Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Petition by Mr Kago. I met him and Christopher from the Kenya Haemophilia Association. This is a rare condition. I am not a health expert, but when they came to see me, I invited Hon....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree with the Chairperson. I oppose that amendment.

Sorry, it is the Leader of the Majority Party. He takes precedence. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the Chairperson...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, let me support that amendment because it is also in line with what we already did in the Government-Owned Enterprises Act to ensure proper corporate governance in all companies owned by the Government, including a fund such as this. This will dispel...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : There is a point of order by the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party. What is out of order? 5th March 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 19 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Chairlady, I want to inform Hon. Pukose that the law says that at the end risk management or a related field. You may be building, for instance, a bioengineering facility to produce medical equipment and it will require a biomedical person. That is why...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, allow me first, to teach Hon. Ngogoyo English. You do not discriminate on law. You discriminate in law. That is English. I stand to oppose this amendment. Again, based on precedent, we enacted and passed into law the Government-Owned Enterprises Act which...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to support this amendment. Notably, some people only show up during the Second Reading because they have a microphone and cameras in front of them. They come speak and say things Project Preparation 5th March 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 34...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of information, Hon. Chairlady. Hon. Chairlady Have you finished making your contribution, Hon. Oundo? Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) He has agreed to be informed. Hon. Chairlady Okay. Proceed. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Oundo is a good debater and I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Chairlady, Hon Oundo keeps blessing me and the Hon. Chaiman. He is just being mischievous because he has been here long enough to know that committee reports serve to inform debate in the House. This is also to allay the fears of those who...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Chairlady, the Chairperson of Budget and Appropriations Committee is saying I know because he used to work with my wife in the bank. So, he is speaking as a banker now. However, this is a good amendment and I support because customarily you find...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Chairlady, I do not need to add much on this, but I support. I also wish to say that when we moved this Bill the day before yesterday, I emphasised this point, that this Fund is subject to the Public Audit Act. This amendment...

Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the National Infrastructure Fund Bill (National Assembly Bill No.1 of 2026) and its approval thereof with amendments. 5th March 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 61 IN THE HOUSE CONSIDERATION...

As I request the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to second the Motion for Third...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) It is Hon. Ngogoyo and not Hon. Tongoyo. Hon. Tongoyo supported the Bill. I have special mention for these four Members because they 5th March 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 64 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)opposed the Bill and proposed amendments and have been here to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to oppose this amendment. County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs) are an integral part of the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) because you cannot transform a country from one corner or from the centre. CAIPs became that model where you...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion for agreement with the Budget and Appropriations Committee on their consideration of the Budget Policy Statement for the next Financial Year 2026/2027. Allow me to thank the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I have heard Hon. Kaguchia speak of money coming from the securitised funds or rather construction of one of the roads in Mukurweini being financed through securitised funds. I just want Hon. Kaguchia to clarify whether he is saying that it is okay to securitise...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Just to assist the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Roads and Infrastructure, the National Infrastructure Fund is taking up the commercially viable infrastructure projects in order to allow the people of Kenya, including the people of Mukurweini, an opportunity to get projects money through...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me begin by thanking the many Members who have contributed. A special thanks to the many who have supported this Bill without any reservations, and the five Members who have opposed this Bill. Only five Members have opposed this Bill...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There is nothing worth responding to there at all. I was saying that the purpose of this Fund is in Clause Hon. Speaker Wind up, your time is up. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) That is the entire intent of the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.57 of 2025) be now read a second time. Allow me to take this opportunity to also thank Members of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure under...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me again thank the Members who have stayed on until late to contribute to this debate on the Bill. I have had very good support for the Bill and I want to thank all those who have contributed. Even...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of the Standing Order 30, and in honour of the late Member for Emurua Dikirr, Hon. Johana Ng’eno, and the other five distinguished Kenyans who lost their lives alongside him...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you must forgive Hon. Mumina. She crossed the Floor in excitement. You know, she just delivered a seat to UDA in Isiolo South, together with the other Members from Isiolo. So, she is very excited. Hon. Ng’eno, as I said of him, never...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table: 3rd March 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 27 Hon.

Speaker, allow me first to thank the Chairperson and the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for considering...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Robert Mbui is the one to blame because he is seated next to Hon. Ngogoyo, and Hon. Ngogoyo, being a First-Term Member, probably thinks that we just sit and shout one term or two terms. Hon. Mbui should help Hon. Ngogoyo...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) That will not happen by accident. It must be deliberate and with conscious efforts by leaders. I say this because politicians will tend to speak to what they think will be exciting to the gallery. Hon. Members, please desist from the temptation to be politicians....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. There is good politics and backward politics, which we call retrogressive politics, which only seeks to excite the masses without speaking truth to them. I hear people saying, ‘Oh, I want to speak the truth to power. Also, speak the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) The Leader of the Majority Party is on a point of order. Order, Hon. Mbui. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, my good friend, Hon. Robert Mbui, has invited...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Robert, listen to me. There is a reason we have committees in this House that help us to interrogate some of these Bills before we debate them. Hon. Robert was here this afternoon because I was with him in the House Business Committee. I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Ahsante, Mhe. Spika. Kwanza naomba unipe nafasi niwakaribishe wanafunzi wa shule ya Damacrest ya kutoka kule kwetu Kikuyu. Hii ni mojawapo ya shule za kibinafsi ambazo hufanya vyema katika mitihani ya kitaifa. Ina wanafunzi wenye nidhamu ya hali ya juu. Ukiwaangalia waliko keti, utatambua kuwa...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Mhe. Spika, nikinge kutokana na matamshi machafu ya Mhe. Caroli Omondi. Kama amejiunga na wakabila, asifikirie anaweza kunitisha. Mimi siwezi kutishiwa na wakabila. Siwezi kutishiwa na watu walio na midomo mirefu mirefu ya uchochezi na uhasama kati ya Wakenya. (Applause)

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (A) , I rise to give this Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 24th February 2026, to prioritise business for consideration during the week. As Members...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 26th February 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 37 The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) The Leader of the Majority Party has a point of order. You must have sunk in your seat because I did not see you....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) He said that the guilty are afraid.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rose on a point of order on the issue of anticipation of debate. In response, Hon. Wandeto said that the guilty are afraid. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Guilty of what? Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I hope he is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you. I rise to support this Report and the Motion by the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee. Allow me to take this opportunity to commend Hon. Shurie and all Members of the Committee for the great work they have put in. If you go...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know I have been to both Suna East and Suna West. What Hon. Junet is saying is, indeed, true. I want to inform Hon. Junet that courtesy of the alternative financing models, Suna West, Suna East and many parts in Migori...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me agree with everybody who has spoken that we are approving a great person and a lady of impeccable credentials. Looking through her CV, I noted that Dr Betty Odinga has also served or has experience in international forums and,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join everybody else in supporting the appointment of Francis Meja. As it has been said, he was our inaugural Director-General of the National Transport and Safety Authority and he did a splendid job. I know when I say to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, since I see the Cabinet Secretary already in the vicinity of the House, allow me to thank the Departmental Committee on Energy for the great work they did, especially carrying out extensive public participation in Turkana, West Pokot, Uasin Gishu, Trans Nzoia, Lamu...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you have actually captured what I wanted to raise. This Report was tabled yesterday. Hon. Caroli Omondi has spent his time lamenting instead of addressing the contents of the Report. The Committee spent a lot of time engaging with the public, and those...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House on its consideration of the Judges’ Retirement Benefits Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 27 of 2025) be amended by inserting the words...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I know the Chairman has been very wordy, but this relates to the non-pension benefits that the other five judges of the Supreme Court, who are not the Chief Justice or the Deputy Chief Justice – and are now four after we lost Justice Ibrahim...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Again, the purpose of many of those recommittal clauses is to create clarity to what might have been a bit ambiguous in the Bill. This amendment is providing clarity that retirement benefits will not be pegged on past pensionable emoluments. Pensionable...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Naomi Waqo to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Judges’ Retirement Benefits Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 27 of 2025) be now read a Third Time. I also request Hon. Mulyungi to second.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I wanted to beg your indulgence. Since this debate has started and about an hour is remaining, may we skip Order No. 13 to allow the Chairman of the Decentralised Funds Accounts Committee, Hon. Mulyungi, to move his Motion under Order No.14?

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to move this Motion on behalf of the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, who is chairing the Committee’s meeting. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 120, this House resolves...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, following consultations with the Chairperson of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) , I request your indulgence to defer this business to tomorrow afternoon. This is because there are two clauses he seeks to recommit, just to create some good order within...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the resolutions of the House of Wednesday, 5th March 2025, Thursday, 6th March 2025 and Tuesday, 29th July 2025, appointing Members to various committees and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 175, this...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, Hon. Caroli Omondi is clearly misleading the House because the Whip has not discharged him from the Committee. I alluded to the fact that there are Members who are chairpersons of committees, who also sit on other committees. Hon. Caroli Omondi was one...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, allow me to read Members of the Departmental Committee on Sports and Culture. I have just obtained this from the parliamentary website. (Hon. Caroli Omondi spoke off the record) Hon. Speaker, protect me from the heckling. We are not used to heckling. Hon....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 232 (7) relating to timelines for consideration of the Budget Policy Statement, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the 2026 Budget Policy Statement by...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) No, but I am giving the notice on his behalf.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 232A (4) relating to timelines for consideration of Debt Management Strategy, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the 2026 Debt Management Strategy by a...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join you in congratulating Florence for her many stellar years of service to Parliament, particularly the National Assembly, and to Kenyans by serving their elected representatives. When I joined this House way back in 2013, I was fortunate...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had the opportunity to work with Florence when I served as the Vice-Chairperson of the Public Investments Committee in 2013. I worked with her as a Vice Chair of the Public Investments Committee in 2013. Indeed, as you have said,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will relay that to the Chairperson, Hon. Melly. He was here. He has stepped out. At least the Chairman, Departmental Committee on Education was seen in the House. The Deputy Speaker Do you want to undertake on his behalf? Hon....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I have not seen the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands today. I will relay this request for a Statement to them. I ask Hon. Mwenje to give us two weeks.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, perhaps Hon. Bady Twalib can speak on this matter. However, you should probably direct the Clerk to write to the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure to inform them that the House resumed Business on 10th February...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, as Hon. Omboko says, I will relay that request to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education for a response in one week. Good thing, Mwalimu is a member of the same Committee. (Hon. Omboko Milemba spoke off the record) He...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, it seems as though Hon. Onchoke has a specific request because I saw him raise his hand. However, I issued a Statement on the Russia matter yesterday afternoon as was directed by the Speaker. It covered many cases. It indicated that 39...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I request the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to check for the specific details. I strongly believe that the person he claims to be reported dead is among the ones in the Statement. The one who is alive could be...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (a) , I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee that met on Tuesday, 17th February 2026, to prioritise business for consideration during the week. Let...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) If you are looking for bytes to do on TikTok, please look for other things and not the business I am sponsoring. This is because I take my work very seriously.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I take Hon. Omboko’s advice but he speaks about a young Member of Parliament. This Member is not young and he does not look young at all. He is a first-time Member of Parliament who should take time to learn the processes...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is true that Hon. Caroli Omondi is a Suba from Suba North like Hon. Millie.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, from Suba South and Hon. Millie is from Suba North. The indomitable Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning, Hon. John Mbadi, is a penultimate Suba from Suba South. Hon. Millie is the Whip of the Minority Party. I also saw in that...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, we have the same amendment. Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 23 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new subclauses immediately after subclause (1) —

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, thank you. I want to agree with Hon. Millie that as a matter of hierarchy, it warrants the Supreme Court judges something extra. The other part that I forgot on this amendment is to take care of a Supreme Court Judge who...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, in fact, it is true that the Prime Cabinet Secretary had promised to do a comprehensive policy on the hardship areas because some used to be hardship areas but are no longer hardship areas. They were also to re-categorise some that had never...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true that you directed me to provide an update from the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Office of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) , and they have since provided an update. First, you directed that we give...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Dire consequences, Hon. Speaker. I have the Report. Indulge me not to go through the entire script, especially what I have received from NIS. I will give a summary of their statement. So far, they can confirm that there are rogue agencies. RECRUITMENT OF KENYANS...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, there are things you do not say on national TV. How did the Hon. Member for Baringo North know how long it takes to train a bandit? He needs to substantiate his claim and explain how he knew the time it takes to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Okay.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Tuesday next week.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion on the adoption of the Report by the Public Petitions Committee. To re-emphasise, the Motion seeks to regulate content on TikTok and other social media platforms. TikTok is just one social media platform, but...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, let me thank the Member for raising this issue. It is indeed a matter of great concern, not just to the people of his Constituency but to all Kenyans. As the Speaker said, when one part of Kenya is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Secondly, some of the people you hear pontificating out there about NIF were with us during the campaign. I know some of them did not have the temerity to read and conceptualise what we were selling to the people of Kenya during the campaign. They...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of information, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My apologies. I was interrupted by the Member for Manyatta on drought-related issues. I want to inform Hon. Farah that I was informing the Member for Manyatta that before he was born, there was a District Officer who stole relief...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to break the monotony, so that it does not look like this delegation is being welcomed by only Members from the Somali region in Kenya. However, Hon. Junet, the Leader of the Minority Party, is a Luo Somali. 17th...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I corrected myself, but he did not listen. Although he was born a Somali, he is a Luo. He is an assimilated and naturalised Luo. Hon. Speaker, allow me also to welcome the delegation from Somali Regional State in the Federal...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence on Order No. 10, Committee of the whole House. There are quite a number of amendments that have been proposed to this Judges’ Retirement Benefits Bill. We have agreed with the Chairman, Hon. Murugara, to consolidate all the amendments...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, let me begin by thanking you for the action you have just taken. As you have rightly put it, it is about the dignity of this House and not the person of the Speaker. It is not about Hon. Kibagendi as a Member...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the adoption of this Report by the Public Petitions Committee on the pollution of River Athi. Before the River Athi gets into the Indian Ocean, it goes through a number of counties where many people have...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will do that. Hon. Speaker Thank you. Leader of the Majority Party, your Thursday Statement. Do you have any today? Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was consulting with Hon. Lochakapong, who is sympathising that many other Chairpersons...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Let their Member of Parliament welcome them.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to also welcome students from Molo Academy. I am impressed by what their Member of Parliament, who is also an accomplished accountant and a very good Chairperson of our Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning has said....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for even reminding me. I was persecuted when I was the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee together with the Member for Bondo. When I declined to approve a further Ksh1.5 billion they wanted to steal from the Ruaraka...
