Kamket Kassait William

Thank you very much Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. (Hon. Johana Kipyegon consulted several Members loudly) Hon. Ng’eno, can you disband that Kamukunji? You are disturbing my deputy by continuously giggling behind her. (Laughter) Hon. Speaker, I had a similar Bill before this House during the last Parliament....

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker and Members. Indeed, it is a great honour to have an opportunity to pay tribute to my former boss, Ms Anne Njoroge. I joined Parliament as a Hansard Reporter in February 1997. Immediately, I was thrown into the deep end of Hansard reporting. However,...

Hon. Speaker, I hear maize growers complain about the prices of maize being low, but those of us who are net purchasers of maize feel very happy when the price is down. These people are used to buying our goats and cows at throwaway prices. It is now our turn...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I go back to Hon Kamene, Member for Tiaty, what is out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, while I appreciate Hon. Osoro giving responses on behalf of the Chairperson, I find it difficult to understand his role. He is the Whip...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is the Chairman to respond to the Statement sought. REVIEW OF THE SCHEME OF SERVICE FOR APPOINTMENT OF CHIEFS AND ASSISTANT CHIEFS IN MARGINALISED AREAS

Hon. Temporary Speaker, while I appreciate the response from the Chairman, the policy as he has stated began in 2015. From then, the positions of chief and assistant chief, which are very important positions in Government, have been watered down completely. In places where some of us come from, very...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have an interesting situation here. The Chairman himself does not believe in the answer in the reply he has brought to the House. The Chairman agrees with me and agrees with the rest of the Members that this policy needs to be reviewed. Now,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. More than a month ago, I sought for a statement from the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the recruitment and qualifications for recruitment of chiefs and assistant chiefs, which received a lot of support from across the aisle. Since we are proceeding...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order? Is it in order for us to continue discussing anything for the county governments after they have taken us to court? Can they as well go to court and discuss that?

On a point of order. Yes, Hon. Kamket. What is out of order? Your Excellency, you may take your seat. Let us hear him out. Hon. Speaker, while I did not want to interrupt His Excellency the Deputy President, who is my brother-in-law, yesterday he referred to this House in...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Kamket? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I just want a little clarification. While I agree with the Motion, I have tried to do the computation of the time allocated. The Mover will have one hour,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. While I want to appreciate the Cabinet Secretary for his very articulate replies to our Questions, I want to state that Hon. Duale is a seasoned politician. In fact, in terms of seniority and loyalty, he has a proven record...

Thank you very much. I stand guided except that the beauty of joyriding is that a Member can enquire on any matter. This is the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry, and I have taken the liberty because the Cabinet is here. This matter has taken far too long,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I appreciate your guidance, I seek slightly more guidance on the matter of public participation. The threshold for public participation is not very clear.

Far from it, Hon. Speaker! Yes. It is a genuine concern. But I am happy by that guidance, except that in the Constitution and in the Standing Orders, there is no clear threshold on that matter of public participation. So, I will stand guided by that ruling. Lawyers will tell...

On a point of order. Hon. Kamket, what is out of order? Hon. Speaker, the matter the Chairperson is responding to is serious as it involves an elected member. The consultations are too high for us to hear what the Chair is saying.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding re-evaluation of the schemes of service for appointment of chiefs and assistant chiefs. The pivotal role played...
