Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I know there are Members who expect me to say other things. I said “in that dress and even another”. I know what Hon. Kagombe expected me to say.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I give notice, you know you quickly dismissed that point of order by Hon. Sunkuli. I was going to object to that point of order on the basis that he has used the word “more”. He said that the Hon....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, many of us, I included, are on TikTok, unashamedly. My Deputy Whip here also says she is on TikTok. There is nothing criminal or evil about being on TikTok. I am also on Snapchat. My teenage daughters are on all these apps. They...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you have said, the Petition is well in the House and the petitioner, Mr Ndolo, is well within his rights. But Hon. Speaker, as you read the Petition, I noticed that Hon. Njeri Maina was actually on TikTok. (Laughter)

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am laughing because there are Members who are asking me to donate a minute to them. I do not know whether they will now respond to the issues on my behalf. It is, indeed, true that this matter was of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your indulgence. I commend Hon. Chepkonga for seeking this extension. I would just like to caution Members because Hon.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was engaging with Hon. Pukose and that almost slipped through. Indeed, 90 days is a very long time. Maybe, we can allow them 45 days maximum for them to engage all the stakeholders. Ninety days will take us to the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker. I am sorry to raise this now. You noticed when you were up on your feet, there were Members who were standing and canvassing very loudly. I also noticed that last week. We are now making the National Assembly look like a village...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, as leaders whether from Kiambu or Luo-Nyanza, we must take responsibility. I like what Hon.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know we are a House of rules. Maybe, you could ask Hon. Atandi to take his seat so that we become orderly. Standing Order 107A (1) is on gross disorderly conduct. Just for the record, I may read for Hon. Atandi....

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you Hon. Speaker. Let me thank the Minority Whip because I am sure in as much as he was not in the House, he was watching the number of people who contributed to this debate. We still have another chance to debate during the...
