Keynan Wehliye Adan

Yes. Give Hon. Keynan the microphone. Hon. Speaker, I stand to speak as a person who participated in drafting, formulating, and adopting the Constitution. There is a reason the framers decided to have special seats for our ladies. It did not come out of the blue. It came as a...

Hon. Speaker, will I be right to empathise with our good sisters now that you have adjudicated? We are all in agreement, and you have given direction. I want to appeal to them not to externalise this matter. Please, let them remain and be part of us. We all empathise...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Garissa University is the only university in the entire region of Northern Kenya. You are also familiar with the history and the circumstances of that university. I do not need to belabour this. By now, I thought the university would almost be a publicly funded university...

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding the extension of the national power grid from Garissa to Wajir

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Addressing historical injustices was one of the reasons for the agitation for the promulgation of the Constitution. As a country, we must not be afraid to make certain decisions that will be critical in improving our image and adding value to our diversity, representing the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The answer given by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health is comprehensive. But as usual, most of it is theoretical. The Kala-azar outbreak is not a matter of yesterday. It has been there for years. I am sure in your other life as a...

Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.44 (2) (c) , to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding progress made in tarmacking of the Wajir-Griftu- Eldas-Buna-Bute-Moyale-Ethiopia (A14) International Trunk Road managed by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) . The...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Motion. Diplomacy is defined as the art, science, and means by which nations and groups conduct their affairs in a way that projects the image of a particular country. This is done in a way that promotes and protects the...

What is out of order?

I have no doubt that she has been… (Hon. Gathoni Wamuchomba spoke off the record)

Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Wamboka is my good friend. I said that I support her nomination. I am only trying to expand her job description. I support her nomination as our representative to UN-Habitat, but I am trying to draw an analogy because I am a consumer. Order, Hon. Members....

I have expectations from these individuals who have been appointed to these positions. I want to mention ten expectations of Hon. Adan Keynan as a Member of Parliament of Eldas and the longest-serving Member of Parliament. These are my expectations:

Hon. Temporary Speaker, with due respect to my good Chairman, I talked about the projected GDP. I get you. I will go ahead to my fifth expectation. Order, Hon. Junet. Do not create a small fish market in the House. Proceed, Hon. Keynan. (Laughter) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I confirm that...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have known the Cheptumos for quite some time. They have acted for me on certain matters before they joined Parliament. I know Hanna and I also knew the late Senator. Anybody can vouch for them. They are extremely honest and pragmatic. Her statements on...

Hon. Speaker, today is a great day. The person presiding over this Chamber is an astute and all-rounded politician. The Cabinet Secretary is also an astute politician, now wearing a different hat as a member of the Executive. The audience here consists entirely of politicians. But luckily there must come...

Hon. Speaker, I want my colleagues to listen to me. The NG-CDF did not come out of the blues. It was a product of well-calculated evaluation by the Members who were there and tired of manipulation by the then Executive. You are aware that even Parliament was a department under...

Hon. Speaker, it is high time we called a spade a spade. The Butere girls or children who were participating in the drama festival are victims of politics. We all understand the structure of our education system. There must be a drama master. There is a drama club, a drama...

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation regarding the status of the Wajir Water and Sewerage system project. Access to clean and sustainable water...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I apologise for coming in late. I rise to request a Statement regarding the Kala-azar Virus Outbreak in Wajir County, particularly in my Constituency, Eldas and Wajir West. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request a Statement...

On a light touch, in addition to being the Chairperson of this Committee, Hon. (Dr) Nyikal has been the Permanent Secretary in that Ministry and a Professor in that key department. By the grace of God, he is now a Member of Parliament and the Chairperson of that Committee. Therefore,...

I am just riding on what you have said. No. Proceed with the Statement. I stand guided. Allow me to start afresh. I rise to request a Statement regarding the Kala-azar Virus Outbreak in Wajir County, particularly in my Constituency, Eldas and the larger Wajir West—which I had the privilege...

Okay. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to request a Statement.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I expected a bit of empathy and appreciation from this able Professor. As we speak, I do not want to sound like an alarmist, but we have lost over 30 people whom we can confirm. I plead with the Professor through you. You can even respond to...

But it is good to set the record straight because, with a lot of respect, the Member was not listening. I said there is a Kala-azar Virus outbreak in Wajir County, which is transmitted by sandflies. (Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose spoke off the record) Let us not go into the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Janet was a very strong, resilient, and pragmatic leader. She was born to a pastoralist family. You understand the challenges she faced going to school at that time and providing leadership later on. It is a clear demonstration that disability is not inability. I join...
