Gabriel Koshal Tongoyo

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We can give the response on the first Thursday on resumption from recess. But before then, considering the seriousness of the issue, once we get the response from the Cabinet Secretary, I can transmit it to the concerned Member...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thursday.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) We can try to do so next week.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Kind of, Hon. Speaker, but for purposes of record, it was an issue of disappearance of one Gilo Guyo Boru. She has just confirmed that the matter could have been overtaken by events because the person has been found. He is healthy and strong.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you once again, Hon. Speaker. I have a response to the Request made by the Member for Saboti, Hon. Caleb Amisi, who in particular wanted a report on the status of investigation into the development and subsequent murder of Pessy Nafula and Zippora...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) There were about three questions in one, Hon. Speaker. Two of them are about defilement of minors and one is on the issue of resource allocation.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) That is why I am even trying to rush through. I can actually end there. The other one is the normal intervention and general strategies on ensuring that the issue of security has been addressed. The Response is, course, is signed by Hon. Kipchumba...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I need your guidance because I do not know whether it is a statement or a question. This is because, according to our Standing Orders, she had better frame it as a statement. 11th November 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 12

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) For Caleb, as a parent, I am equally concerned, disappointed and sad for what has happened. We should also commend the police, because the statement clearly states that the fight is with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) . The issue...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) For the joyrider, I need your guidance. She would be better off issuing a normal statement.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Maybe...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes, it is, Hon. Speaker. I request your indulgence because the Statement had been sought before we broke for recess and I responded to it. The Member indicated that he would prefer that the Committee visits the area on a fact- finding mission. We...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I am sorry for interrupting. My point of order is not related to what she is saying, but I just wanted to follow up on what the Professor had requested. Having seen the complexity of what is happening in Moyale, I request...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to pay tributes to a great leader that ever lived. I could not get an opportunity last time because of what was happening in town. Hon. Speaker, it is with profound respect and heartfelt emotion...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I am. Sorry. Yes, Hon. Umul Kheir.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Member for Marsabit County, Hon. Naomi Waqo, requested for a statement on the disappearance of Mr Galgallo Bagaja Malicha. She wanted to know the following:

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, as I indicated in the Statement, we will keep giving the family regular updates whenever we get them.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) We had spoken to him.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) If not a conclusive one, at least a preliminary one. I need your indulgence regarding the second question sought by the Member of Parliament for Nandi, Hon. Cynthia Muge. This is because, looking through it, it is requesting an inquiry. An inquiry is not...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Well guided, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I table. (Response to a Statement Tabled)

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I am asking whether it is an inquiry.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) No, I will not, but I know the Member. He has been persistent on this kind of Statement. With your indulgence, can we reschedule it for next week when he will probably be in the House?

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Once again, aware that we are going on recess, possibly next week, allow me to bring a response a week after we return.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am well guided. Just to confirm, the Committee was there about two weeks ago as part of our fact-finding mission. We visited Nandi and specifically, Tinderet. I confirm that the concern raised by the Hon. Member about some...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is written 'an inquiry.' We need to confirm with the Member. She is here. The request for a statement is here with me. It reads in part that it is against this background that, pursuant to the Standing Orders, I...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with your judgment that the two Requests for Statements were not in the Order Paper. But you are within your rights to allow them. Hon. Naomi's issue is urgent. I will give a response next Thursday.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you had already given direction, but I think it is good to note that our good Professor knows that this has been a death trap site in his Constituency and it has been an issue for too long. There was a...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new section 12A by inserting the words “including counselling” immediately after the words “wellness resources” appearing in paragraph (a) . The justification for this is that...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, these are Committee amendments to the Bill. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 3 and substituting therefor the following new clause— Amendment of section 10 of No. 30 of 2011.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I ask for two weeks to respond to her. Considering the sensitivity of the matter, as this is a case of a missing Kenyan, I would like to provide an interim response next Thursday, pending a comprehensive response in...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Member has made his statement in bad faith. We are all in this House and know how requests for statements are processed. According to our Standing Orders, a Member requests a statement, and then the Chairperson of the relevant Committee...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) No, I am merely stating that we understand that investigations can be complex. Sometimes, it is not possible to provide explicit timelines. However, I assure the Member that I will do everything possible to follow up with the ministry to ensure that the response...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, in response to the Statement sought by the Member for Isiolo County, Hon. Mumina Bonaya, regarding the disappearance of Mr Abdullahi Bonso Abdi. The Member sought to be informed on the following:

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support what the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has said. As I mentioned earlier, we all know that there would be a difference if the statement were reframed as a Question. This is because she will have...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I will respond to the question one week upon resumption from recess. But Hon. Temporary Speaker, the issue of operationalisation of several units across the country has been extensively addressed by the Cabinet Secretary on several occasions ― that all of it is a...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you have well put it, the question keeps coming up on the Floor of this House every other time. I want to say that as the Cabinet Secretary informed the House the last time he was here, there...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We will provide a response within the first week after the recess.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I am well guided.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Given the seriousness of the matter, and considering that this is a Kenyan who has gone missing – I know that we are going for recess

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I want to congratulate the Member for Gilgil, Hon. Martha, for coming up with this progressive and important piece of legislation. As she has put it, every Kenyan has the right to a birth and a...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I appreciate and thank Members who have contributed to this debate. Again, I assure the House and the country that we have no doubt these are the best-qualified Kenyans to steer the long-awaited reforms in the NPS. We got that, at least, from the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) It is the gadgets. I am actually winding up. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Committee recommends that the National Assembly approve the nomination of the following as the chairperson and Member of the National Police Service Commission—

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) What is happening?

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Special Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security in its report on the Approval Hearing of Nominees for Appointment as the Chairperson and Member of the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support your position. In addition to the response being tabled this morning by my Vice-Chairman, the issue was well prosecuted by the Cabinet Secretary on the Floor of the House yesterday.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) The Cabinet Secretary is listening as well.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will take advantage of the presence of the Cabinet Secretary, who I am sure has heard the request. Maybe we can process a preliminary response and present it on Tuesday. We will present a more comprehensive one after we come back...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Bowen’s issue has been sorted. I request your indulgence. A Petition was written to this House by two petitioners from Narok County.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) That is why you saw me consulting with the Clerks-at-the-Table.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Mine is not a question, neither do I want to help the very able Cabinet Secretary. I just want to bring to the attention of the House that, already, there is a Bill in this House that has been sponsored...
