Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Is the Hon. Member in order to skip the first part of the Question in the Order Paper and thereby rearranging such that when she is in part five, she says it is part four? She has not read out the...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) No, she has not. That is why she said the last part of the Question was part four instead of part five. She did not read the first part of the Question.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Then how did she end up with part five of the Question being part four if she started with part one? Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary:

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to add my voice to this sad situation. It is sad that 60 years after Independence, there are indigenous people who are said to be landless or squatters. They are residing in areas of their ancestors. We...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Asante, Mhe. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii. Kwanza, nawapongeza wale ambao walikaa na kuibua Hoja hii ya malalamiko, ambao ukiuangalia, ni kweli kuwa wale ambao wanafanya shughuli ya bobaboda kupitia mtandao wanadhulumiwa haswa na wale wenye mitandao.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Asante, Mhe. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunitunuku dakika mbili. Nilikuwa nasisitiza kwamba mara nyingi hata sisi ambao tuko Bungeni husahau kwamba kuna watu ambao wana biashara za chini. Uwezo wao sio ule wa teksi au basi za kawaida. Lakini yale majukumu ambayo wanatekeleza ni muhimu....

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the increase. Many technical and vocational training colleges in the country, including Matuga TVC, were officially opened last year. However, we have not received equipment up to now. This being a centre of excellence, it is my hope...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. 13th March 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 102 Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC)The current Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) has three pathways. While I support this increment, nowhere does it mention that they will concentrate on the third pathway of arts and sports....

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the increment. However, counties like Kwale do not have a referral hospital to date. I hope the increment will go to such counties which dearly need referral hospitals. (Programmes 0402000, 0410000, 0411000 and 0412000 agreed to) (Vote 1082...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the reduction and also note the increase of Ksh350 million for the electrification of public facilities and the other increase of Ksh150 million for the installation of transformers in constituencies. This item is long overdue. I hope that...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I sit in this Committee and there is a big problem when it comes to fish landing sites where there are pending bills. Some are complete, but cannot be operationalised. I hope this increase will go a long way in...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. With this increase, the State Department should streamline its operations. We have situations where very elderly people visit the offices for registration and most of the time officers in charge are not there. I support this increment but let them...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also want to echo that certainly we would want to increase that amount, but when a Member says that single constituency Members of Parliament have money to do all what they want, the Member should remember that when it...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Which one? Asante sana Mhe. Spika. Kwa sababu mimi ni mhandisi, sikumbuki ni mwandishi yupi aliyesema haina haja uendelee kubembeleza farasi wako unayempenda na anayekimbia mbio kushinda wengine na kuleta zawadi zote. Kwa bahati mbaya, umri wake hufika akafariki. Haina haja uendelee kumbembeleza na kumletea...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Is the Hon. Member in order to say that we are not competent to discuss a matter that is before us? Is he in order?

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I, of course, support the Bill as it is, but I am having a difficulty from what the Chairman has explained. He gave an example that for us here, where our reporting entity is the Parliamentary Service Commission, you could...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Hon. Speaker, only 90 constituencies have submitted.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is possible that some Members have not received all the disbursement for genuine reasons. For example, if up to now in one's constituency there are projects which are yet to be approved, the Board cannot disburse money. It is clear...

Order, Hon. Rindikiri.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon Chairman. I stand as the Vice-Chairman of the Committee.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Oh Sorry! Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am standing here as the Vice-Chairman of the Committee. One...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) The NG-CDF Committee. My Chairman is here. One, we do not have CSR under the NG-CDF Committee or under the NG-CDF Board. What we have is what we call “best practises.” That is necessary. As you may realise, while we are blessed with different terrains...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me start by thanking all the Members who contributed last week in support of this Bill. As I had initially indicated, this is a cash crop that is currently grown in the coastal region that has all the potential...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Ahsante Mhe. Mwenyekiti wa Muda. Ninaunga mkono mabadiliko ambayo mstahiki Mwenyekiti wa Kamati anapendekeza. Kwa wakati wowote ambao unapeana wizara nafasi ambayo haijulikani mwanzo na mwisho ni lini, basi kawaida hao huchukua muda wao wakutekeleza na kuhakikisha hili jambo halifanyiki kwa muda unaofaa. 28th November...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Ahsante Mheshimiwa Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa fursa hii.

Tuna tatizo ambalo ni la kihistoria. Kama mwenzangu alivyotanguliza,...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Kimani Kuria, is out of order. Instead of contributing, he is reading through the pages of the Bill as presented by the initiators. Is he in order? He...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Is the Member in order to refer to somebody who can repair phones and generators as illiterate? What definition is he using to call that genius illiterate?
