Mugambi Murwithania Rindikiri

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is an emotive issue. We are agreeing to the mediated version that the county governments should not coerce this National Assembly and the national Government to agree to other sidekicks as they claim with the issue of NG-CDF....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) This is a very important amendment by Prof. Oundo. One of the biggest problems we are experiencing right now in this sector is when unqualified people get to the office, and they are supposed to deliberate very sensitive matters. They represent very many farmers, and...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I join my colleagues in supporting this Report. Just like my colleagues have said, it is high time we understood the difference between the national Government and county governments. Why do I say so? On a daily...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) : Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. That machine needs to be looked at. I stand to comment on the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya. His Excellency the President demonstrated leadership. A good leader always listens...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Member has gone back again to her argument. She is bringing up the same matter. We do not manage the NG-CDF. She is completely out of Order. I wish she could listen to Hon. Millie Odhiambo. Please listen to Hon. Millie...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. I really appreciate the focus of the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health. However, there are some clarifications that Kenyans need to be told. On

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is a month since the process started. The numbers are not that big. We must tell Kenyans the truth because people think that the Government is not working. The Government is working, but something is not right at the...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Chairperson should clarify who will cover the costs for the officers and their locations. He has provided the contact information, but we need clarification on who is responsible for the costs and where these officers are based.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the issue of gazettement of hardship areas came up sometime this year and the Speaker ruled that it is emotive because almost every constituency had raised the same issue of being gazetted as a hardship area. I am sure that my memory...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I come from an agricultural constituency where we grow largescale flowers and horticultural products for export. Meru and Kirinyaga are among the highest counties with registered high levels of cases of cancer. Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary spoke about carrying out...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you. I really want to congratulate the Cabinet Secretary because I think he has come out well in trying to answer what the Government is doing to enhance the performance of agriculture and also considering the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) of our economy....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Could the Ministry, please, look at the element of seeds and seedlings for crops and even grass for animal feed?

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This Bill, short as it is, is addressing a very important function and responsibility of KRA in terms of the development of a curriculum in consultation with other institutions. I agree with the function in the proposed new sub-section (2B)...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, since you are the sitting Speaker, you have an obligation to inform the Speaker who will be on the Chair on Monday to alter the Calendar for that day. I do not believe it is the responsibility of the Chairperson per se....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) This Bill is important to an extent that the activities of that day can be amended by the House Business Committee to accommodate it. In as much as the Chief Whip wants to inform me, he is part and parcel of the House Business Committee...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) It is very unfortunate, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) It is very unfortunate that we have a dad, husband, Member of Parliament and a brother bringing that kind of allegation. I am an old man, not by age but by wisdom. I urge my very good friend, Hon. Bady, to maintain the dignity of...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not have much but I must commend the Committee for finding it good that we go through this process of arbitration and coming up with a compromise on the way forward. It is true that land is very emotive and...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The matter at hand is very critical in the running of the corporate institutions of this country. At the outset, I support the amendment that has been brought forward. I am more concerned with the performance of State corporations, but...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very emotive issue. I oppose this Motion. I also want to join my colleagues who have clearly stated that it was not introduced with the correct evidence of how we should do it. This Motion was brought...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As a country we need to support scientific research. We are known for science-based innovations and advanced information systems. A lot of research has been done to that effect and that is why Kenya is recognised as a centre for...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As articulated by our Chairman, matters of land in our country are very emotive. We have had many challenges in the management of land in this country. We have so much land and yet, many conflicts are associated with it....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a critical topic for discussion in this country. As it is right now, the situation may look like a few are getting while others are not. But, we must not lose sight of some historical factors that have...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Report which requires the attention of all Members of this House. It has raised very weighty issues that are touching on various factors like mismanagement, investigations, audit and regional issues. To give this Report justice,...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) It is on lack of quorum, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very substantive Report.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It has become fashionable that in every financial year, a new circular is issued from the Kenya Roads Board. I wonder why the Kenya Roads Board does this when there is a system that is already agreed upon. This matter came...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) No, Hon. Speaker. I just wanted…

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Speaker, cases of drug and substance abuse are on the rise, particularly among our youths in schools. Hon. Mwale's request for statement is timely. It is a serious problem whose solution needs to be fast-tracked. We need more information from every region. I agree...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) No. I will contribute to the next business.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. This Bill is coming at the right time when the Kenya Kwanza Government, and now the Broad-Based Government, agrees on certain things that need to be done to fast- track the economic growth of this country. The...

Hon. Rindikiri Mugambi (Buuri, UDA) Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I identify myself with the Report of the Committee and ask this House to approve the candidature of Mr. Douglas Kanja Kirocho. I have looked at the Report and its structure or presentation has captured all the...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I remember when the Principal Secretary appeared, I asked that the Ministry supply us with or submit the data on the funding per band for each constituency. I did that because almost 90 per cent of the students from my constituency...
