BOWEN DAVID KANGOGO

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I heard Hon. Gikaria’s request for a Statement. As I promised to bring a substantive answer in the first week after recess, it is worth noting that Lake Nakuru is gazetted as a national park. I do not know if fishing is allowed there. I...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Reference is made to a request for a statement by Hon. Kareke Mbiuki, Member of Parliament for Maara Constituency, dated 1st July 2025, on the status of the construction of Thambo and Kanjogu Dams in Tharaka Nithi County. Hon. Kareke Mbiuki was seeking to know...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me first say that I have seen the report by the Cabinet Secretary in response to the question by Hon. Kareke Mbiuki, and even I, as the Chairman of the Committee, am not satisfied with these answers because the Cabinet Secretary has contradicted himself....

Point of information, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

I agree with Hon. Naisula. However, I want to inform my Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, as he is concerned that I disagree with the answers, even though I am presenting to the House. Procedurally, the Cabinet Secretary provides the answers in writing. Questions are addressed to the Clerk...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I second, I join the Leader of the Majority Party to welcome Hon. Kirwa to the House. We thank God because our colleague is back on his feet to represent his people in the House. I beg to second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) Third Reading THE PROVISIONAL COLLECTION OF TAXES AND DUTIES (REPEAL) BILL

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to eulogise our former Prime Minister, Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. The political space we enjoy today as Members of Parliament and even those who will come after us is attributed greatly to the late Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. Hon. Odinga...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is unfortunate for the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party and the Chairman of the Committee to lament about a Cabinet Secretary who appeared before the House and promised that he was going to release the funds. I want the Chairman of the Budget and...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to comment on the first Petition. In this era of technology, there is a need to incorporate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into our curriculum. There is a need to include AI and other technologies in primary schools. However, as we consider this,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Member has raised an issue on the compensation of Wagalla Massacre victims. There is a team which was formed by His Excellency, the President, some months ago, for compensation of those people who were killed and brutalised during the demonstrations. There is a need to expand...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. (Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo spoke off the record) What is your point of order, Hon. Kang’ogo? I will come to you, Member for Funyula. Proceed, Hon. Kangogo. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know the Questions by Hon. Omboko Milemba and the Woman Representative...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the response from the Cabinet Secretary. I have two questions. The Ministry of Education continues to admit students to KMTC even though the KMTC Act has not been repealed. What steps is the Ministry taking to ensure that the KMTC Act is aligned...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, what we are ventilating on is what Hon. Donya raised, that there was a statement she requested and the answers given were not satisfactory. Even if there were some Members who wanted to joyride on that point, it is maybe two or three, otherwise, there is no...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support the Petition. I congratulate the gentlemen who brought it. It is time we take this matter up as a Parliament and come up with regulations. What we are seeing in Shakahola and other places is radicalisation and cultism...

Thank you. We will bring the response in two weeks.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have a response to a request for a Statement by Hon. Namuar regarding the lack of development and non- exploitation of Lake Turkana resources. I will be very brief and summarise the Statement because I had already given the Member a copy of the same. Lake...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, to an extent, I agree with Hon. Namuar that Lake Turkana has been neglected for a while. On 20th of this month, my Committee will visit Lake Turkana for a public participation activity, which I also reported before you in the Liaison Committee. We are developing a...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, on behalf of the Leader of Majority Party should expound the import of New Clause 45A. According to the Bill, it is about access and maintenance of client transaction records and Section 6 is...

I do not know why the Hon. Chairman is struggling to explain. As you have read, it is written that the institutions and regulatory authorities are provided. When it reaches a time, we have some difficulty in regulation, the institutions and even Parliament will advertise for consultancies. There are things...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Kajwang’ has said exactly what I wanted to say. Emergencies happen. But again, you find that the Ministry has emergency funds. Where I come from, Kerio Valley, you will find that all of a sudden, when it rains and floods, the whole road is...

Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to say something about the Petition. I have heard the Petition from the Speaker of the County Assembly of Taita Taveta regarding the national parks and the consideration of recategorising the national reserves. Hon. Speaker, I ask the Public Petitions Committee...
