Gabriel Koshal Tongoyo

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, as you have rightly put it, the interest is so high. I will give a comprehensive response the first week after the short recess. I want to confirm that I actually discussed with Hon. Bonaya. When we were discussing the Budget Policy...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join the rest of my colleagues and yourself in welcoming all the students visiting this august House to follow the proceedings first-hand. In particular, I welcome Olderkesi Secondary School, which is from my constituency. This is a school...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this very important matter on the Consideration of the Supplementary Estimates II for the Financial Year 2024/25. At the outset, I most sincerely appreciate the Liaison Committee...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Protect me, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am almost winding up. Thank you for protecting me. There is also Ksh6 billion for equalisation in the same Second Supplementary Estimates. I know this is a very deserving sector. It goes a long way to help us. As I...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I need your indulgence on this. From what I hear, the Hon. Member is talking about Kenyans being exported beyond our territorial boundaries. My honest opinion is that this could be better handled by the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) But it goes beyond our territorial boundaries.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will respond in two weeks.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we can respond to the Statement in two weeks.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I will do that, Hon. Speaker. You instructed us to call the Inspector-General on Monday over the Sakaja issue…

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I know we will have an opportunity to pass the same and if the Member wishes, he can as well maybe attend so that we are able to have some intervention undertaken.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to the Motion and support our brothers from Turkana County, specifically the Member who tabled this Adjournment Motion. 27th February 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 43 Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA)At...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Besides that, they have a lot of challenged. The area is arid. People do fishing because there is no alternative source of livelihood. That is why we have rampant cattle rustling in the area. Having said this, it is truly regrettable and a very...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Well, guided, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 27th February 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 44

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes, because it was supposed to be a Request for Statement, so that we respond to it or we visit the area and give a report. However, given the unique situation and the circumstances under which this occurred, perhaps on Monday, as we meet...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) The Cabinet Secretary has already visited the area and I am sure something is already being done.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you. I have the microphone now. I can respond hopefully on Thursday next week.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to joyride on what my colleagues, Hon. Tonkei and Hon. Sunkuli, have said. It is true that the farmers of Narok were all over the streets on Monday protesting because of failure by the National Cereals and...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am well guided. We will summon the Inspector-General of the Police to appear before the Committee next week on Thursday.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I could not agree more. What surprises us is that such a matter should not have gone that far without the Inspector- General acting. It should not have taken this long. We will do exactly as you have directed. We should severely...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. At the outset, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to Hon. Masara for burning the midnight oil, traversing the whole country and researching intensively to...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table: Reports of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on:

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join the rest of the Members who have already spoken to pass my condolences to the families of the two great leaders. They were, indeed, great leaders and committed servants of the people of this nation. I was privileged...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a response to the Statement sought by the Member for Nandi Hills, Hon. Bernard Kitur. He wanted to know the status of the investigation relating to the kidnapping and torture of Mr Pasgalis Kosgei. He also wanted...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) First and foremost, as much as I really understand the concern and the feeling of the concerned Member, the Statement is very express and clear that the inquiry file has been opened. That means that even members of the public are expected to report...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, one can never be precise on when. Because the inquiry file is open, he can as well help us to encourage members of the public to go and report because it can speed up and aid in the investigation.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am hopeful that by the time we come back from recess, there will be much progress made on the inquiry. We will then be able to respond appropriately.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes. I can see him in the House. Hon. Speaker I can see you, Hon. Member. Go ahead. Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, in response to the statement being sought by Hon. Nicholas Tindi Mwale, the Member for Butere, regarding the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, it is hard to do because surveys are expensive. So, they are carried out periodically, maybe after two or three years. I will try to see if we have the latest data. The latest I see here is for 2021 by NACADA.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, the latest national survey was in 2022, but we will try to see whether there is a very recent one. Hon. Speaker, there is also a question on the number of accredited facilities that are undertaking rehabilitation. Miritini is one of the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I am, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is in response to my very good neighbour here, Member of Parliament for Emuhaya, regarding a Statement he sought regarding the sporadic attacks in Emuhaya Constituency. In particular, he wanted to know the status report of investigation into the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I really feel the concern of the Member. It is very unfortunate that there have been more reported cases of death, even after this Statement was written. The Statement was very clear. There is an additional officer. If need be,...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will raise the issue with the Inspector General of Police.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, it is very regrettable. You know, other than this case, we have really had a spike in insecurity in the country, Luanda included. So, I am committing to go and see the IG, together with the concerned Member, for 3rd December 2024...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yes, I do. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, in response to the request for Statement by the Member for Aldai, Hon. Marianne Kitany, concerning insecurity in her constituency, allegedly caused by change of security personnel, I wish to respond as follows: On 1st November 2024 at about 3.00 p.m., Mr...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, investigation commenced, vide CR772453 of 2024, and 14 suspects were arrested in connection to the murder. They were subsequently taken to court under miscellaneous application and a custodial order of 14 days pending further investigation was obtained. On 5th November 2024, the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I agree and she has a right. It is true the police arrested 14 suspects. It is good to appreciate that it is a constitutional right of any suspect to get released on bond, and that is exactly what happened.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) They are on court bail. That is the report I got. Court bail is a constitutional right. The transfer of security officers is an issue the Member has been talking about. She has even been in several barazas talking about the possibility of her...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, it is true and she knows. I raised this issue with the Deputy Inspector-General of Police. We conversed at length with her. Allow me to keep engaging her and see what we can do.
