Nashukuru sana, Mhe. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa muda huu kuongeza mawazo yangu katika mjadala huu. Kwa sababu ya huu uamuzi wa Mahakama ya Upeo, nilijiuliza: “Kwa nini wale ambao waliandika Katiba yetu walitupa mikono mitatu ya Serikali; ile tunaita Executive, Bunge na Mahakama?” Baada ya Bunge kupitisha Mswada, lazima...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to start from where the Hon. Member has left, on Article 223. It is the Committee on Finance and National Planning that flagged off this particular payment of Ksh6.142 billion that interestingly was made on 5th August 2022. The concerns that have...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Today, I had a rough time contributing and, unfortunately, he is from my county. He is my Chair in the Nakuru Caucus and, therefore, I have to be careful in what I say. I was speaking to the issue of subsidies. Despite the money being...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. The issue before us, which is the amendment of the current Constitution is a discussion that has been ongoing for a long time. During our campaigns, as Kenya Kwanza, we said that there was no...

The issue of the Office of the Leader of Opposition is what we are talking about and it is what we are facing right now. (Loud consultations)

Ahsante sana Naibu Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa nafasi hii. Kwa mara ya kwanza, nitajaribu kuzungumza kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Natumai kwamba sitafeli. Ningeanza kwa kumpa kongole Mbunge wa Githunguri, Mhe. Gathoni Wamuchomba, kwa sababu ya kuwafikiria wanafunzi wetu katika shule zetu. Wakati tunasema ya kwamba masomo ni ya bure,...

Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report on public debt. From the outset, I congratulate the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee for a Report well done. When the Chairperson of the Committee and I spoke before we started this conversation and I looked...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker…

Again, thank you very much Hon. Temporary Speaker for that very candid introduction. As you have rightly put it, I really implore Hon. Members, especially those of us who are young, to come during this time to participate and they will have the time to make mistakes and learn. Sometimes,...

I love that candid admission and I hope that Kenyans are listening and watching. Hon. Temporary Speaker, over the weekend, on Sunday, we had a national prayer day in Nakuru. The sermon by one apostle Kimani of Kingdom Seekers was about destiny. He said that there is a destiny for...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Pape on the Table of the House: Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on consideration of nominees for appointment as Members of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) .

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to condole with Hon. Kawanjiku and the great people of Kiambaa on the loss of this great gentleman of the Republic of Kenya. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was doing my research on The Hansard and the last contribution...

Hon. Speaker, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning undertook the approval hearings of seven nominees for appointment as members of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) … Hon. Kimani, you move the Motion by saying, “I beg to move the following Motion,” and then read the Motion as...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to start by thanking Hon. Makali Mulu and request him to read the mood of this House. I want to thank the Members for burning the midnight oil to make it…

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I really want to thank the Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for sacrificing a lot of their time. We called you from your constituencies and we even had to write to our party leadership to excuse us from the Parliamentary Group...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Report before this House is purely based on the velocity of the petition presented before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee and, therefore, it is only fair to say that JLAC took an impartial role – a quasi- judicial role. The respondents waived their fair...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The JLAC is listening to petitions from various bodies on the removal of the four commissioners. Bearing in mind the seriousness of this particular matter, and how emotive the issue of elections has been in this country, we want to make sure that we give a...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I support the Public Finance Management Regulations of 2022. Because I love numbers, I would like to inform some of my colleagues who are opposing these regulations of a few numbers that would be critical to them. The interest rate on the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I withdraw the word ‘Stupid.’ I will, however, not withdraw the fact that our inflation rate is at 9.6 per cent; 8 per cent interest is reasonable. Hon. Mbadi and Hon. Junet, you had your chance to contribute and we gave you time. Let me...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We call it the Financial Inclusion Fund but for the sake of my debating, I would like to refer to it in a way that my people understand –the ‘Hustlers Fund’. Before I was interrupted, I was talking of boda boda. I said that we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for, giving me this opportunity to contribute to this discussion. It is quite unfortunate that this afternoon we are spending all this time debating about only 2.5 per cent of the ordinary revenue of the Government of Kenya; 97.5 per cent of it does other...
