Col (Rtd) Ali Rasso Dido

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also thank Hon. Ruweida for bringing this important Motion. Those of us with a military background acknowledge that soldiery is one of the oldest professions. The word 'soldier' comes from the Latin word 'solidus', which was a...

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) In America, when airlines are calling for boarding, they first call the veterans and those in uniform. This is how much they respect their soldiers. Therefore, I urge my Honourable colleagues to support this Motion so that it becomes etched in our laws. As a...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to pay tribute to General Ogolla and nine other gallant officers, men and women, who fell in that terrible aircraft crash. I know General Ogolla because we joined KDF around the same time. Our paths crossed as...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Two weeks is okay, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the Budget Implementation for the Second Quarter of the Financial Year 2023/2024 with respect to:

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Two weeks, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Dido Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. You just need to walk around the Parliamentary Square to see the changes and know that there is a new sheriff in town – from the dining area, all the way to the pavements being done from where we...

Hon. Dido Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to respond to a request for statement on the delayed release of the autopsy report of the late Inspector Walter Nyamato. The Member for Kitutu Masaba, Hon. Clive Gisairo, sought for a statement regarding the delayed release...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I am continuing, Hon. Speaker. The autopsy report has taken inordinately long time because the late officer died in a foreign country, the United States of America. This prompted the need to establish the cause of his unfortunate death before the body could be flown...

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) I understand the concerns of the Hon. Member. However, the issue that we both must understand is that the officer died in a foreign country. Information on the autopsy report may not necessarily be released to the Government. Even if that is done, the family...

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. We will, as a Committee, take it upon ourselves to get the autopsy report as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I stand to support the amendment. The Principal Bill wants to define the words “Committee” and “National Security Advisor”. In that context, this was a violation of Article 240 of our Constitution. For that reason, if it is declined by...

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I beg to support this amendment. The Attorney-General is the State legal officer. When anyone sues the Government, they sue the Attorney-General. For that reason, the idea of transferring the Public Seal was misplaced. I thank the Committee for rejecting...

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to join the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Sarah Korere and Hon. Mwangi Kiunjuri on what they have expressed this afternoon. I speak from the Floor of this House as the patron of the Pastoralist Parliamentary...

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From what Hon. Keynan has raised, the issue of people disappearing is slowly coming back. For all intent and purpose, I thought we buried the idea of Kenyans disappearing with the last Government. Kenyans are disappearing when there are law...

Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very Much…. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) Hon. Members, please let us give the Hon. Member for Saku, who is the Vice-Chairman, an opportunity to respond? Hon. Dido Rasso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe that...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary a specific question on Marsabit. The Marsabit Stadium was built by both the county government and Sports Kenya. One side of the Stadium is complete while the other is still lagging....

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support this petition. By the time a Member stands on the Floor of this House to present a petition, it means 19th March 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 6 Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA)land is either private, public or...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Much obliged Hon. Speaker. Thank you. Next is Hon. Geoffrey Ruku, Member for Mbeere North. TAX INCENTIVE CLAIMS

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you are right. That is a matter of foreign affairs and not for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration because the death happened in a foreign land. This is a matter in foreign jurisdiction, Hon. Kawaya. We will route your request to...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. We have had such offices in this country. During the previous administration, we had Chief Administrative Secretaries. It was confirmed, and many of us agreed; that it was not anchored in law. Some...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, this Clause tells us that you are not going to prevent the county from taking the initiative in terms of establishing housing units. The Hon. Member for Seme is saying that this thing is domiciled at the national level and patented. However,...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the onset, let me thank the Member for Endebess and Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health for bringing this very interesting Report on ratification of this agreement 22nd February 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 14 Hon. Ali...
