Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think it is very wrong for the Member for Kamukunji to impute improper motive by saying that the new Members need to be coming here to learn. If there are Members who have been coming to this House religiously, they are the new ones. It...

Okay. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to support the Report by the Chairperson for the Decentralised Funds Accounts Committee. First, the NG-CDF is the cornerstone of development within the constituencies. Its support by the Executive, and also in terms of the regulations by this House,...

Can we confirm whether we have quorum?

I have never known why they are the only Government officials who are not remunerated, yet assistant chiefs, chiefs and county commissioners are....

Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to take this great opportunity to, first, thank the people of Soy for electing me to represent them. There were quite a number of issues that we discussed during the campaigns and also during public participation meetings. I want to assure them that we will...
