Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Last week I heard the honourable Woman Representative of Lamu County make her Maiden Speech. (Loud consultations) of the people of Lamu. The people of Lamu elected them to talk together instead of addressing each other in the media, WhatsApp and the Floor of this House.Hon....

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support my good friend from Ijara on the issue of disappearance of three of his constituents. Our security in the country has been a serious issue. Our security officers have become more reactive than proactive. Whenever there is an...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I walked in when lady Members were on their feet and shouting, ‘Pads’. I thought they were seeking to be provided with pads, but now I am informed that they are speaking for our girls. I am a father of many girls, that is, my...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to second the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill by the Leader of the Majority Party. The amendments raised by the Leader of the Majority Party, especially on issues dealing with corruption and the Judiciary, are very important. As raised by Members when discussing...

You are the one who is confused, Hon. Member. I said there is confusion in terms of the investigation and prosecution of economic and even non-economic crimes between the DCI and the EACC. I have clearly stated that it would be better to have the EACC investigate economic crimes and...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. For instance, tax evasion is an economic crime, and we need to give more powers to the EACC, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) , and the DCI to focus on cattle rustling and other crimes like banditry and robbery. Hon. Deputy Speaker, many cases have...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to welcome Dr. Wachira Secondary School from Laikipia. On behalf of the Member of Parliament, I welcome them to this House. I went for a Harambee to fundraise for this school with Dr. Wachira and the current President when he...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want to support the amendment by the Chairperson. The private sector, especially in health, plays a very critical role. Having them on this board will help boost health standards in the country. (Question, that the words to be left out be left out, put and agreed...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I want to seek clarification from the Chairman. Which functions are the claims management office going to perform as an institution? Which functions are they going to outsource? The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Thank you. Hon. T.J.

I heard the Chairman of the Committee, the Leader of the Majority Party, and my colleagues from the other side, give contributions, especially on what is going to happen to the current employees of the NHIF. It is my view that it is not automatic that the current employees of...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This issue of Kenyans who were court-martialed in Uganda is unfortunate because Kenya and Uganda have enjoyed a cordial relationship for many years. When Uganda was in trouble during the time of President Amin, most of them were here in Kenya, including President Museveni himself....

It is not about KeRRA, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Just like on the Report of the Ministry of Education, we also have a problem with the KMTC admissions. The Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health, Hon. Pukose, who is here, is also a “cousin” to President Museveni. (Laughter)

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to appreciate the Chairperson for the Report. The Departmental Committee on Blue Economy and Irrigation visited Ngomeni to see the landing site around that area. Before getting to the site, we passed the Italian Satellite Centre. We were there for some days. The...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you, Leader of the Majority Party, for an elaborate presentation, especially on this amendment of the Water Act, 2016. The Leader of the Majority Party has summarised almost the entire input of this Water Amendment Act. I want to add a few things even...

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to also congratulate our team. As you have just said, Kenya as a nation and the Kenyan Government must take our athletes seriously. I think the President was right a few weeks ago when he said that some cabinet secretaries were clueless; that...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Kangogo? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The gadgets we are supposed to use have passwords. Some people or the Information Communication Technology (ICT) Department have installed passwords. These gadgets should be free for any Member to...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. The confusion we saw between the two Cabinet Secretaries has again been brought to this House. In fact, the more they explain their answers to us, the more we get confused. Hon. Speaker, give them more time to go and reconcile...
