MURUGARA GEORGE GITONGA

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo, Senior Counsel, for the work that was done yesterday. He put us together as we went through the submissions. He took the lead and did a fantastic job. Later, together with Hon. Kaluma, we assisted and eventually rendered...

On a point of order. What is your point of order, Hon. Murugara? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As Hon. Raso, the Office of the President and the NPS respond, it is a country-wide concern. Can we get a response that covers the entire country so that we know exactly...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will start by tabling the response to the request for statement by Hon. Farah Yussuf, Member for Wajir West. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (C) , Hon. Farah Yussuf requested for a statement from the Chairperson of the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You have done very well. The report summarises what the Attorney-General has said. Unless we anchor the compensation scheme in law, we will have difficulties compensating victims of such incidents. Even in pre-colonial times, we had issues with compensating the Mau Mau. We...

It is Victims Compensation, which is a State Department in the Office of the Attorney-General. It is not with the Victims Protection Agency. And that law does not cover this? The law would not cover this because this looks like an historical injustice. That law is in respect of persons...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report. I thank the Chairman, Hon. Gikaria. This is the right thing to do. As a country, we must look into electricity supply. Electricity is one of the key pillars of development in the country. Unless the cost...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Yesterday was a dark day. A dark cloud fell over our country. By the time it started fading away, the sad news was broken to us that the Former Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, was no more and that he had rested....

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Education matters are becoming more emotive than land matters in this country. Every citizen should be concerned, especially where education matters are not right. Students have just completed their third term of the school year. In the Eastern region where drought and lack of...

Hon. Speaker, the other thing that puzzles me is this: We have been assured by the Cabinet Secretary for Roads, Transport and Public Works that most of those contractors have been paid. For that reason, they should have resumed work. However, if you engaged some of those contractors, they would...

Yes. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also find this Petition a bit curious due to the fact that there have been attempts to bring laws regulating churches to this House. Churches have been the first to voice dissent saying that churches, religious organisations, and faiths must be...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairperson. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be deleted. On behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, I confirm that the House agreed with the President’s reservations and recommendations to the Bill that Clause 3 be deleted. The justification...

Thank you very much. Hon. Temporary Chairman, the Constitution mandates the President to return the Bill with his reservations. If the House does not agree with those reservations, it requires a two-thirds majority to overturn them. What the President does is to put the reservations in writing, which are a...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I beg to move that new clause 2A be read a Second Time. It is a new clause altogether. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Order. Let me ask Hon. Murugara and Hon. Naomi Waqo to approach the Table. (Hon. George Murugara...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the President's recommendations to the Wildlife Conservation and Management (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.3 of 2023) , and its approval thereof without amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) The...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Special Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs in its Report on the approval hearing of a nominee for appointment as Chairperson of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, laid on...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I reply, I thank the contributors. We are all in agreement that this is an important appointment which we must execute as required by law and in the best interest of our country. It is vital that at all times, we keep our country...

Thank you for allowing me to also voice my support to this Motion. It is a very important Motion. Thank you, Hon. Jane Kagiri, the Woman Representative for Laikipia County. I echo the sentiments of Hon. KJ regarding the people of Laikipia and exactly what they find in their Member...
