Keynan Wehliye Adan

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I take note of what Hon. TJ Kajwang’ has said. However, if we consider it alongside the response given by the Senior Counsel, the Budget-making process is a function of the entire House. The Committee system is a purely administrative issue for managing the process due to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I reflected on what to say on this very important Bill generated by my former Committee, I went back to my dictionary and looked at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In that particular diagram, the highest level is self-actualisation. In the Kenyan context today, Hon....

Hon. Speaker, I will reluctantly contribute because I know some of us are on retainers here. We have been around for some time.

I did not mention anyone. I said some Members here are on retainers. If you wish, I can name them. Order, Hon. Keynan! You are out of order. If you wish to contribute, please do so. Hon. Speaker, you know I have contributed many times here. It would not be...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not know why I left my card. Yes, it is unusual. I hardly forget. And you know that because of the length of time you have been in this House, we have to indulge you. Please proceed. It is a very rare thing....

I requested for a Statement regarding the extension of the national grid from Garissa to Wajir to Mandera. Hon. Speaker, I know at one time, as a young lawyer you worked in that part of Kenya. The answer given by the Chairman is a continuation of Sessional Paper No.10 of...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. No. We have spent 20 minutes on that Statement. Point of order, Hon. Speaker, please.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Every region or community has certain expectations from every regime. We, as Northerners, have three critical expectations from the current regime. One has been solved. It was training, recruitment and posting of teachers which has been solved by His Excellency the President. Two more critical issues...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Motion. First of all, let me appreciate...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate Hon. Faith Gitau for this great Motion. I also want to say that this Motion is a product of Hon. Faith's understanding of the history, infrastructure, and dynamics of the Republic of Kenya. I do know our forefathers, the people who fought jealously...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This is a very important issue… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : But give it a minute. Do not go beyond. Allow me this, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : I will not allow you more than a minute. Okay....

I respect Hon. Oundo because he understands. When he was raising that issue, I am sure he also knew the answer. The budget-making process is stratified in such a way that there is a Budget Policy Statement which is a wish list that encompasses every policy objective of the Executive....

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Budget and Appropriation Committee has officially submitted this comprehensive Report on the estimate of revenue and expenditure for the Financial Year 2025/2026. This pivotal Report, which is a product of the broad-based Government, was tabled on 4th June 2025, pursuant to Article 221 of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill is timely. It is timely because it brings about serious definitional clarity on the meaning of agriculture and livestock. I can see my good friend and my elder brother here, Hon. Aden Haji, who is a professional product of livestock extensions services not...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. There is a point of order. Hon. Speaker, I have heard the able Chairman of this Committee refer to Ms Fahima using the words, ‘she created the impression of being a youth’. I thought he would say that she is a youth. That...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the onset, I support the approval of these seven great Kenyans. We do not have a perfect society. That is why God, the Almighty, allowed us to submit to His will, which also provides us with rules in the form of regulations and constitutions. These...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Prof. Ngugi wa Thiong'o was an academic giant, a philosopher and thinker who encouraged Pan-Africanism, fought colonialism and also tried to reduce the influence of new colonial ideas. As Africans, particularly in the academic world, there are academicians who are called social fools. However, Ngugi...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have always supported consensus. Some of us fought hard for devolution during the countdown to the promulgation of the current Constitution. As someone who represents a constituency that has been marginalised for years. What I had in mind about the devolvement of resources when I jealously...

On a point of information. Yes, what is your point of information? Sometimes, the Standing Orders are misleading. Considering the seriousness of this issue and the answer given by the Chairman, Committees are limited in getting proper and responsive answers. Will I be right to suggest to Hon. Samuel and...

The On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) : What is your point of information, Hon. Keynan? Do you wish to be informed? In any case, he was on a point of order and therefore, you cannot inform a point of order.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, if Hon. Kiplagat accepts, he is aware that today, there was a change of leadership at TSC. I am not in any way trying to advocate or talk about the absence or presence of Hon. Melly. The long-serving Commission Secretary, Ms Nancy Macharia, has exited today and...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know we have waited for 63 years to be connected to the national grid. Therefore, waiting for seven more days is not far-fetched. It is not a big deal. The seven days will come. Hon. Temporary Speaker, you can count 63 years. However, I want to...
