Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I will limit my comments to the Petitioner who has petitioned this House on matters to do with ICT. In the last Parliament, this House, in its own wisdom, decided that petitions should go to the Public Petitions Committee. Hon. Speaker, Standing Order No.1...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Kenya Delegation to the 145th Assembly of the Inter-

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House notes the Report of the Kenya Delegation to the 145th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and related meetings which were held in Kigali Rwanda from the 11th to 15th October 2022, laid on the...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to start by congratulating Hon. Ndindi Nyoro for such an amazing and eloquent presentation. In the same breath, I also want to congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for such an amazing presentation. This Bbudget is being made in very...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I believe we are able to debate rationally in this House. As you rightly said, I was in that meeting. I want to tell this House authoritatively that what the Leader of the Majority Party has presented before the House is proper. The Committee applied itself in...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. It would be sacrilegious of me to start by not congratulating Hon. Gathoni Wamuchomba, the very hard-working Member of Parliament from Githunguri. Githunguri might not be too near to Dagoretti, but we are hearing about the work that is happening...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am going to be very brief on this. In fact, I stand to support the annulment of these regulations in their entirety. The case has been made by the Mover of the Motion. The Seconder rubberstamped what needs to be done. Coffee should be seen as...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this proposal by the Kenya Parliament to amend the Constitution to accommodate among other things the things that have been listed by the earlier speakers. But for me, the biggest concern is the issue of us decentralising money from...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. From the onset, I want to put it on record that I support the Public Investment Management Regulations of 2022. There needs to be a framework for how this country is going to go into investments that are...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: The Report of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation on the vetting of the following nominees for appointment as Principal Secretaries:

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation on the vetting of nominees for appointment as Principal Secretaries, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 1st December 2022, and...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do recognise that time is of essence. Noting the input of the Motion that has been moved, I wish to second. Thank you very much Hon. Deputy Speaker. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to)

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation in its Report on the Vetting of Nominees for Appointment as Principal Secretaries, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 1st December 2022, and...

Thank you very much Hon. Speaker for this giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Report that has been presented by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Hon. Speaker, it is important that it goes on record that the Committee was not there to judge the...

Hon. Speaker, I need your guidance. I need to know if the Hon. Member is in order to refer to these very infamous Kenyans as comedians knowing very well that comedy is a very respected enterprise and a form of art. I wish to hear some guidance from you as...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to join everyone in congratulating Hon. Yusuf because we do understand that Article 95 of the Constitution does mandate this House to deliberate on and resolve all issues concerning Kenyans. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a critical issue concerning Kenyans. One...

Exactly! This is basically ventilation. Further ventilation enriches the whole concept of dealing with this matter. Proceed but take just one more minute. Thank you for protecting me, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish the Leader of the Majority Party waited for me to complete my remarks. We shall be as...

There is nothing out of order. You need to remove your card. You have indicated an intervention. No, there must be an issue with the equipment because I had been put off while I was on standby to speak. I am waiting to speak to this one. I pray that...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am excited to contribute to this Motion on consideration of Sessional Paper No.1 of 2022 on the National Automotive Policy. Manufacturing acts as a growth catalyst for economies. We know the levels that economies that have gone into industrialisation and manufacturing have...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of the House that I am properly dressed in the right attire for Parliament. I belong to and head a caucus called the World Scout Parliamentary Union that has been approved by the Speaker in accordance with the Standing...

What I would like to know Hon. Temporary Speaker is whether I should strip the tie of the World Scouts Parliamentary Union too.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to imagine the reason we get opportunity to comment on petitions is so that we can start giving directions to the committee that is going to be looking at the petitions. Some of the information this Committee needs to understand is that Kenya has had...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have a different view. For starters, I understand that the Leader of the Majority Party is the messenger. We have no business shooting the messenger here. The message is weighty and the Members of this House need to understand that what is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have to join the Member for Suna East and say that you deserve to be on that seat. As you rightly observed, you are actually an interested party in the NG-CDF matter. I was waiting to hear under which Standing Order the Member for...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am waiting to reply because this is my Motion.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will be seeking… Did you donate to any other Member some few minutes? Yes. I donated some time to Hon. (Dr.) Pukose. You have not communicated to me. Proceed. Yes, I am communicating that and kindly if you would engage us, kindly let me...

I have six minutes

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is the first time I am speaking to something substantive this afternoon. I take the earliest opportunity to congratulate you for ascending to the presidium and I know you are no stranger to that seat having presided over in a previous Parliament as Deputy Speaker. It...
