Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Please put the question, Hon. Deputy Speaker!

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We just want to interrogate the Statement. I have a few concerns. First, as a National Assembly, we should sit back and understand what is going on. I am seated with some Members of the Departmental Committee on Health, and...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Deputy Speaker, if Members of the Departmental Committee on Health are saying that the Statement their Chairman has read to this House is not representative of the views of Members of the Committee, then why are we discussing it in the first place? Is...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Give me five minutes, then we proceed.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank my leader and brother, Hon. Mbui, for bringing this very important Motion that affects our children, who are our future. We have a problem. I lead a rural constituency that has about 110 schools. Out...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Millie is one of the outstanding debaters in this House. She is a person I have admired for very many years even before I joined this House. She is a friend I have known for some time and we share common...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) . I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations regarding the disparities in the recruitment by the Kenya...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Indeed, Hon. Baya is my partner in crime. We do so many things together. That thing affects very many Members. I am seated with Hon. Kibagendi here and he confirms that a majority of the people who were recruited in his constituency were not from...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) I said, “my brother in Christ” because we fellowship together in the same church. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : I ask the Clerks-at-the-Table to check whether you said, “brother in crime”. Would you like to withdraw if you said that? Hon. Wanami...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) I withdraw because he is indeed my brother-in-Christ.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) My point, Hon. Temporary Speaker, is that this affects almost every constituency. My brother-in-Christ, please, ensure that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Defence. Intelligence and Foreign Relations gives us a comprehensive answer. Two weeks after recess is agreeable.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also have two notices. I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the second Report of the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education on its consideration of the Report of the Auditor-General on the...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Speaker, I beg to second. Indeed, we have a lot of crucial business in the House to conclude, bearing in mind that we had to break early in the last part of the Session. We are postponing recess by one week so that the...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I will start by encouraging my colleagues that our role, as Members of Parliament, is oversight. We oversee as a House but not part of us. It is really sickening when some Members think...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Forgive him and let us proceed. We have business that is more important to this House. Kenyans are watching us. Let us rest the matter. Ahsante sana, Mhe. Spika.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, it is regrettable what has been going around. However, I congratulate the honourable Member for being a gentleman and apologising. We have more important business to work on. To my brother, Hon. Ruku, more atrocities have been committed in this...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. From the onset, I oppose the Finance Bill for the very reason that we are of the people who have spoken. Over time, Kenyans are losing their cool day by day. As we witnessed on Tuesday, Kenyans, especially...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, first I want to congratulate the Committee under the able leadership of the Chairperson, who is my friend, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro, for the good work they have done. The Ministry of Defence should be prudent and fair to every region and constituency...
