Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, mine is just a point of information, since Hon. Kaluma seems to insinuate that I am under siege. I was consulting with the Women Representatives to assure them—I hope Hon. Tonkei and Hon. Donya are listening—that the Ksh500 million that was taken...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I want to agree with the Members who have spoken, especially Hon. Kaluma and Hon. Junet. It is wrong for Hon. Makali to insinuate that there was no time for consideration of these Supplementary Estimates. We were all seated here when these...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Including Hon. Wanjiru from Kinangop.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Indeed, it has been a long walk to get to where we are. I hope that the Republic of Nigeria, as African powerhouse in the western part of the continent, just as Kenya is in Eastern Africa, will lead from the front. Africa is better...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second. As the Chairman has said, in view of the fact that we have less than four days to the end of the financial year, we need to conclude the Supplementary Appropriation Bill No.2 for this financial year...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill that has been ably moved by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning that considered this Bill. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as he has said, Kenya is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was saying we should ensure that anybody involved in the trade is not involved in terrorism financing or money laundering. 24th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 40 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)With that, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to second.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the House, allow me to take this opportunity to welcome the delegation from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. As you heard, Members welcomed them while saying “Igwe” as you called out their names. Karibu to Kenya. May you...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I move, it is also important to note as Hon. Martha Wangari has said, that we also came from where Nigeria is today. There was a time when there were very few elected women Members of Parliament in this country.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Including Hon. Wanjiru from Kinangop.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kiambu, UDA) Thank you for your protection. I was making this point not just for Hon. Wamuchomba's sake; it is for the sake of all Members of Parliament and the country at large. Hon. Wamuchomba might have been here yesterday, but she clearly was not aware that...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Report on the Mediated Version of the Division of Revenue Bill. Ksh415 billion is not the only money going to counties; that is just the sharable revenue that counties are getting. There is the additional county allocations of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, for Hon. Mwalimu Moroto, as much as there is no scientific explanation, but over the years that I have known him, he usually comes in the evening when he is very agitated. I have never figured out the reason for that. His agitation...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Sorry Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I was consulting with the Chairperson, and I wish to withdraw that particular amendment, having consulted him on the way forward. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Very well. (Proposed amendment by Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah withdrawn) Schedule The Temporary Chairlady...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kiambu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Clerk was in a rush. 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 June 2025, to prioritise business for...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, on behalf of the House, allow me to welcome the schools present, namely Ibara Girls Primary Boarding School from Nyamira County, and of course, the Alliance High School. I left the Alliance High School 19th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 11 Hon. Kimani...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill No.2 Bill of 2025 be now read a Second Time. This is a short Bill consisting of two clauses, which aims to undo what was enacted in the 12th Parliament...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I cautiously support that amendment. The amount of Ksh25 million for a distillery is not too much to ask for any distiller, whether a micro, small or big distiller. Therefore, I wish we had restricted that provision probably to a period of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I think that matter is more or less settled between the two chairpersons. We should not be worried. This is the beauty of democracy. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is protecting his tuff, and the Chairman...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) As I stated, this amendment also aims to enhance efficiency in the delivery of services within our State corporations, particularly in the road sector. Members of Parliament, being some of the principal clients of this road sector, may hear from directors general who believe they...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I reply, allow me to thank the Members who have contributed in support of this Bill. Hon. Atandi has alluded to the fact that the Director General of the Kenya Roads Board is in office only because he is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, what is it?

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you Hon. Speaker. I beg to second. As my able deputy has said, reduction of timelines on these budget-related Bills is important for us to be able to conclude this business before the end of the financial year. Bearing in mind, that we are...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is because of the kind of unpalatable things he is saying about the House which are untrue. As a Member of Parliament, he is aware that last year, the Committee listened to people and brought amendments. I can ascertain that....

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you need to inform the Hon. Member for Kitui Central that I am not ‘this guy’. I am the Member for Kikuyu Constituency. My name is Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, and the Leader of the Majority Party. I am more senior than Kalonzo...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am mentioning these things because they are important and because of the misinformation and disinformation campaign that the Chair alluded to. Kenyans are made to believe that there is nothing in the Finance Bill to benefit them. In conclusion, there are...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 17th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 44 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)I rise to support this Bill in its Second Reading. Hon. Temporary Speaker, before I proceed with my remarks on the Bill, allow me to express my disappointment with...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion for the approval of Ms Peris Muthoni Kimani, Benjamin Juma Imai and Prof. Colette Suda I am very careful not to use the word "despite." Despite this list having only one man, I support....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. As my good friend, Dr Makali Mulu, was saying, if all the recommendations contained in this Report are implemented by the National Treasury, we will need to do very little. Allow me to pick...
