Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the issue being raised by the Leader of the Minority Party can seemingly be a very legitimate matter, if the purported circular… Hon. Junet said that he saw it in the streets of Nairobi. I did not see it there. I had...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) As I was saying, let us allow our officers as many young Kenyans wait to join our forces, be it the police service or military. As leaders, we must be in the forefront showing patriotism, support, encouragement and pray for them as they go to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for that response to the Member for Mbeere North. He knows that I have tremendous respect for him because he has cut out his image as a very diligent Member of Parliament. Indeed, he is 3rd October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 40 (2) , as we discussed in the House Business Committee (HBC) , I wish to request you to reorder business appearing as Order No.15 to become Order No.16 and business appearing as Order No.16 to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think you got a little mixed-up. The request was after we dispose Order No.14, then you rearrange Order No.15, so that Order No.16 takes its place.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 60 of 2022) be now read a Second Time.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) There is nothing out of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was moving on the EACC. 3rd October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 17

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You know Hon. Jared Okello is fond of such interruptions. I commend you because this is how you should conduct business in the House. That, when a Member seeks to stand on a point of order, they must say the...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Mulyungi is my friend so I do not take offence when he uses me as an example. However, to say that I have immense powers to direct EACC, when he knows I was just verifying here that EACC is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon Speaker. I do not have much to add because the law is the law. Articles 94, 95 and 96 of the Constitution have been clearly articulated by Hon. Chepkonga. As much as there is the Statutory Instruments Act, nobody, including cabinet secretaries,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I do not know whether the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) is under his Ministry. I heard what Hon. Sarah Korere said with reservations because I am certain that military bases do not train militia. They train our military whom we respect...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) It would be unfair to profile communities based on their numbers. People who come from where Hon. Junet and Hon. Farah originally come from are endeavouring to increase their numbers. While I have one wife and only two children, some of them have up to...
