Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I will be brief. First of all, the Public Service Commission is almost the principal constitutional commission that employs. When we say that the Civil Service is lopsided, it is because the Public Service Commission is not doing a...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much Hon. Speaker. We are grateful you have committed to come and open the 4th PLS event in Wajir. I also want to thank the Clerk of the National Assembly. For the first time, we have an active secretariat- clerks assigned to...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I come from that area and I am an interested party.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. The Chairman of the Committee has given a response in form of a Statement from the Ministry. To say the truth, this is travesty of justice. Indeed, the Government closed down the Hillo Goldmine. However, mining...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this ground breaking Bill. Yesterday, the Leader of the Minority Party raised something very important about Members of Parliament in this House and the Senate. The Bill on pensions is about the welfare of...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I congratulate Hon. Joyce for this wonderful amendment Bill. I am sure you do not know how many problems you would have solved, particularly for us Cushitic people, the people of the north, pastoralists, and nomads. For such...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I second.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Yes, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Speaker, the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs is sitting tomorrow at 10.00 a.m. I would like Hon. Parashina to appear before the Committee because it is about the interest of the people which cannot wait until February 2025. For that reason, on...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me thank the President for his bold and focused speech. This is not the first Government. This is the fifth administration of the Republic of Kenya and within two years, Kenyans are saying the election promises have...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I really want to thank the President for the sub-county of Ileret that belongs to the people of the Daasanach. They are among the minority tribes of this country. They live on the border of Kenya and Ethiopia, along the shores of River Omo and...

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

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have heard the ping-pong between the two Hon. Members. If somebody dies in a foreign jurisdiction, that does not fall within the realm of Kenyan courts. What the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs is advising is...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue that has been presented to you is not a stand-alone issue. Teachers work for very many years, maybe 40 or 45 years, and sometimes stretching up to 50 years. But when it comes to pension, they actually slack. They...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, there is accidental discharge which happens in any firearm, from a pistol to a machine gun. If you look at the movement of that particular weapon, you will note that the trigger can easily pull the round forward...

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

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Listening to the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection, I think she is very clear. She has laid the message bare. I must also thank the questioner there. What the questioner has been saying is that she...
