Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to also take this opportunity to welcome back all the Members to the House after the short, but long working recess. I would also like to thank the Members because many of them were very active in committees, both...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will beg your indulgence because I had engaged the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning last week and he indicated they are in the process of working on both disbursements for the counties and the NG-CDF. However,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I appreciate Hon. Jared Okello’s attempt. However, he knows that the Leader of Majority Party is a constitutional office with an office. These theatrics are unnecessary in the House. I want to request that you rule him out of order. If he...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to reply to the Motion. As you mentioned, we have, indeed, interacted with this Motion for the better part of this Session. We even went ahead to amend the Standing Orders. That is why in the last three weeks...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I was congratulating you for having interpreted these Standing Orders and appreciating you were not a Member nor the Speaker of this House when we enacted these Standings Orders in the last Parliament. As you said, Standing Order 20A (4) is quite clear...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I still have some nostalgia, Hon. Speaker. I am nostalgic about Jubilee Party because we had great plans for this country. I had hoped that you would communicate that you recognise Jubilee Party as a distinct Parliamentary Party in your ruling which qualifies under the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I would like to ask our colleagues in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to be as gracious as we have been. Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya Coalition Party, I pray and hope that you will resolve the issues that are within your Coalition so...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me begin by congratulating you for that Solomonic ruling. Hon. Speaker, it is clear that in as much as you were not in this House when we enacted the Standing Orders… I can allow those walking out to do so...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You know when you read out the Communication about the Prayer Breakfast, many Members around me were doubting those prayers because of the inclusion of Hon. Chepkong’a. (Laughter) Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (a) , I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 2nd May 2023 to prioritise the business for consideration during the week. I wish...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for that reminder. May I just include as you have stated. On resumption on 6th June 2023, on Wednesday, 7th June 2023, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Hon. Ezekiel Machogu, will appear to answer to the questions that were left pending...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me commend Hon. Walter Owino for raising that issue because it is, indeed, true.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Jared Okello is the Member for Nyando. You know, Hon. Speaker, Nyando is a constituency that is very close to my heart. Their former Member of Parliament, Hon. Fred Outa, was a very good friend of mine. I have had occasion to visit Nyando Constituency...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I was saying I want to avoid the route taken by my colleagues in ODM by celebrating my withdrawal of security. I am also saying that, as much as we are entitled to security… I remember that time they told us: “You are secure. And...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) That is why I went out of my way yesterday, together with the Leader of the Majority Party in the Senate, to call for sobriety. Yesterday, I said that we bend backwards to accommodate our colleagues so that we can continue to engage with each...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Now that all these Hon. Members are not protesting with other people out there, I want to request… I am sure that by now they likely have their security officers. This is because one of them told me that their security had been withdrawn, and...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I noticed that when you introduced students from Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Hon. Babu Owino whom I know is a young man, when we were cheering in the House… (Loud consultations)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) This is a House of order and decorum. I rose on a point of order because I noticed something that is uncalled for by Hon. Babu Owino. It is a fact that he is a young man and a parliamentarian. He ought to be an...
