Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me proceed from where I was interrupted yesterday, in supporting the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The Budget Estimates entrench equity and sustainability in both tax and expenditure. This was first and last seen during Kibaki’s term in the Vision 2030 and the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was saying that we are in a very critical situation in the fiscal management of our nation that was built in terms of tax management, corruption, and wastage since Independence. There has been failure to rationalise the two tiers of Government — both national and...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the current economic situation in the country is not merely a product of simple step, hop, and jump; it is the cumulative product of a process that has been ongoing for years — the COVID-19 pandemic, Ukraine-Russian war, the drought that has been with us for the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I contribute to the debate, I would wish to bring to your attention that catching the Speaker’s eye has become a serious challenge to Members. Those Members who are on top are least considered. This is just for your attention. Hon. Member, you are...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question is on emergencies we are facing right now following the flooding in Wajir North Constituency. It is cut-off from the entire country. It is not accessible. What is the Cabinet Secretary doing on Buna Bridge which has always been a perennial problem since Independence?...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I read the Report and it brings two perspectives to the fore. One, the credibility, competence and qualifications of Members of Parliament, both present and former. Two, fishing as a livelihood. Outside this House, Members of Parliament have been depicted as people who are illiterate...

Thank you Hon. Speaker. I will use my colleague’s microphone. I come from a county of over 56,000 square kilometres. I appreciate the work of the Cabinet Secretary because for the first time since Independence, last week, he posted officers to deal with issuance of death and birth certificates although...

Thank you. I want to emphasise that the freedom… Order! Honourable Member of Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Gikaria has already wasted my time yet he is my good friend. The rights and freedoms are very well stipulated in our Constitution: the right to demonstrate, associate, picket and so...

On a point of order. What is out of order Hon. Member? Hon. Jehow, you may take your seat, you will come back later. Just take your seat. Hon. Temporary Speaker, is it in order for the Hon. Member to insinuate that the Committee did not do its work while...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have read the Report and I entirely agree with the proposal and the nomination of the members to the National Climate Change Council. Of importance to note is that climate change is never natural. Climate change is artificially infused. It originates from what we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was a bit distracted by court petitions and I did not have time to contribute to this debate. It is my second opportunity to at least do so and I appreciate you for giving me the chance. At the outset, I want to congratulate...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I apologise. On the Floor is the Member for Wajir North, your proposer and a constituent who voted for you. I did not intend in any way to annoy you but to contribute constructively. On the point of relevance, this House adjourned for a special Motion on...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This being the last afternoon to discuss the Presidential Address, I kindly seek your indulgence to direct the House to reduce time allocated for each Member to five minutes so that we can have ample time to contribute to the Speech. In as much as...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Every speaker before me has congratulated you and the Speaker for your election. I know you have been inundated with so many congratulatory messages. I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating you for your election as the Deputy Speaker and the Speaker himself. That...
