Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice on the demise of the late Hon. Lawrence Sifuna. He represented Kanduyi Constituency, which I represent at the moment, at the onset of multi-party democracy. On my behalf and that of the great people of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I appreciate the increase but I want to get the assurance from the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee whether this increment of Ksh25 billion will also cater for capitation on the HELB for the poor students who want to access university education. The...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I have the microphone now. I support the increment in this very vital State Department. However, I want to get an assurance from the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee that part of this sum will support the sugar industry reforms, and more specifically to pay...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. We must fight corruption. It is our duty as a House to fight corruption, but we must do so within the confines of the law and in obedience to our Constitution. One of the critical concepts in our Constitution is the presumption of innocence. We...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to reply to debate on the Motion. Because of the interest this Motion has generated, I will be seeking your permission to allocate one minute to many of the ranking Members who want to put in a word. At the...

Thank you for the chance. I thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. As it has turned out, this is a crisis of monumental proportions. We need to approach it from a multifaceted approach by both the national and county governments. County governments are given the power...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also thank my colleague for being magnanimous. Article 53 of the Constitution states that basic education is a basic right. The Government is supposed to put measures in place to ensure that that constitutional imperative is honoured. As rightly pointed out by Hon. Wakili...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity granted to me once more. Before I move the Motion, I wish to extend a warm hand of welcome to the students of Kibabii University who come from my constituency. It is one of the most vibrant universities. It does not have...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity. I rise to ask Question 150/2023 to the Cabinet Secretary. Could the Cabinet Secretary-

Yes, Hon. Speaker. Go ahead. Hon. Speaker, I am not satisfied with the response by the Cabinet Secretary for three reasons. One, it was a resolution of the National Assembly to write-off those debts, but they were not written off. Every time we go to the villages, we keep being...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also weigh in on this Motion by the Member for Teso South, Hon. Mary Emaase. The bodaboda sector is critical in this country. I can say for a fact that were it not for participation by members of this...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. We raised some fundamental issues earlier, but the Leader of the Majority Party and Hon. Chepkonga took it casually. The truth of the matter is that the reason why there is a requirement for the Order Paper to be published several hours before...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, we are in agreement that we need to have public participation, but what we are talking about is the time being allowed to do it. If we are really serious with it, 28 days might not be enough. I am pleading with the Chairperson of the Committee,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. At the outset, let me thank the Member for Embakasi, Hon. Mwenje for bringing this Motion at this particular time. The fight for Independence for this country could be equated to the fight to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for ruling him out of order. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to also weigh in on this particular Bill brought by my very good friend, the Member for Navakholo Constituency, Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe. First, I thank Hon. Wangwe for resuscitating this Bill,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also weigh in on this Motion brought by my good friend Hon. Toroitich. First, cancer has claimed many lives in this country. It is the third largest ailment that claims the lives of our people. It is good that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady for giving me this chance. First, I must say that I support the amendments specifically because we are providing for fertiliser subsidy. This is very important because agriculture is a key plank of our Government. It is equally important for industrial parks. These are things...
