Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Under the NG-CDF Act of 2015, we had an Oversight Committee where a Member of Parliament could be a member or designate members of the public to sit in that committee. It will now not be possible for a Member of Parliament to sit in...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by thanking the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party and the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party for moving and seconding this Bill on my behalf and the Leader of the Minority Party respectively. As stated, the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me begin by thanking all the Members who have contributed. As I sat in the office listening to the contributions, I could tell many of the Members are eager to have this Bill enacted to become an Act of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I could raise the issue that Hon. Baya wanted to raise. It is nothing out of order. It is only that the Mover of the Motion that follows this one left earlier. Therefore, we request that you stand down the next Order....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I issued a cautionary statement to Uhuru Kenyatta and his family when people invaded Uhuru Kenyatta's land last year. (Hon. Mark Mwenje spoke off the record) Hon. Mwenje reminds me it was this year. The other day, you heard the Chairman of Mungiki asking his...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was seeking to guide my brother, Hon. Kirima. He said he does not desire to be informed and is completely out of order. The debate before us is about the land in Mavoko, and not KU and Kamae. That is because...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) It is extremely out of order for the Hon. Member to be misleading the House and, indeed, the country because that is what makes everybody feel that there is unfairness. This is because even the people of Mavoko could sit and negotiate with EAPC as...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) To clarify, I have bought land in Nairobi on a certificate. However, I knew the certificate was not a title; it did not confer ownership to me. We went and negotiated with the owner of the land in Embakasi. Hon. Kivasu Nzioka is here, and...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) You know I once said something about her hair. Now, do not make me say something about your teeth.

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Robert Mbui, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi and the Member for Mavoko sat with me in this House during the last “handshake” regime when, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government mobilised tractors on a cold, rainy night to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, firstly, allow me to thank you. As they said in 2009 when Speaker Marende made his Solomonic ruling on the issue of Leader of Government Business, your ruling also ranks among those that are informed by Solomonic wisdom. (Applause)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)It is not unprintable.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker. I will also restrain myself from commenting on the rumbling letter by Hon. Jeremiah Kioni. As you have noted, he is a former Member of this House. He ought to address the Office of the Speaker and any Member of this House with...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I can hear Hon. Keynan claim that they are now 27 Members. I do not know because I am a former Member of the Jubilee Party. There are 21 or 27 Members of the Jubilee Party who subscribe to the leadership of Hon. Sabina Chege...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Insurance (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.18 of 2023) be now read a Third Time. I also request honourable mwalimu of Kibra to second.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I hope she is well advised. Let me say that the Member of Parliament for Mavoko started his contribution very well, but he finished it in a very unfortunate manner by attempting to disparage Members of Parliament who represent their...
