Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I can hear the Hon. Kimunya shouting that I have one minute to speak yet he has never been a Speaker. Nonetheless, he has sat in the National Treasury and he knows the provisions of Article 223 and the Public Finance...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your guidance. Fortunately, for the first Point of Order I sought, it is exactly what Hon. Duale has raised. I also benefitted from your guidance on what you discussed in the HBC. It is appropriate that the CS is guided...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have two interventions: The first one is on something that I have seen the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury allude to or state.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) No, but the second one is on the Order Paper.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was saying that if, for instance, Hon. Kimunya’s amendment was to pass, it will substantially change what is in the Committee’s Report. Therefore, any amendment that is anchored on the Committee’s Report will naturally die. The guidance I am seeking---...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know I am serving my second term. I have been the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I know the import of this particular amendment, and that is what I am seeking so that you can guide the House....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second the proposed amendment by the Member for Kilifi North, Hon. Baya. I must also take this opportunity to record my disappointment and displeasure with the turn of events because this is a House of debate. We come...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, protect me. It is good to know that there are time limits set at the Clerks’ Table. I am within my time. Hon. Junet says that he is not my student, but he has no capacity to even learn some of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Why can you not allow me to finish what I am saying so that you are able to make an informed decision? I am seeking your guidance. It could be that the import of this amendment--- Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg that you lend...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) I hope I will recover the two minutes that Hon. Millie has taken. I was saying that the cost of food items is largely dictated by the inputs that go into production. I see another point of order from Hon. Junet. February 24, 2021 NATIONAL...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was consulting with the Leader of the Majority Party. So, I did not hear what you directed. I seek to hear what you said. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : Having been informed by Members, especially the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know I am never petty. You have heard the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee state on record what Hon. Junet is asking. The day I presented the amendments to the Table Office, I am aware the amendments found their...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In one Minute; that is why I was asking for your protection. I am trying to get to you and the Leader of the Majority Party is shouting at me and--- The Temporary Deputy Chairlady (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) :...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Deputy Speaker for that guidance to the House. It is good that you have allowed a number of amendments. I want to register my reservations without questioning your wisdom and judgement in declining some of the amendments like the one that seeks to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my view is blocked. Could you ask the Members standing between you and me to allow me to have a direct view of you? February 24, 2021 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 42 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP)The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.)...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the two issues I want you to determine are as follows. One, if Hon. Kimunya’s amendment is carried, where do the amendments that I and Hon. Duale have proposed sit? Two is on a procedural matter. If you propose an amendment...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP)Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to raise the issue when the substantive Speaker was still on the Chair. However, since you are here, let me raise it. February 22, 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 17 Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP)him at that point that...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Chairman, I rise to support this amendment by Hon. Nduati and thank the Chairlady, Hon. Nyasuna, for dropping her amendment. As Hon. Nduati has indicated, it was quite dangerous to allow contractors of tenderers to be the ones to allow the use of provisional...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Chairman, I was worried by your pronouncement that if Hon. Wanga’s amendment passes, Hon. Nduati’s falls. But I can see Hon. Nduati’s amendment touches sub-section 2 while Hon. Wanga’s concerns sub-section 4. So we need clarity so we may know how to proceed.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Chairman, with all due respect, what she is proposing does not affect what Hon. Nduati is proposing. It was your pronouncement that got me worried.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Chairman. Hon. Chairman What is your point of order, Hon. Ichung’wah? Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Chairman, the Hon. Nyasuna Wanga has referred to somebody as the “Hon. Machungwa,” and I was the only loud Member in the...
