Col (Rtd) Ali Rasso Dido

Hon. Dido Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We do not have a response, but in any case, the Cabinet Secretary will be appearing before us this afternoon. Maybe, the Hon. Colleague will be in his place to put the same to the Cabinet Secretary.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. At the outset and as Hon. Millie Odhiambo has explained very heavily, devolution is about devolving resources and services to the people. Today, the only devolved resources in this country that Kenyans...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I came this morning at 9.30 a.m. Therefore, my honourable colleague from Murang’a should hold her horses. I rise to support this Motion. I support it as a humanitarian and an international citizen. What is happening in Gaza...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. We are a House of traditions and customs, and it is in order for the Chairperson to move an amendment that does not substantively affect the body of the law being debated. This is not the first time...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this amendment. Roads are such an important asset and also the most expensive asset. Imagine in constructing a road you spend Ksh40 million per kilometre of tarmac road. It is such a precious commodity...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you are giving chances to those who are speaking, I notice you are biased to your left. I cannot really prove that your peripheral vision on the right limits you. Please, in future, those of us in...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Finally. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Indeed, this is the culmination of the budgetary process for the year 2025. We must thank both the Budget and Appropriations Committee and Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, for they have done a good job....

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) On a point of order.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This amendment is to ensure that the rights of Kenyans are safeguarded. Although it just talks about something to do with legal proceedings, imagine you have a pending bill before that institution, and by dint of this law,...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I rise to second this Motion. (Hon. TJ Kajwang’ and other Hon. Members spoke off the record)

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I wish to associate with the good bits that my chairman has covered, particularly on these three nominees.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the ladies in the House have accepted our apologies. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The person who sought this statement is seated there comfortably. I am not sure whether he is satisfied with the response. But for those who were listening, we are genuinely worried that we live in Kenya. Maybe you could give...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. I would like to ask my colleagues to bear with me. Indeed, I am fasting, and I wanted to contribute and leave. At the outset, I would like to thank and congratulate the Committee, headed...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA)

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate Hon. Zamzam’s concerns. Indeed, this was a very unfortunate incident.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) The one regarding Butere Girls High School.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am well guided.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I believe the Cabinet Secretary was very clear when he was responding to this. He was talking about the threat of terrorism. If Hon. Members in this House are saying no to that, then they must vigorously challenge that...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I am done on the statement sought by Hon. Daudi.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Speaker, could you give us a few minutes?
