Keynan Wehliye Adan

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) In all this, we must also ask the NG-CDF fund managers and the people who deal with the NG-CDF to manage it in the most accountable and transparent manner. That is the only way we can also be accountable. I urge those tasked with running...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I comment on the audit report on the NG-CDF, allow me to delve a bit back into the history of this great nation. This country was once called the British East Africa Company in the early 1880s. That was...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a House of traditions. That is why it is called the august House. The Member has made a number of un-substantiated allegations against individual Members of Parliament, the 13th Parliament, and everybody else. As a human being, I may...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Bill contains an array of tax proposals that affect different tax laws. The intention is to give the Government the legal force to collect taxes to finance the Budget. Ordinarily, this Bill has gone through all the legislative stages that...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in any civilised democracy is an interface. In our context, it is the interface between Kenya and the outside world. This diaspora State Department has proudly evolved from a diaspora desk and a diaspora directorate....

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I really appreciate the response by the Chairperson, most of the answers he has given are futuristic. This person has been missing since March 30th, 2024. He has alluded to the fact that there are many people who will still...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs is the interface between Kenya and the outside world. However, before I make my informed contribution on this, let me invoke the provision of the Standing Order and declare that two of the nominees,...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, we are talking about arbitrary arrest and disappearance. I thought my good friend, Hon. Rasso, who is a distinguished Member of this House and our patron, will be the first person to say he will submit a report within the shortest time...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (C) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the disappearance of a prominent elder from my constituency...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. On the face of it, this is a very good Bill. It ought to have come a long time ago, pursuant to the enactment of the current Constitution. I congratulate the Chairman, Hon. Peter Lochakapong, and his team, for...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the Hon. Opiyo Wandayi to mislead Kenyans when Page 10 of the Report clearly says that the Prime Minister of Haiti with the concurrence of the Council of Ministers addressed a letter to the UN...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the Hon. Opiyo Wandayi to mislead Kenyans when Page 10 of the Report clearly says that the Prime Minister of Haiti with the concurrence of the Council of Ministers addressed a letter to the UN...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I commend Hon. Millie Odhiambo, who is my Chair for the Parliamentarians for Global Action-Kenya Chapter, for being forthright and courageous in demystifying the very emotive subject that is an abomination even to talk about in some African contexts. You have given...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Constitutionalism and adherence to the rule of law are very expensive. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I remember this law was introduced towards the tail end of Kibaki’s presidency. It was immediately after the promulgation of the Constitution 2010 and before the general election in 2013. First...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to thank the Chairman of the Select Committee on the NG-CDF, the indomitable Hon. Sirma, the great legal mind of Hon. Chepkonga and the cohorts that took time to sift through the NG-CDF Act in order to come...
