Atandi Samuel Onunga

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make my submissions on the President’s State of the Nation Address. I was not present in the House when the President was here, but like many other Kenyans, I was able to listen to the contents of his Speech....

I will ignore him because he was not in this House at that time. (Laughter) Conclude and be factual. If the President spoke about the stability of the economy when he was here, then he was really being dishonest. As we all know, this is the worst leadership that this...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I withdraw the word liar and replace it with dishonest.

As I conclude, Kenyans are watching and they expect this House to be their saviour. And so, it is important for this House to reject the President’s speech because… (Loud consultations)

I did and I withdrew. Okay. You have withdrawn. Yes. I withdrew and replaced it with dishonest. Okay, continue. As I wind up, I want to say that if Members of this House do not change their strategy of legislation and approach to national issues, then most of them will...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question relates to the response which has been given outlining the assessment report of the stadiums in Kisumu and Kakamega. Has the report been shared with the Committee that he chairs? It would be my interest to see the status of the stadia in Kisumu...

Hon. Chairman, is it true that… There is no Chairman here. (Laughter) Hon. Speaker, is it true that Kisumu and Kakamega were left out of this consideration because they are not considered as shareholders of this Government? Can you confirm that that is the right narrative?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Because we are talking about gangs, with your indulgence… You also have some? There are gangs in my constituency and I think the Cabinet Secretary is aware. I even raised questions to him. However, what I wanted to report is that we have lost many people...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to give my contributions on this very important Bill. I begin by congratulating the Chairman and the Committee. They have done a wonderful job in coming up with this Bill. As everyone has mentioned, this Bill is important because it...

It is unfair for my colleague to waste my time, raising a useless point of order.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am very clear about my statement and the Standing Orders which apply. I am talking about corruption and I am saying that senior Government officers are displaying corruption.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not find anything to withdraw because I said very clearly that Government officers are displaying corruption. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) ; No! You said the Deputy President and I will give you an opportunity to withdraw and apologise or present facts. I...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will bring you evidence of the Deputy President presenting millions of shillings in Harambees because I do not have it with me right now. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will disappoint you because I will not withdraw. I am speaking of facts I believe in, that the Deputy President is displaying corruption by carrying huge sums of money to Harambees

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. One minute, Hon. Jared I was just alerting you that I am here so that I can get the immediate chance to comment on the matter on the Floor. (Laughter) You had put an intervention. Luckily, you are not far. Can I...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to participate in this Motion. The sugar industry in Kenya continues to be a mess. This is something which we, as Members of Parliament, all know. We assume and pretend that Kenya is a sugar manufacturing country but...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Kiarie is a strong Member of this House who is very intelligent. Allow me to ignore him because he knows very well that this House is captured. It is not independent. It transacts instructions from State House. To purport that this House was capable...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the fact is that this House is captured. This House is not independent; it transacts instructions from elsewhere. Even if this House purports to have waived sugar debts, it was not this House that waived them. Hon. Atandi, I would like you to respond to the matter...

Thank you for protecting me from interference by my colleagues. As you can see, I am a lone voice in this House against a battalion of Government machinery who are not interested in hearing anything against it. I would like to ask you to go to the Motion of today....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. We are not here as Members of the Opposition but to make these laws comfortable for all Kenyans. I want to plead with the leadership of the Government side. The amendment that Hon. Oundo has proposed is very important. Let me give you an example....

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to join my colleagues from the north-eastern region, who have raised this issue of insecurity in their areas where Kenyans have been kidnapped and they cannot be traced. Hon. Deputy Speaker, recently, I heard the Cabinet Secretary for Defence claiming that he was...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Motion on the Floor of the House is not what the Members are discussing. The Motion has

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I want to zero in on the amendments that are touching on the EACC Act. All of us are interested in fighting corruption. If there is anything that anybody in this country needs to...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not ready to talk on this.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Motion by Hon. Jalang'o is very important. It is a fact that the Langata Cemetery has reached its full capacity. It is also a fact that attempts have been made to create a new cemetery for Nairobi residents. It was also highlighted by the...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware, that the Fertiliser and Animal Foodstuffs Act, 2015, provides for the regulation of fertiliser importation in the couny; further aware that the fertiliser and animal foodstuffs regulates the fertiliser and animal foodstuffs industry including the manufacture and...
