Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Some of them are in this House.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, let me point out, because if he is looking for opportunities to play politics, we could also do the same. But we want to restrict ourselves to the business before us on the Procedural Motion on extension of time. A person who has...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this particular Bill. Members will appreciate that these additional funds are going to the counties.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we must be careful with the words we use. Hon. Mbadi has thrice used the term “ungodly days.” I do not know what those ungodly days are, but I would just like to mention that it is precisely because of that that we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. John Mbadi has mentioned me and the people of Kikuyu who are very dear to me. Besides that, I was in the office listening to the contribution by Hon. John Mbadi, which is laden with a lot of misleading information. I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you are well informed to guide Hon. Opiyo Wandayi. He has gone to the extent of disparaging the proceedings before the Committee in the pretext that he is laying grounds on the question of the time sought.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not intend to mean that Hon. Opiyo Wandayi is not in order to be making his point, but he is treading on very dangerous grounds, in my view. He has gone to the extent of debating not the Procedural...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I qualified as an accountant when I was a student at the University of Nairobi in 1996. Hon. John Mbadi was then a junior accountant at the students’ welfare placed next to Hall 9. As a junior officer, he was not qualified. He qualified later.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for protecting me from Hon. Millie. I know she may not have read the Kenya Kwanza Coalition Manifesto. When I said that some of the naysayers could be seated here listening to me, maybe I was right. I want to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise under Standing Order 81. Hon. Junet seems irritated on interruptions, but I want to encourage him not to invite interruptions. I have just got a copy of the Committee's Report from the desk here on the regulations...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) More importantly, Hon. John Mbadi as an accountant knows that you will not walk to a bank today without any banking history and be afforded the opportunity to access credit. It is that that informs… (Hon.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was just concerned because the Member said his constituents call him on WhatsApp. I was wondering because since freedom came, we no longer use WhatsApp to call. Unless there is a section of this country that the public feels there is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I just want, by way of comment, to thank the Member for Kamukunji for seeking this Statement.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) No wonder the Ministry of Education was very hesitant to roll out that project of Junior Secondary School miniature classrooms. Many of them dot our schools. Based on what I see in my constituency, I estimate 60 per cent of them are incomplete. However, they...
