Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Hon. Member is deliberately avoiding to read Article 239 (4) . It says: “A person shall not establish a military, paramilitary…” The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Order, Member of Parliament for Kilifi South! Madam Gogo, Order! (Hon. (Dr)...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) I consider this as an insult to the youth of this country, the age that is put on the website for Hon. Bensuda is beyond 35 years. We would like… (Laughter)

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) There is one thing in this House that unifies us all. We can shout at each other, but if there is one thing we must always uphold, then it is respect for the Speaker. Even when the President walks into the Chamber, he respects...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Yes. I thank you and congratulate you for the effort that you are making. I look forward to supporting your Motion on the LGBTQIA+ subject. This is a Christian country. It is a religious country and there are certain values that are purely African...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hoja ya nidhamu, Mhe. Spika wa Muda.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hoja yangu ya nidhamu, ukiniruhusu, Mhe. Spika wa Muda, ni kwamba si vizuri kuwa na mawazo mabaya juu yawenzako.

Asante. Mhe. Tandaza,

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi Kaskazini, UDA) Ahsante, Spika wa Muda. Nimefunzwa kwamba kuna neno “kutohoa” na kuchanganya ndimi kidogo. Unaweza kutohoa. Badala ya kusema “article”, nitasema “atikoli”. Hiyo ni kutohoa lugha. (Kicheko) Ama unasemaje gwiji wa lugha? Hiyo si ni sawa? Uhuru wa fikra, uzungumzaji na kujieleza, uko katika Atikoli...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, is it in order for the Member to say that we have a temporary President? He goes ahead to say that this President is roaming around marketing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) by looking for money. I think the context...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is the tradition of this House that when a Member has a Question listed on the Order Paper, he avails himself to ensure that he asks it. If we continue with this trend, we are going to lose what Parliament...
