there being a case in court is, indeed, true. That is in the public domain. Everyone who follows what happens in the courts will know that there is such a case before a...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Minority Party has asked us to challenge him. It is important to state facts in line with our Standing Orders. He is clearly misleading and misinterpreting the Constitution. If you read Article 240 (8) of the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, Senior Counsel Otiende Amollo referred to me saying that, “When I become a liar.” I do not intend to become a liar. (Laughter) 16th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 8 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)someone is talking about lawyers or liars. There...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you. I had hoped you would direct the Hon. Nyikal to the Table Office up here in Room 8 because there are adequate copies with annexures. I have a Report that was tabled with annexures. If his Personal Assistant photocopied without the annexures, you...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was saying that I have no desire of being a liar.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Liars always intend on reading the law in the way it favours them. That is what they do as liars. Therefore, because I am not a liar, I read the Constitution as an accountant who is able to read English and interpret the Constitution as...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have tremendous respect for lawyers. Our pronunciation differs. The other day I was having tea with my good friend, Hon. TJ Kajwang’ and he spoke to me about a sip. I was wondering what sip that was and because we were...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am sorry for disrupting my sister. I rise under Standing Order 106 on irrelevance and repetition. I have listened to Hon. Rozaah Buyu repeat herself continuously on issues to do with Sondu. When I look at the Motion before the House,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know, besides being my colleague on the other side, Hon. Wandayi is also my friend. He knows I know Ugunja, the County of Siaya and I know the intermarriages between the great people of Luopean nation and those of the house...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) She now seeks to speak to the gallery with many irrelevances about Sondu and other areas. I just beg that we be relevant in line with Standing Order 106 and restrict ourselves to the issue of Haiti, and not Sondu, Kikuyu, Baringo or other areas.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I was saying that Ksh145 billion is going to service debt. Those who are pontificating about how good they are in fighting for Kenyans on the cost of living are never honest enough to tell Kenyans that the huge burden of public debt that we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, how do we allocate Ksh200 million to research on monkeys? That Institute is not researching on UHC for human beings. How do you remove Ksh200 million from UHC to go and research on monkeys? There is a Cabinet Secretary who told us...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Ruku although he is stretching his luck. He wants to abrogate himself the responsibility of the Speaker to allocate who starts. He is a good man. I rise to support this Motion on the first Supplementary Estimates...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is the usual Thursday Statement. Hon.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, without exception, allow me to thank all the Members who have contributed.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. As indicated by the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, this is to allow us to consider the Committee of Supply. As I had indicated earlier, the Committee of Supply is the Committee of the whole House during...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Sharing of resources is always very emotional. You must understand it. We are all here 16th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 72 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)representing constituencies which have unique needs. We all deserve national resources like everyone else.That...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is good that you have protected me from the Member for Dagoretti South as I beg to second.
