On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I would like to borrow your thoughts on this. In reading Article 159 in its entirety, together with Article 152 of the Constitution, particularly Sub-Article 9 and Standing Order No.66, I believe that the drafters of the Standing Orders and the Constitution envisaged a...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I have two issues that I want to quickly run through. First, recognising that we are going on recess today, I raised a question as regards the remission of funds for political parties to the Registrar of Political Parties, who should then cascade them...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. As I contribute, I need your protection. (Loud consultations) Order, Hon. Members! Go on. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity. Looking at the list against what informed the passage of the Motion during the Morning Sitting, it looks...

Hon. Speaker, I thank you for the protection. The agitation coming from the Floor of this House is a testament that, perhaps, the list is not reflective of the wishes and aspirations of Members of this House. Hon. Speaker, whereas you have made a pronouncement as regards what will follow,...

I thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is good to underscore that I have not mentioned anybody by name. Therefore…

I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think it is also important to let the House know that I sit in the overarching Committee that oversees the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. I, therefore, have a relationship with the Cabinet Secretary. However, I also have to express my fears that...

Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party purports to be reading between my statements, but he has really failed. I was saying that in line with your ruling, if we do not pass the list, then the entire thing dies in its entirety. I did not say that is...

Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving this opportunity. I need your guidance and direction. In line with our Constitution, this House never legislates in vain. This regards the political parties’ affairs, specifically political parties’ funds. I am glad that you superintend a political party as the party leader of...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for finally reaching to me in that catalogue. At the outset, I want to make it clear that I support the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on its consideration of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly...

Hon. Speaker, I am perturbed that I also mentioned the former Prime Minister and no one has been able to correct me. But when I talk about William Samoei Ruto, they are so quick to correct me. Order, Hon. Okello. The I stand to withdraw that, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I have been adversely mentioned by Hon. Oundo who brings unnecessary imbroglio into this matter. I am seated next to my Committee Chairman. These amendments originated from our Committee. I am assisting him to push these amendments to the very end. I belong to the Orange Democratic...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, the import of the Bill relates to the composition of a mediation committee, which is appointed by the Speaker of the National Assembly. The clause is intended to, in a way, gag the Speaker by cherry-picking only those who rejected the Bill at its original stage. Standing...

First, I thank you for the opportunity. I have two quick twin issues to run by you. I thought we were done with Statements. There is one more Statement. I will give you an opportunity after that. Hon. Oundo, is it something to do with this matter?

Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity. I have two quick issues to run by you and by the House. First, I thank you and your Office for the material and emotional support you offered the Okello family when we lost our brother, Rev Shem Okello. Our collective...

Yes. Hon. Murugara, you are the Chairperson of the Committee. Hold on. I will come back to you. Hon. Speaker… Hold your horses, Hon. Murugara. Hon. Speaker, even as I align myself with the sentiments expressed by my brother, Hon. Wandayi, I read the ruling by the High Court on...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Jared. Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity. Article 260 of our Constitution describes who a State officer is. One fundamental issue around it is that it is anyone who gets a pay from the Consolidated Fund. How...

Hon. Speaker, I thank you very much. Last week, you gave a very detailed report on how to handle issues that lapsed with the Session pertaining to Questions and Statements. I want to bring to your attention that towards the end of last Session, there were two petitions that were...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Okello what is out of order? Order, Leader of Majority Party. Thank you very much, Hon Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party understands that all of us in this House know how to read. First, the heading is Affordable Housing...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Jared Okello? Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not intend to disrupt my very good friend who is on the Floor. I have noted that my brothers across the aisle have been given...

Thank you for the opportunity and on the same breath delve into this Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2023 on National Tax Policy. This Government puts the horse before the cart or vice versa. What ought to have happened in the early days of this administration was to bring this...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Whereas I speak very good dholuo, I equally speak much better English than when I speak dholuo. When the Deputy President speaks, I do not need any further interpretation because I know English very well. Aside from that, we just saw a few...

Thank you for the opportunity. In the same breath, allow me to join my brother, Honourable Ichung'wah, in congratulating you on ascending to the position of Vice-Chairman of the Bureau as you await to become the Chairman.

Sorry. It is the Chair. I take that back. You are the Chair of the East African Community Bureau of Speakers. I happened to have joined you last year in Juba. In the opening ceremony, you gave a very prolific and scintillating speech that caught everybody off-guard. Indeed, you are...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also had an opportunity to look at the fundamental and grave issues which were raised by Hon. Otiende Amollo. All the Members of this House belong to various professions, which have their own self-regulating bodies. Lawyers are regulated by the Law Society of Kenya, journalists...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, as a Member of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, I support the amendment. This is because we have been

No. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : I may allow you to contribute because this is a new provision and it is being read a Second Time. Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support the amendment. You will recall that all ministries were previously mandated to review their regulations every 10...
