Keynan Wehliye Adan

Thank you,

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I went to Garbatula High School which is not very far from Kula Mawe. We used to take almost three days to travel from Isiolo to Garbatula. The road was almost impassable, when it rained. Since Independence in 1963, one group of Kenyans has been enjoying the...

I am on a point of order. He does not understand the procedures of the House. When we were in school, we used to define tarmac as a black substance. (Hon. David Ochieng’ consulted Hon. Deputy Speaker) I want to get the attention of Hon. Deputy Speaker. When we were...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Division of Revenue Bill 2025 has come at a time— I am sure most Members are not aware— when the Supreme Court – and I want the Chairman to listen – made a decision a few days ago on the initiation, origination and passage...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The terms “hardship” and “hardship allowance” have been abused over the years. I request for your protection from my good neighbours. (Several Members consulted loudly) Okay. You are protected. Hon. Speaker, the terms “hardship” and “hardship allowance” have been abused, just as Sessional Paper No.10 of...

Hon. Speaker, this is one of the Houses of Parliament. Of late, the picture out there is that the National Assembly is not working as expected. That notion has created a bit of a lacuna to the extent that the other House takes on everything and anything that comes across...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is a very important Commission, especially considering the many challenges, such as gender-based violence, and the issues that are facing our girls. We need to feel the presence of this Commission in all counties. I hope that what we have experienced over the last...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the JSC is the administrative arm of our justice system. We must fund them so that they can hold the judges and other judicial officers to account, and play their constitutional role effectively. I support. (Programme 0619000 agreed to) (Vote 2051 agreed to) VOTE 2041 – PARLIAMENTARY...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) plays a very important role in the welfare of the Members of Parliament and members of staff. At times, when I look at the newspaper, it is like they assume Members do not exist. There is nothing to fear. It is a...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, we need to think out of the box. The Senate is one of the Houses of Parliament. Over the years, we have had serious jurisdictional conflict. In my mind, and as a person who has been around, there is no harm in funding the Senate. As long...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I welcome the students to this august House. This is where key decisions concerning this country are made. I am sure you are not only the future leaders, but also the present leaders.

Welcome. Go to a place where they can see you giving them words of encouragement. Okay, there you go. They can see you. Proceed. Ahsante, Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Leo nitazungumza kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Ningependa kuwakaribisha wanafunzi kutoka Kaunti ya Machakos. Hapa ni Nyumba ambayo sheria inaundwa. Mkiwa wanafunzi...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, in the past, the Budget Policy Statement was the most guarded secret document in the entire country, which gave relevance to professional hoarders and illegal traders. Luckily, courtesy of the current Constitution, this BPS is the precursor to the main Budget-making process. The Budget-making process is a...

Not in Dadaab, yet you are retiring. Yes. What will be the legacy? I have served in Wajir West, and now Eldas. I am still struggling to have the first kilometre of a tarmacked road in Eldas. We must face these realities. Somebody else has tarmacked every bit of his...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. (Laughter) Hon. Keynan, what is out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, is it in order for Hon. Baya to use the Floor of this House to demean and downgrade critical national institutions like Moi University and Egerton University, while our role as...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. By definition, supplementary is used to address unexpected and unavoidable circumstances. I see people questioning because a Government is a system. In fact, in some jurisdictions, some of these developed countries have supplementary estimates almost every month. It is not a surprise. It is not...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, that debate we are having right now reminds me of the three Cs: Christianity, Commerce, and Civilisation, which is part of the legacy of our colonial history, but that will be a debate for another day. I am sure that Hon. Okello and Hon. Atandi might be...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Keynan? Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is about the NG-CDF. The issue of NG-CDF is serious. It is a very serious issue. You remember how we fought very hard to have a Fund that was independent...

Hon. Speaker, I am glad because Hon. Otiende Amollo was part of the drafters of the Constitution 2010. I believe he still has some of the notes that led to the inclusion of the Senate in it. The Senate that I had in mind, the one that came later on...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. A police officer is a law enforcement officer. Pursuant to Article 243 of the Constitution, the functions of the National Police Service include:

Hon. Speaker, allow me to join this debate, which has two aspects. I am glad that, today, the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party have agreed on one thing; that this House has been reduced to a House of lamentations. Once upon a time,...

Unfortunately, that is where we are. Some of them are going public to say that Members of Parliament have no role in county affairs. I urge my colleagues that there comes a time when people must be ready to make hard decisions. We need to do both summative and formative...
