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

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by thanking Hon. Shakeel Shabbir for tabling this Report and ably moving it for adoption. As the Leader of the Minority Party has noted, Hon. Shakeel has been leading APNAC and GOPAC for a very long time....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker. I am sorry to raise this now. You noticed when you were up on your feet, there were Members who were standing and canvassing very loudly. I also noticed that last week. We are now making the National Assembly look like a village...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I allowed Hon. Junet because he is a serious leader and he will never shout aimlessly. The day I will run a Government, he will know that. I am not running any Government now. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am just...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know we are a House of rules. Maybe, you could ask Hon. Atandi to take his seat so that we become orderly. Standing Order 107A (1) is on gross disorderly conduct. Just for the record, I may read for Hon. Atandi....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, as leaders whether from Kiambu or Luo-Nyanza, we must take responsibility. I like what Hon. Sarah Korere said, that you can lead your people in a demonstration peacefully and unarmed. Last week in Kangemi there were people firing gunshots at the police....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is unfair to give me a minute, but I cannot speak as Hon. Millie Odhiambo is shouting. You are shouting for me not to say the truth but I will speak the truth here. As leaders from Luo Nyanza you must...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I wanted to inform Hon. Tongoyo to ignore Hon. Millie because she says she knows me.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, please protect me from Hon. Rozaah Buyu or you can allow her to say what she wants on record for us to stop fighting. (Hon. Rozaah Buyu and Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona shouted)

Hon. Kimani Ichungw’ah (Kikuyu, UDA) The Member who spoke about people being mobilised was Hon. Pukose. I also alluded to the fact that there are people who are mobilising others to riot. Nobody alluded to the fact that if you were not in the streets you would not have been...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know I never stand here to speak carelessly. There is a report which was released the day before yesterday by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration which is in public domain; that 158 police vehicles were destroyed, 305 officers injured...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker, for bringing order back to the House. As I said, if anyone keenly listened to what I said, I was responding to the use of terms like ‘genocide’ and ‘targeting of communities.’

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, add me time because I have been disrupted. I have three minutes and 20 seconds. If you listened to the people in Kitengela, they said the people were brought in the morning. The violence that was mooted in Mlolongo was not by...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have tremendous respect for Senior Counsel Otiende Amollo because he listens and responds as we should in a debating chamber instead of shouting. I must clarify, I was speaking to the leadership from Luo-Nyanza and saying a time must come for...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I just want to inform Hon. Rindikiri that it is true that people who work and live outside were ferried using public service vehicles to Kitengela. These are facts that speak for themselves. What Hon. Rindikiri is asking is true. We must...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank Hon.

Hon. Kimani Ichungw’ah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was waiting for the ones who have a trophy in shouting to finish shouting then I articulate my point of order. The Member who was on her feet, clearly articulating very good points about incidences in South Sudan, is alleging that...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will begin by telling Hon. Junet that the Kenya Kwanza Government has no desire or plans to enlist the services of goons. Those who enlist the services of goons and anarchy are well known in this country. I want...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) She has no capacity, Hon. Temporary Speaker, to inform me on anything or any subject. I was asking how much violence and bloodshed is enough. I believe you will protect me from this unnecessary noise. (Loud consultations)(Loud consultations)
