Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to take this opportunity not to bid farewell but to wish all Members of this House all the best as they embark on their campaigns. Hopefully, we will see many of you back in this House after 9th August...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Apologies, Hon. Speaker. I have no card, and I want to support that Motion although under the circumstances, I would have been inclined to oppose it. I must also commend the Leader of Majority Party because there is a time a rumour was flying around...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. You have rightly read out the Standing Orders, on a Member proposing an amendment to a Committee Report. He is not a Member of that Committee because I have gone through the list of membership, to see if...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.83; and maybe ask Hon. Kanini Kega to relax, because it is not on the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. I know he never wanted me to speak about the expenditure...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Speaker, I beg to second the Procedural Motion. I commend the Leader of the Majority Party because even from London, he watched the important business that we transacted up to midnight. (Hon. Moses Lessonet consulted loudly)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to oppose this particular Motion. I understand what the Leader of Majority Party is saying. I know where the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee sits in this. The issue of public debt is not an issue that...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Asante, Mheshimiwa Spika. Naomba pia nichangie ripoti hiyo kwa lugha ya Kiswahili, kwa sababu Mheshimiwa John Paul amechangia kwa lugha hiyo. Ni dhahiri kuwa shida ya wakulima wa miraa si shida haswa, kama tunavyojua sisi sote. Kiini cha matatizo ya wakulima wa miraa ni soko...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Sijui ni nini kinawawasha wengine, kwa sababu naongea kuhusu mambo ya Katiba. Katiba yetu inasema kuwa hakuna Waziri anayefaa kuwa akifanya siasa.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Mheshimiwa Spika, namheshimu sana Kiranja Mkuu wa Chama cha Jubilee. Sijui kama kweli anaielewa Katiba anayoizungumzia. Jukumu langu kuu kama Mbunge wa Kikuyu ni kuhakikisha kuwa utekelezaji wa kazi za Serikali na mawaziri unafanyika kwa mujibu wa Katiba. Waziri Munya siye Mungu ambaye hatuwezi kumjadili....

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Amedhihirisha kuwa magendo yanafanyika, kwa sababu hizo ndizo shida ambazo tunajadili. Soko limefungwa na anadai kuwa merikebu zavuka kupeleka miraa, ilhali msimamo wa Serikali ni kuwa bado wanajadiliana mambo ya kufungua boda.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Mhe. Spika, na kubaliana kabisa na ndugu yangu anayewania kiti cha Gavana wa Mombasa. Namtakia kila la heri. Lakini nafikiri hakunisikiza vizuri. Hii ni kwa sababu hoja yangu ilikuwa juu ya waziri ambaye ameteuliwa. Yule aliyemteua amempatia mamlaka yote ya kutekeleza yale anayowaambia watu kwenye...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) They think this is a Motion.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) I am seconding you.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) I second.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I also rise to support this particular amendment. It is very progressive. As the ranking Member for Garissa Township has said, it is also in pursuit of the Fair Administrative Action Act, whose provisions in terms of fair administrative processes...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I had proposed to delete this amendment. However, I had consultations with Hon. Chair. I have also considered the issue that she has just raised on indexation. I wish she has a very firm commitment with the National Treasury...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) I rise to support, especially on the question of global warming and greenhouse emissions. But on the second bit, the Chair did not speak to it in respect of companies operating shipping business. I had hoped to hear what that is all about because that...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also rise to vehemently oppose. I indicated and that is why I sought clarification, because this is preferential, as the wording in that particular provision goes. It is preferential not to Kenyans, but to a select a group of Kenyans....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The amendment by the Chair and mine are quite similar, therefore, I support and consequently withdraw mine since we are basically looking at the same thing, which is reducing VAT to 8 per cent. It is cognisant of the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Do they use gas? The Temporary Deputy Chairman (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Hon. Duale, Member for Garissa Township. (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu spoke off record) Member for Kibwezi East, whatever he said was not captured.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Member for Molo.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me first support the amendment by Hon. Wanga. As Hon. Duale has said, we, indeed, doubted that she and the Committee meant well. We thought they would hoodwink Kenyans. We were very keen on ensuring that, indeed, the cost of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If you allow me, before I move that amendment, to consult with the Chair for one second because I think we had similar amendments on this one. The Temporary Deputy Chairman (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Please do. Hon. Kimani...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 31 and substituting therefor the following new clause- June 2, 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 159 Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP)Amendment of section 10 of No 23 of

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I was consulting with the legal officer. I was told that it is done every October. For that reason, which is only three months to come, it will occasion a loss in revenue for this particular year. As I said, I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP)That is called bottom-up.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. In 2015, I moved the Alcoholic Drinks (Amendment) Bill, which sought to give remission on Excise duty on beer, especially the sorghum beer called Senator Keg. At that time, many people in Central Kenya, Nairobi and environs had been...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Yes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, clause 35 of the Bill be amended by deleting the proposed paragraph 15. Mine is on 15 which relates to the issue of imported fertilised eggs. For those who were here during the Second Reading,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP)Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to support although I would have preferred a longer time than the 28 sitting days. At times, we get short of time. The amendment I was really interested in has been overtaken by events.(Question, that the new clause be read...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Finance Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 22 of 2022) , and approved the same with amendments. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : Can we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the National Assembly Standing Orders and approved the same with amendments. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : Hon. Wangwe, you can now move the agreement...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me just begin by telling Hon. Millie that, of course I do consult with Hon. Nyasuna, but I have nothing to miss of those days that you allude to. I am very keen on issues that touch on...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do take that point of information from Hon. Wanga. She knows I know that. She also knows that I know who is sitting on it. Therefore, because the leader of government business in this House is the Leader...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.115/2022. It emanates from a Petition that had been brought to the National Assembly by a number of my constituents but, upon advice by the Clerk’s Office, it could not qualify as a Petition. It was,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have keenly listened to the request for Statement by Hon. Aden Duale. It is directed to the Chair of Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) , Hon. Muturi Kigano, who unfortunately has little energy to transact business of the House....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) I beg Hon. Speaker that you do rule under Standing Order No. 1, that this matter be handled as an amendment to the statutes as we also consider how we will ensure security and protection of all the presidential candidates. Thank you.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to join other Kenyans in conveying my heartfelt condolences to the family of the late President, those of my family, and those of the people of Kikuyu. The late Hon. Mwai Kibaki goes down in history as the greatest...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Sorry, Hon. Speaker. Commissioner Keynan and the Leader of the Majority Party were keeping me pre-occupied.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) He is a good elder from Wajir. During this time of Ramadan, he is usually a very good man.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition by Hon. Feisal on behalf of the people of Tumbe village. If you listen to the Petition carefully, you will realise this is a matter that started in the 1990s. The reason why these people...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order. You realise that in my contribution, I avoided politicising the issue of land because it is very emotive and has caused problems in this country. My point of order is that Hon. Fatuma Gedi...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.
