Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. TikTok is both good and bad. Ordinarily, good things do not need any regulations because they are good. What needs regulations are the bad things. Here, we are discussing the bad side of TikTok. Advanced countries are the source...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Environment is a very wide sector with a multitude of practising professionals. The manner in which this sector is handled is very chaotic. A lot of unprofessional things are done on the environment. How environmental audits and environmental impact...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, cartels are the problem. Brokerage is a world-recognised profession. It is a distinguished and well-paying job. Could he have made a better choice of words?

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am not a coffee farmer. I do not come from an area where coffee is grown, but we consume coffee. As Members of the National Assembly, we represent the entire country. I cannot remain indifferent to any matter that affects...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 35. Looking at the quorum in the House, and given that we have serious critical matters lined up for debate and, more so, the Motion on the British Army Training Unit in Kenya, which is a...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) I would request that this debate be deferred to tomorrow’s sitting so that…

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The tone of the State of the Nation Address was to move us from a third-world desperate state to a first-class world state, which is welcome. That was manifest in his Speech throughout the Address. The President means well....

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) The President gave a flowery, sweet, persuading Speech. It was nice and good in language. I fear that it may blind us from attaining the good things he wants us to attain. It was a very nice Speech. He has done many things. He...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) There was much focus on what is usually considered normal - on the livelihoods of the white highlands; dairy, cashew nuts, cotton, pyrethrum and other manual contributions to the economy. However, the livestock sector, which holds 85 per cent of our landmass, remains the...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your generosity. We are dealing with a very weighty matter, the health of Kenyans and not just ordinary merchandise. It is not a trade in hardware materials. We are speaking to Article 43 (1) (a) , which explicitly...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) I support the Committee’s Report. It indicates that the current power output in the country is 2,300 megawatts. (Hon. Elisha Odhiambo spoke off the record) That is what I have heard from the presentation of the Chairman. That is what appears in the Report....

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) I want to quote the Chairman of the Committee verbatim, as he said on the Floor of this House. He indicated that our production stands at 2,300 MW and the demand is at 3,000 MW. That is infinite if we are to industrialise and...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you are a great legal mind, and for me, it is basic reading of the law.

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Hon. Speaker, my senior has aptly put what I wanted to say. The procedure of the House is so clear. This Bill was published, and Hon. Kaluma has been around. It went to the Second Reading, and his views were welcome. It went full...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am a Member of the Committee. The Deputy Leader of the Minority Party has explained the precarious situation that we have put Kenyans in. If I have it right, the Cabinet Secretary is scheduled to appear next Wednesday...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I cannot come to terms with why this Government is so concerned and attached to the so-called e-procurement. Consider the fate of a common mwananchi who is illiterate, yet has the right to participate in the procurement processes of...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is time we reviewed and revisited the EAC Treaty. At its inception, the EAC looked good, practical and made sense. Given the diversity in political democracies, demographics, and different foreign relations or inclinations, the EAC is no longer...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) I want to contribute, Hon. Temporary Speaker, and I support. We are taking legislation a notch higher by trying to deepen devolution. Indeed, devolution is one of the best gains brought by the 2010 Constitution. It espouses taking resources to the counties and further...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) On a point of order.

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Hon. Speaker, the argument is about this House being declared corrupt. It is not about discussing devolution. The Head of State declared us corrupt. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have always supported the dignity of this House. The former President Uhuru Kenyatta was on record saying that his Government lost Ksh2 billion daily to corruption. Corruption is more widespread in the Executive than is being portrayed. Parliament is...

Hon. Ibrahim Saney (Wajir North, UDA) Hon. Speaker, SUPKEM supervises the exercise of the fifth cardinal pillar of Islam by Muslims. There are registered Hajj agencies in this country that SUPKEM has usurped their roles. The Supreme Council of Kenya Muslim is very corrupt and complacent. It is giving these...
