Passaris Esther Muthoni

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to contribute to the consideration of the Draft Salaries and Remuneration Commission Regulations, 2025. I acknowledge the importance of these Regulations because a structured, transparent and accountable remuneration framework is essential in managing the public wage bill and ensuring consistency across all Government...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which seeks to primarily address the issue of retirement, which was not adequately captured in the original Act. Acts of Parliament are not cast in stone and must continuously be...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to contribute to the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 2 of 2026) , which determines how resources are shared between the national Government and county governments. This debate is not about the figures; it is about ensuring that resources reach the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to contribute on the Motion on the Report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee on the audited reports of the Commodities Fund for the financial years under

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to stand with my colleagues in mourning the passing on of our Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works, Hon. Johana Ng’eno. I remember his wife, Nalia and the children he has left behind. Nalia is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank Hon. Fatuma Zainab Mohammed for bringing this important Statement under Standing Order 43. I rise not only to condemn the ethnic profiling directed at Hon. Zaheer Jhanda, but to also condemn the growing culture of discrimination in our politics,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion on adoption of the Report of the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee on the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy for the Financial Years 2026/2027, 2027/2028 and 2028/2029. I commend the Committee for its thorough examination...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to wish and bid farewell to Ms Florence Atenyo Abonyo, OGW. I am honoured to share the same commendation as you. When I think of Ms Florence from the time I met her in 2017 to now, I feel that she...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Death never gives notice. When we broke for the recess, we all thought that we would go and have our beautiful Christmas and new year and then see each other in January, but that was not so for our colleague, Hon. Joseph Hamisi Denar. I feel...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you are aware, we have just started the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence (GBV) . I rise with absolute concern about the escalating dangers faced by women and girls in our country. That is what has brought about the Statement that I...

No, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On this matter, Pastor Ng’ang’a already went to the DCI and recorded a statement. The DCI are now coming back to me asking whether the clip is AI-generated. It is ridiculous to tell me they are going to investigate whether the clip is AI or not....

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Order, Hon. Wanjala! Hon. Passaris, are you on a point of order or a point of information? I am concerned when you make blanket statements about businesspeople. This country was once at a point where everything was nationalised, and that is not...

Sorry, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is such an important matter. I decided to get it right from the word go. First of all, I rise to contribute to the State of the Nation Address. I acknowledge the progress the country has made under the leadership of our President, Hon. William...

He is a first-termer. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have to start from the beginning. I suffer from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) . When you interrupt me like that, I lose my train of thought. Hon. Temporary Speaker and my colleagues, I rise to contribute to the State of the Nation Address....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, now that it has been clearly established that the Committee meeting was not rushed and that it met the required quorum, I would like to focus my contribution on the concerns raised on the substance. My primary focus is on the clause dealing with undisclosed pharmaceutical test...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I begin my contribution by thanking the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health for moving the amendment, which in my view provides a detailed global context. The examples from the United States, European Union, India, Thailand and even Canada, demonstrate real challenges that countries...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support the Chairman’s amendment and the broader objectives of CEPA, with a firm expectation that Kenya’s regulatory sovereignty, health and economic interests of our people will be fully safeguarded. I, thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise with a heavy heart, yet with deep gratitude to pay tribute to a man whose life, courage and conviction shaped the destiny of our Republic. The late, Rt Hon. Raila Odinga, our baba, our mentor… Hon. Passaris, please say, “I would like to...
