Basil Robert Ngui

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will move very quickly. At the outset, as much as I support the Equalisation Fund, I am very much disappointed with the level of biasness in the distribution of resources under this Fund. I do not understand why Yatta is missing from this list,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker and the Cabinet Secretary. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Sports and Culture, we budgeted for sports academies but I do not know where we are with that because nothing has started yet.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, please protect me from the Leader of the Majority Party. My name is Hon. Basil. He is joking about my third name, Ngui. It does not mean what he thinks.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary speaker for giving me the Floor. I also thank my brother, Hon. Peter, for bringing this Bill to the Floor of the House. At the outset, I support the Bill. I support it because standardisation does not mean the same functions. So, I do not know...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Member? My point of order was on Hon. Oundo, the daktari. He used unparliamentary language, but I also wanted to contribute to this. Order, Hon. Member; it is overtaken by events. I wanted to contribute...

Thank you. I also join my colleagues in condoling with the families who have lost their loved ones. Could the Cabinet Secretary explain how often the Ministry conducts safety audits so that we do not become a reactive nation? We need to ensure safety measures are in place throughout the...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Order, Hon. Phelix Odiwuor. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am looking at the numbers we have and we have no quorum. Hon. Phelix Odiwuor (Lang‘ata, ODM) : Wewe umetumwa na nani? Why would you raise a point of order when I am already...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also thank the Leader of the Minority Party for giving me this opportunity. Creating an Office of the Leader of the Official Opposition is important. The stability of this country is critical. We have always seen the winner of the elections taking it all...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am a Member of this Committee. I appreciate the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing this Bill to the House. As my friends have said, it is important to look at the cons and the pros of this industry. Gambling is very addictive....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think I am standing on Standing Order 85. My brother, Hon. Mutuse, is misleading the House. He says the Speech was short and precise. However, it was too long. It had over a hundred points and ran for more than one hour. Please, it...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to contribute on the President's Address. First, it was too long and boring because many Members were struggling to stay awake. He did not indicate how he intends to reduce the cost of living. If you look at global prices of fuel, they...

Allow me to respond to the…

Allow me to respond to the Member for Thika. She seems to be uninformed so I will inform her. She should have read the daily newspapers on the new recruits at KRA. They clearly mentioned that 57 per cent of the new recruits were from two tribes. I do not...

They are interrupting my speech…

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to make reference in this House. The issue of job distribution was debated by the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, Prof. Njuguna, when he was here. He acknowledged this. I do not have the actual records, but this was...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker and Cabinet Secretary. We are now approaching the Christmas festive season. I would like to know what the Ministry is planning to do to manage the increase of crime associated with the festive season. Thank you.
