Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you know Hon. Mulyungi knows I am good in my language. Therefore, I do not need to insinuate anything. I made a Statement detailing how many constituencies had their lists approved, which is 283. Seven are yet to submit their lists, with the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. John Mbadi has mentioned me and the people of Kikuyu who are very dear to me. Besides that, I was in the office listening to the contribution by Hon. John Mbadi, which is laden with a lot of misleading information. I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I qualified as an accountant when I was a student at the University of Nairobi in 1996. Hon. John Mbadi was then a junior accountant at the students’ welfare placed next to Hall 9. As a junior officer, he was not qualified. He qualified later.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) More importantly, Hon.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we must be careful with the words we use. Hon. Mbadi has thrice used the term “ungodly days.” I do not know what those ungodly days are, but I would just like to mention that it is precisely because of that that we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you are well informed to guide Hon. Opiyo Wandayi. He has gone to the extent of disparaging the proceedings before the Committee in the pretext that he is laying grounds on the question of the time sought.
