Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Speaker, because the Committee is a growing concern, the incoming Chairperson can take up the matter immediately after he is elected tomorrow.

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I disagree a little with the Hon. Chairman on the number of weeks he has given. Since this is a very sensitive health issue, by the time we are done with the three weeks of recess, we will have lost many patients in...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I actually wanted to point out that the issue of the 40 days of Lent is not only confined to the Catholics and the Anglicans. It is an issue of all Christians. Hon. Speaker Order! Why are you splitting hairs? She...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is important to note something. Once a patient is admitted to a hospital, the institution bears the responsibility of ensuring that the security of that patient is guaranteed. The direction the investigation is taking suggests that the bed mate or...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. That would be refreshing because the brief I heard from the family was that they were being pushed into paying bills. I have visited them, and I have been in touch with them and the clergy several times. I have also...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I have dropped it because the Chairman of the Committee agreed with my proposal to stop this taxation. So, I drop it on that understanding. (Proposed amendment by Hon. Kaguchia John dropped) The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Hon....

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I totally support the amendment by Hon. Muriu on the inclusion of New Clause 16A. Why request for goods when you cannot pay for them? I further propose that if you owe taxes and the Government has a pending bill owed to...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. For sure, we discussed this amendment during the Second Reading of the Bill. The reason we always go through amendments is for them to sail through or fail. We are not doing this for the sake of it. Most of...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : What is your point of order, honourable? Hon.

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I propose we do not increase the Railway Development Levy from 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent. Rather, we should retain at 1.5 per cent. This will ensure that we maintain the cost of imports low. The...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) He supported my proposal on dropping taxation of national park entry fees. This will help us promote domestic tourism. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : So, you are supporting his amendments? Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Yes, I support. What about Hon. Muriu?

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it would be in bad faith to think someone with a PhD is a bad manager. I mean, for you to study all the way to PhD level… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Hon. Kaguchia, the argument on the Floor...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In the same breath, on the issue of the University of Nairobi, we seem to be having an administrative challenge where the Chairman of the Council of the University, Prof. Amukowa Anangwe, seems to be wreaking havoc. He seems to have...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to make my contribution.

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand guided. I stand to oppose the Special Motion that seeks to impeach the Deputy President.

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I withdraw the naming of Hon. Kagombe and apologise. I also hope that you have noted that Hon. Wamumbi has hit me with a bottle of water. It is unparliamentarily that an hon. Member would …. Hon. Speaker Order. Hon. Wamumbi,...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I did not ask for information from Hon. Omar. I do not desire to get any information from Hon. Shimbwa. Hon. Speaker Order! He has rejected your information. So, take your seat. Hon. Kaguchia, wind up. Your time is up. Hon. Kaguchia John...
