Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Hon. Speaker, everybody out there thinks that Parliament has been under State capture. When a Member of Parliament goes out there and says that he was paid Ksh2 million to vote ‘Yes’ but he declined, it means parliamentarians are not able...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Auditor-General’s Report on the NG-CDF for the nine constituencies in Bungoma County. As I stand here, I want to narrate a story of a family in Dagoretti South which I met recently during a bursary event....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand corrected. I meant when a Member of Parliament knows that he has over 300,000 students in school, that money will be insufficient because the allocation is not done fairly. If the Fund uses one man, one vote, one shilling, he will get sufficient...

You see, I always say this to people: That whether you are in the opposition, in government, the Judiciary or the Executive, we are all part of the Government. We all constitute the Government. With the position that the country found itself in, the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga has said...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As much as I commend the public participation on the Bill and the proposed amendments, I reject it because we need to ensure that we listen to what the population is saying. (Applause)(Applause)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support my colleague, Hon. Naisula, for bringing this Public Service Internship Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.63 of 2022) , and the Departmental Committee on Labour for their work of making sure it reaches this stage. This country has an unemployment rate of...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Supplementary Budget as read by the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. But as he prepares the Budget for the Financial Year 2024/2025, they should re-look at the estimates to ensure that we do not over budget. As we...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand here as the Nairobi County Women Representative to welcome all the visitors here and especially my girls from Huruma Girls’ Secondary School, who are accompanied by their teachers, Mr Peter Mbathi, Mr N. Gichohi and Mr Kevin Mutueni. We have 170 girls that have...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the designated areas. As a country, we have had many disasters. For example, fire, floods, drought and those that are caused by Government wrongs like clearing riparian land. We need to consider shelters in every constituency. We need people to know shelters are...

Thank you. Hon. Temporary Chairman. I rise to support the amendment. We definitely need to equip ourselves to cope with this, but we also have to recognise that training is crucial. There are many citizens that have really supported the disaster response and I am glad that the Leader of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the concerned citizens of Kenya, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, Article 119 of the Constitution affirms the right of every individual to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority including to enact,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion by Hon. Dorothy Ikiara. We need a holistic approach when dealing with persons living with disabilities and their caregivers. We need to provide resources for the necessary care and protection of caregivers. Protection means mental health and emotional well-being...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have your own Question? Yes, I do.

Hon. Speaker, with all due respect, during the pandemic, over 300,000 girls were defiled and became pregnant. Since safe abortions are not permitted and the Ministry has not released the regulations on safe abortions and trained doctors on the same, those girls are forced to have children and they end...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to welcome Hon. Miles Sampa, who is a Member of the Pan-African Parliament. He was one of the contenders, recently, for the seat of President of the Pan-African Parliament. As one of the Pan-African Parliament Members, we welcome him to Kenya.

I will contribute to the next one.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to contribute to the Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, brought by Hon. Benjamin Gathiru. Acting in a position demotivates employees. In the public service, we want to have very good motivated employees willing to serve. When you are in an acting position, you...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order 227 (2) relating to the timeline for consideration of public petitions by the Public Petitions Committee. Hon. Speaker, as you may recall, on 8th August 2023, you reported to this House a Petition by the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, on behalf of Hon. Samuel Atandi, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary- grant of Ksh17,000 per learner instead of the marked capitation grant of Ksh22,244 per learner to public secondary schools? MEASURES UNDERTAKEN TO BOLSTER GUIDANCE AND...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for the answers. I would like to ask a question on capitation. In the table that you have provided, I have seen that we never really reached Ksh22,000. We have been declining and stuck on Ksh17,000. I can speak for my...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I commend the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture, for coming up with this Report of the Auditor-General, on the 23 non-compliant State Corporations. We require compliance under Article 226 of the Constitution for accountability because it is taxpayers’ money that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill as brought in by the Leader of the Majority Party for the following reasons. On the Traffic Act, I believe that everybody has lost respect for the traffic force because whenever we see them, we...
