I am here, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Proceed. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. The pricing differentials were a huge issue in this House just before we adjourned for the December recess. That is what led to the expansion...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I associate myself with the comments and questions by my colleagues. I want to start to take a slightly different approach. I know this question might have been previously asked. As we evaluate the quality of examination and the future of education and professional development...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock on its inquiry into the pricing of tea in Kenya, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 4th December 2025. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Kenya has less than 10 per cent of forest cover. This is according to the Kenya Forestry Resource Assessment Report of 2024. I have started with that sentence because we are confusing people...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As the students leave, I want to tell them that they have received the best reception in this House because, rarely, will you find two Members of Parliament welcoming students. I stand to support this very important Bill by the Woman Representative for...

Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity. When we speak of a community, we are not here to brand a community. We have heard sessions where wazee or old men from this community ask us to sit down and discuss how to repay our animals that have been...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. For the last 16 years, we have been struggling with the interpretation of what public participation is. We have had several court judgments, determinations and orders arising from the lack of clear guidelines...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Petition. I happen to come from a constituency which borders wildlife in two areas, and those boundaries are always affected because animals cross over and feed on the farms. There is also an issue with compensation for the farmers. There is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wanted to catch your eye. There was no point of order. I am happy to be part of this process, discussing an approach to education that prepares people to survive in situations that require it. No one would choose to remain informal; everyone would...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to respond to the Request for Statement by Hon. Walter Owino, the Member for Awendo, regarding the delayed settlement of dues owed by Sony Sugar Company. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), Hon. Walter Owino requested...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Cabinet Secretary's response is in accordance with the MOU. The Cabinet Secretary has specifically stated what was in the MOU and what the government has done. If we may be fair to the government, the Cabinet Secretary has indicated that Ksh2.5 billion has been...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, with a lot of respect, I listened to Hon. Caroli Omondi, and he is usurping the Committee’s responsibility. He says the Committee should stop doing their work and bring audited accounts, agreements and investment plans here. He should ask the Question or request a Statement, and thereafter,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I wish to thank the Committee for this great idea of starting the Kenya-AIST. From the outset, I would like us to consider the title. The title reads, “Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.”...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, what we have done to our institutions is allow them to do anything, like Kenya Science, which started offering other courses. I do not want to mention the specific courses because some Kenyans will feel offended. Kenya Science was not a pure science institution. It became all-rounded....

I am saying that Kenya Science was a middle-level institution. It did not offer degrees. It offered technical training. The other one also offered technical-level training. This is an advanced, postgraduate level. If somebody wants to do a master’s degree in this institution, they should come up with an idea...

This institute being created should not be for every Tom, Dick and Harry. Progression to that institute must be subjected to thorough vetting. This is so we can take in people who are interested in research, invention, and innovation. We are not just taking people there who want to become...

Yes, Hon. Speaker. Are you ready? Yes, I am ready. Hon. Speaker, we have finished the mediation process. Hon. Mutunga, if you are ready, move the Motion. You know how to move the Motion. It is okay. I have it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to the Motion. The fisheries industry, or what we generally call the blue economy, is one industry that has taken time to take off. Although it was started and a lot of effort has gone into...

Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the budget debate. I will start by thanking the Budget and Appropriations Committee for its good work. I was on that Committee in the first term. I remember it was not an easy process to listen to all the departmental committees and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will restrict myself to the divestiture of Safaricom because that is the subject matter today. I rise to support the adoption of Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2025 on the Partial Divestiture in Safaricom PLC. The first reason why I support this is that...
