Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will not dwell so much on the Budget but on our oversight role, particularly as Departmental Committees. It is one thing to allocate money to respective Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) but another thing to account for it. When it...

Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Gikaria? I am ready with the response to request for Statement. You are ready? Yes.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, let me thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sorry last week we were not able to read the response to the request for Statement. I thank you for giving us an opportunity to do that. The response is as follows: The Ministry is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have heard the Member. This Statement was sought under Standing Order 44 (2) (c) . It is about the toxic waste that was dumped in the early 1980s and 1990s. To be honest, when I read the request by the Member, it is true that...

Hon. Speaker, this is just a response which was given by the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Forestry. When the Statement was sought by the Hon. Member, it was taken to the Ministry. That is why I said that we were also dissatisfied with the response based on the request...

Most obliged, Hon. Speaker.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Gikaria, what is your point of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I understand that we have already started a very important debate on the Supplementary Budget. However, pursuant to Standing Order 1, I rise to request you to allow us some five...

Yes, I understand. I see some Bills…

On a point of order. Yes, Hon. Gikaria. What is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg for your indulgence. The Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining has a response to a request for statement that was sought by Hon. Lekuton of Laisamis. I have listened carefully...

Most obliged Hon. Speaker. Thank you. Next Order. THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL AND BOUNDARIES COMMISSION (AMENDMENT) BILL

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Committee for a job well done. We have been in this place and you understand the aftermath of every election since 1992. This ongoing electoral process always brings new ideas and issues, but we hope these amendments...

Asante sana, Mhe. Spika, kwa kunipatia nafasi hii. Natoa rambirambi zangu kwa familia za wanajeshi wetu ambao walipata ajali na kufariki walipokuwa kwenye kazi zao. Nichukue nafasi hii kutoa rambirambi kwa familia ya kijana mmoja kutoka Nakuru County, mahali baba yake anaishi, na amekuwa akitumikia kwa muda mrefu. Kijana huyu...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Hon. Gikaria will be followed by Hon. Siyoi. Proceed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have looked at the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons of this Bill. I take this opportunity to thank my brother and leader,...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Wait, Hon. Caroli. Hon. Gikaria, what is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think there is a technical problem with the gadgets. When I came in, I inserted my card and pressed the intervention button as directed. Hon. Gikaria,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, in line with what he is saying, I had the same supplementary question, or rather concern, on matters NG-CDF. The lack of disbursement of the NG-CDF is even worse than that of the National Treasury and Economic Planning. This is because we are headed for a two-week...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Penal Code (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.56 of 2022) , be now read a Third Time. I request Hon. Dorothy Muthoni Ikiara, the Nominated Member of Parliament, to second.

Most obliged Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I want to support the Deputy Speaker. I also want to reiterate the fact that the Committee on Implementation should quickly act on this. Once Parliament has spoken and

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the Penal Code (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly) Bill No.56 of 2022) and its approval thereon without amendments. I request Hon. King’ara to second.

I second.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Jayne Kihara to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, first of all, I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for being very candid on cabinet secretaries’ matters and what they do. It is very unfortunate because they had the same excuse last week. We amended our Standing Orders in the last Parliament to allow cabinet...
