Julius Lekakeny Sunkuli

On a point of order. Hon. Sunkuli, what is out of order? For purposes of giving a notice of Motion, is the Member in order to say “laid on the Table of the House this morning”? I am raising this matter because tomorrow, the Motion will not be read as...

I wanted to add on to what our friend... The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Would you like me to give you a chance to contribute instead of adding? No. It is just a point of order to emphasise the fact that it is always the default position...

Hon. Speaker, apart from the leadership issues of the Committee, can you also consider… Are you a member of that Committee? No, Hon. Speaker. Okay. Hon. Speaker, you should also consider giving limited responsibilities to that Committee. This is because some of the issues touch on land while others touch...

Yes. I would like to seek your indulgence to joyride on that Statement. Go ahead. Hon. Speaker, while the Ronald Ngala Utalii College was being constructed, the Government had also committed to construct Utalii College in Kilgoris. Groundbreaking was done by the highest in Government, but up to today, I...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, in seconding this Motion, I want to make a few observations. I am a Member of the Committee on Delegated Legislation that has deliberated on these regulations. Those regulations are made under the PFM Act because it establishes a fund. This fund will now benefit over 140,000...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also join my friend, Hon. Oundo in congratulating my friend seated here on my left, Hon. Lesuuda, for this very well thought-out Bill. Firstly, this Bill addresses one of the key problems of Kenya, which is that our roads are very risky....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill. It is very important to have an Authority that will be looking into the weather and the climate of this country. To correct a number of things, I begin by stating that meteorology is a science. It studies the relationships between...

Hon. Speaker, the Islamic religion is very important. Every religion is important! I was going to say so. We made a deliberate constitutional provision that no religion should receive special treatment. I ask, from a constitutional point of view, whether it is appropriate for our colleague, a devoted Muslim, to...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, my attention is really on those promotions from Grade C2 to C3 to C4, and I am wondering because this is affecting us especially in Trans-Mara. When you look at it, there are no head teachers who can come from Trans-Mara because the promotions are not happening....

Hon. Speaker, I also join in condoling upon the death of Hon. Phoebe Asiyo, Hon. Catherine Nyamato, and Hon. Bob Jalang’o. The first two were well known to me because they were members of my party, Kenya African National Union (KANU) . They were nurtured by the party and were...

Hon. Speaker, my question is about a road which the Cabinet Secretary knows very well about; the Kilgoris-Soit Road through Shartuka. It is a Low Volume Seal Road (LVSR) which is speedily wearing out. I do not know what the Cabinet Secretary is doing; as to whether the contractor is...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, in seconding this important Bill, I request the House to consider the incorporation of the Kenya Institute of Primate Research (KIPRE) into an organisation on its own. As it is now, KIPRE is domiciled in the Ministry of Health. Before, it used to be domiciled in the...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to join my colleagues in commending Hon. Bartoo for this rare opportunity that she has accorded the village elders. She has done something which no one has done before; inviting the ordinary leaders who work for our country back at home. Apart from the fact...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I do not know whether this money will take care of buying seedlings and planting trees. The Government policy of increasing forest cover is given lip service. Many of our women groups have seedlings, but they cannot sell them to anybody and yet the Government does not...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is the Office of the Ombudsman. I wish I was in that Departmental Committee because I would not allocate any funds to that Commission. There must be value for money. There is absolutely nothing on public record showing what that Commission has done for Kenya. Just...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, the Authority really needs to be funded. Someone was killed in Kilgoris last weekend. When I went to see the family, I met two officials from IPOA who came to investigate why the police shot the boy, down at the rural area. They were operating with meagre...

I have a question because I have learnt from the Government that the economy has improved. Taking into account that we were operating under austerity measures, has the budget to Parliament reinstated our travel allowances back to normal? I do not know whether the Chairman has heard it. Hon. Jematiah...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I want to support and also request the Government to do a little more. There was a time eucalyptus trees were promoted as having originated from South Africa and as a fast-maturing tree. People ended up planting them everywhere with little results. They are very thin...

I also beg to support. The Chairman who has moved this Motion has done a good job. He has said everything that needs to be said about…

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I welcome all the students who have come from different parts of Kenya. It is good that they have all come together to see the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. From the outset, you learn the need to interact with the rest of...

Hon. Speaker, the Chairman has said that the factories to the east of the Rift Valley have more prudent financial borrowing. And that the factories in the Rift Valley and the west of the Rift Valley borrowed with a higher interest rate and that is why the farmers are paying...

Hon. Speaker, I wish to join everybody else in eulogising Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o. He was definitely a literary giant in the 1970s. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) , an online newspaper in the United Kingdom (UK) , said about him; that, when he was about 33 years old, he...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, last week, the substantive Speaker made a directive that where a Member has asked a Question and has not asked for it to be deferred, and the relevant Chairperson is present, he should...
