Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to contribute on the judgement on NG-CDF. We cannot over-emphasise the importance of the NG-CDF in our constituencies. There is this notion among many people that NG-CDF is pocket change for Members of Parliament. Without fear or favour,...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Give me one minute, please. There is a position of a cabinet secretary that has not been filled in this country. I wish to remind the Executive, just in case they have forgotten, that we do not have the Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture,...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his detailed report. I must say that having listened to him and having looked at the report, it looks like he self-critiqued more. I thank you also, Hon. Speaker, for the Kamukunji because it...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Speaker, on a different matter than verification. Having listened to the Cabinet Secretary, it is clear we are still on a free mode. The students have been allowed to school as the Ministry continues to sort out these issues. At what point can...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I also do rise to support the appointment of the Nominee, Mr Kanja, for the position of Inspector-General of Police. I speak as someone who has worked closely with him when he was in charge of the GSU. He is the one...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you. I take that as a compliment, and maybe in the next life… I rise to support the consideration of the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bill No.19 of 2024) . We are debating this matter when, as a country, we have...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Speaker, on 24th of last month, I requested a statement regarding challenges facing the new higher education funding model, on which you directed the Chairperson of the Committee on Education and Research to respond in two weeks’ time. The two-weeks deadline lapsed last...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) On a point of order.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I was going to rise on a point of order, that since I have the statement for question 2, it is quite a lengthy response. These are things I can read and keep the Ministry to account. The important parts would be...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not think Kenyans are in a position to understand what exactly is going on with the higher education model. The response is a good one, only if it works or is implemented correctly. This happens with anything new...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) In so many words. I was trying to get the word. Has this been piloted and if yes, what has been the response so far? Secondly, how will a child, for example, in the remote areas of Nyiro in Samburu, ensure that they apply...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) I do not want to speak after your ruling, but I have some work at the constituency tomorrow and Thursday. I will allow Hon. Chairman to continue with the Members and then I will get the response. I want to ask one question which...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You had earlier on mentioned that I am a Senior Counsel, and I was seeing Hon. Njeri looking at me wondering when I became one.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not want to belabour on the points that Hon. Members have already talked about. One of them is what Hon. Makilap said, that the cabinet secretaries who will be approved by this House, will not be serving their...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I will be sitting in the Committee on Appointments. I believe Members can discuss the matter and issue a Statement.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. 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 Education and Research regarding the application of the New Higher Education Funding Model. On 3rd May...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you.

Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education on its examination of the reports of the Auditor-General on the financial statements of State corporations (Nyanza Region)...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I reply to the debate on this Bill, I want to thank each and every Member who contributed. Their input is valuable to the improvement of this Bill. I had written a long list of Members who contributed but I...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I can see the Hon. Member from Trans-Nzoia County communicating to me using sign language. I will give him and Hon. Oluoch two minutes each.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the entire Committee for putting in many hours to ensure we have the Supplementary Estimates I presented in this House by the...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Much obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Well directed.

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. There were arguments that if we ask private institutions to remunerate the interns, they may decide to not give them opportunities to learn and they might not be in a position to engage the interns. That is not the...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. There was a directive and a policy in 2013. Interns who were recruited to the Public Service would be given a stipend. Having thought about it, this is just a directive. It depends on the goodwill of the government...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to continue moving the Public Service Internship Bill of 2022. I started by explaining the import of coming up with this Bill. The essence of the Bill is to establish a legal framework for...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also join my colleagues in supporting the Equalisation Fund Appropriation (No.2) Bill as tabled by the Vice-Chair, Hon Emaase, of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I just want to point out some issues regarding the Equalisation Fund. We...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I just wanted to say that even as we raise our issues of the different counties and constituencies that we come from, we should do it appreciating the diversity of our country and the different challenges that we face...

Hon. Naisula Lesuuda (Samburu West, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Hon. Junet needs to know that the North Rift needs a lot of money for security.
