TONGOYO, GABRIEL KOSHAL

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the BPS, 2024, as tabled by the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. First of all, I commend the Chairperson and his Committee for a job well done, and for working round the clock to ensure that the Report is...

Yes, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am glad that the Member is in the House. I want to respond as follows: The Member of Parliament for Kirinyaga County, Hon. Jane Njeri Maina, requested for a statement regarding the deaths that occurred in her county after consumption of illicit brews. The Member...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I think my good friend, Hon. KJ has kind of read my mind. I want to tell my good friend Hon. Oundo that when we were discussing about affordable housing, a majority of us in the Kenya Kwanza Coalition thought standardisation was a means of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On the Statement, I will ask for two weeks to get a response from the Ministry. I will not give you two weeks. Twenty three lives were lost and, therefore, I will give you a week. You should be having facts with you within the shortest...

Hon. Speaker, I first want to appreciate the fact that it is unfortunate that lives were lost. It is very sad that we lost such a large number of young and productive Kenyans through intake of illicit brew. I agree with all Members that 20th February 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Yes, I do, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Can you jog the memory of the Members of Parliament? You also have a Statement. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is a Statement on Tragic Drowning... A Statement on Tragic Drowning of Two Residents of Sigowet/Soin. Yes. Okay. Give us the response. TRAGIC DROWNING OF...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We all know that this did not happen only in Kericho. There are many more cases, especially as a result of the ongoing El Nino rains. The National Emergency Response Team deals with such problems globally. This is an issue that the Government has to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am well guided. It is true that indeed we wrote to the Ministry seeking a response. We did a follow-up yesterday and they told us that they were still putting pieces together in collaboration with the responsible security agents and the NGAO. When will...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Motion. First and foremost, I want to support what the previous Member who has spoken has said. When we discuss issues of terrorism, the issue of religion, tribe and region should not arise in...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I want to echo what the Leader of the Majority Party has said. This is not the first Board. We have a standard practice on how Boards are run or operated. Boards analyse the quarterly reports. I support that this amendment should be withdrawn and amended, as...

We will transmit the same to the Ministry of Interior and National Administration and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for that matter. We will give a response in two weeks. How long? What period? Two weeks, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

So guided.

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for that Solomonic ruling. I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the recommendations of the Joint Committee of the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs and the Senate Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Members who have contributed to this important Motion. Having keenly listened to all contributions, it is true that this is an important matter. I appreciate all who supported sending our very disciplined, professional and competent officers...

Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to outline a few things. First is the very fundamental question of whether procedure was followed. I would like to confirm to the country and this House that the Committee followed the due process of law to the letter. The Report indicates...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to clarify in simple terms what the amendment intends to achieve. First, I want to thank the Chairperson and Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for seeing it fit to table this amendment. The Chairperson had mentioned that we know the situation...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I assured this House and Kenyans that all the costs regarding the deployment of our police officers to Haiti are 100 per cent taken care of by the United Nations (UN) . No single shilling of the taxpayers’ money is going to go into this. The Temporary...

Give me the microphone please. It is very unfortunate for a very high-ranking Member like Hon. Junet to make such a statement. He knows that to secure this country, security is very expensive all over. If we would have been fair, we should have appropriated and allocated more resources to...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: 15th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 1 Report of the Joint Committee of the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs and the Senate Standing Committee

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the recommendation of the Joint Committee of the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs and the Senate Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations in its Report on the...

It is just to support what you have said. I think the very senior Member, Hon. Junet, is pre-empting. We will have the entire tomorrow. 15th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 3 He can bring his issues. I confirm to Kenyans and this House that we really followed the due...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speake, for this opportunity.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President’s Address. I was present in this House when the President was addressing the nation and I was in fact seated where I am seated today. I had the opportunity of not just listening to him but also looking...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the Report of the National Government and Coordination (Amendment) Bill No.25 of 2023. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.
