As we proceed, I know that we are coming to an end on responses to requests for statements.

Okay.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am purposely here today to receive a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the request for statement that I had sought in this House. However, I am a bit perturbed. Hon. Speaker gave clear guidelines that, that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I oppose the Senate Amendments. We need to tell our governors that we are not living in an utopian society. We are living in Kenya, and we know that the Finance Bill, 2024 was not assented to, and we are now using...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the expansion of the Leseru-Kitale-Kortum Highway. The Leseru-Kitale-Kortum Highway, a critical link of the Kenya-South Sudan...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to set the record straight that I support the Report of the Committee on Appointments, with reservations on the rejection of Stella Langat. As we have heard, the lady has been a Director at the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, State Department. The...

I know the lady. She has a very beautiful brain. She is elegant and can perform. So, as I finish, I know my friend, Hon. Mbadi, Mr. Chirchir, Hon. Murkomen and all the other nominees are going to perform wonders. The only thing we urge the Cabinet Secretaries is to...

Thank you. I rise to support, though reluctantly, the Supplementary Budget that has been tabled in this House. I say reluctantly because, as the representative of the people of Soy, we had a lot of expectations when we were initially preparing the Budget. One of the main expectations was addressing...

No. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As a member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, I rise to support the Report that has been tabled by our able Chairman. Firstly, regarding the maize subsidy program that was implemented just before elections, our investigations, which took more than six...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. David Kiplagat, what is your point of order? How can Hon. Ferdinand, the Member for Kwanza, refer to Members as passers-by? I do not know what he means by that. He should apologise and withdraw that statement.

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. A moment! Hon. Member for Soy, what is your point of order? Thank you. I can barely hear the Chairperson of the NG-CDF, and neither do I have a copy of that Statement. Can they avail a copy of that Statement so...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At least, I have now received the Statement. He was not audible. I thank the Chairperson of the Committee on NG-CDF for trying to bring this Statement to the House, despite the inadequacy in terms of addressing the real issues. The real issues, Hon. Chairperson,...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a right to respond. It is only that all my statements came at once today. I wish I had contributed on the other one. I was unable to finish my contribution. You are eating into your minutes. You better proceed. At this point, I thank...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Where is Hon. Chairman? He is not here. This House does not proceed at the whims of committee Chairpersons who decide to absent themselves. I have already directed that the House will expect a response of this Statement during the first week from recess. It...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was worried that I had been forgotten. The matter I am raising is of national importance, especially to farmers in the North Rift. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker What is your point of order, Hon.DK? Hon. Deputy Speaker, you and I come from the North-Rift and we know that farmers are now planting. They have been queuing for the subsidised fertilizer that is not there. Can you order that it...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education for that Statement on challenges the students are undergoing in terms of applying for university allocations through KUCCPS. My only problem as an expert in ICT, with over 15 years of experience dealing...
