Ronald Kiprotich Tonui

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology the following Questions:

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) I wanted to say something, but after that correction I am okay. The Temporary Deputy Chairman (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Very well. (Question, that the words to be left out be left out, put and agreed to) (Question, that the words to be inserted...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) I support that. I believe that people with criminal records should never be given responsibility over any child and so I support. (Question, that the words to be inserted be inserted, put and agreed to) (Clause 176 as amended agreed to) Clause 177

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) I thought that a fine of Ksh500,000 was okay. It looks like Hon. Millie is making it exclusive for the rich. If somebody is allowed to go with the child, it means that he has the merit of being with her or him. You...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Chairman. Whatever the Leader of the Majority has stated may be misleading because this is how we do legislation. He is implying that we need to leave legislation to the President to allocate duties. We have not named the Ministers. You...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you. I moved to be closer to my Chairman. What Hon. Millie is proposing is good. It enriches what Hon. Chairman is proposing. We need to take her amendment, so that we enrich this Bill. It is positive. I support it.

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) It is quite vague when you talk of “minimum”. What is it based on? It appears too vague. Why do we not have an amount so that it can be understood? Will it be a minimum of Kshs1 million to one person? She says...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) I do not seem to be very comfortable with this proposal, especially when you include this idea of children born outside wedlock. Remember when a child is born outside wedlock, there is a father somewhere who could still be taking care of that child....

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Before that clarity from Hon. Millie, I was still trying to explain myself why I was supporting.

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) My issue was this: You know as a man you can marry a lady with a child. Once you marry, you are now two fathers of that child because there is another one there. Then you have your own biological children from this same...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Okay. Let me read that Section 2 so that we do not bar something.

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to comment on this Bill. This is an important Bill because it will mainstream issues to do with people with disabilities. This is a group which we need to take care of since it is...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to support this Petition, which I think it is long overdue. We need to benchmark with best practices in other countries like Philippines, which has such investment authorities, and they have even gone ahead to have...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know we have sort of dealt with this issue, that we require to create an Overseas Investment Authority for the people working abroad and go a step further to create labour offices in all the countries where Kenyans are working...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to second this Motion on the approval of the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on the consideration of the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Regulations, Order, Hon. Waruguru! If Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central,...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to ask Question No.472/2019 which is directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. QUESTION BY PRIVATE NOTICE INVESTIGATION INTO DISAPPEARANCE OF MR. SUMA NYONDO SAIDI AND MR. SAMUEL RIYANGO November...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Kindly allow me to use this minute. I had requested using his card.

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to support this Motion by Hon. Wambugu. I believe the Motion is timely because it is dealing with a very critical area. Before I continue with that comment, kindly allow me to pass my sympathies to...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you. I am guided. Of course, we know the people who are living in these areas. We also have children and they need to transition 100 per cent from secondary schools to tertiary institutions. That cannot happen when we have the Government harassing...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know I was a slow leaner even in school. I learn things slowly. So, I thank you for your guidance.

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me appreciate the Government for what it is doing to ensure that we have 100 per cent transition, especially by creating the many technical institutions in many of our constituencies. I believe that is a positive direction. We...

Hon. Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to make my contribution on this Report by the Committee. First of all, I commend the delegation which went to Saudi Arabia and the Committee generally for the good work it is doing. I know...
