Keynan Wehliye Adan

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am a Member of the Committee, and this Bill has come at a time when this country is faced with many challenges. The insurance sector is critical to our economic stability by providing financial security against risks and uncertainties. That is the very basic...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Culture Bill that has been introduced by the Leader of the Majority Party seeks to promote, preserve and institutionalise Kenya's rich and diverse cultural heritage. At the core of the Bill, it proposes the establishment of the National Cultural Heritage Council, a specialised body...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to delve a bit into the history of this particular Article. During the countdown to the current Constitution, there were three contending groups. One group led by the late President Mwai Kibaki and cohort, wanted a pure presidential system. Another group led by...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had the privilege of interacting with Mr and Mrs Cheptumo as legal practitioners, long before he joined politics. I found him down to earth and a brilliant legal practitioner. I also had the privilege of being with him in Parliament from 2007 as a representative...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I join my colleagues in commending the President for the manner in which he approached the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson election this year. I also appreciate the amazingly gingerly manner in which Hon. Raila Odinga exhibited himself after the loss. The Odingas have always...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, Audit Committees play a very important role in safeguarding the public interest. I request that the House Business Committee fast-track all the pending reports of the Audit Committees because that is the only way to assess whether the public gets value for money. These should not be...

I second. (Loud consultations)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Luckily… (Loud consultations) Order. Let us hear one another in silence. If you really want to get a reasoned ruling from the Speaker, let us hear one another. Hon. Speaker, this is a House of rules and traditions. This is a House that enjoys being a...

Hon. Speaker, unless this question is determined, pursuant to Standard Order 171, we are looking at a crisis, which can only be sorted out with the proper guidance from the Speaker. This state of affairs portends a crisis for the House. We want your guidance, pursuant to Standing Order 171,...

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Report. Diplomacy is, by definition, the art, science, and other means states use to interact with other nations to safeguard their national interests. That being the case, modern-day diplomacy was born out of the Vienna Convention of...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Kitur, you have one minute after a point of order by Hon. Keynan. What is out of order, Hon. Keynan? Ideally, Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is nothing that is out of order, but I have heard the words ‘abduction’ and ‘disappearances’...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The institution of NG-CDF and the framers of that law have freed Parliament from the yoke of the Presidency and marginalisation by members of the Executive. Before we enacted NG-CDF, a Member of Parliament was a pauper - the most disadvantaged. He was not respected...

She is asking me to thank you. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. By tradition, you should have started with her. You are out of order, Hon. Keynan. I was just reminding you of the tradition. (Loud consultations) Hon. Members, keep consultations to the minimum. The history and evolution of the...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Order, Leader of the Minority Party. What is out of order, Hon. Keynan? (Laughter) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Junet and I come from Mandera. That is our birthplace. The person who has the first right over you is the one who mentors...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am a Member of the Committee and I want to talk directly to my colleagues. We are reeling from the effects of the Gen-Z activities. We need to allow the small businesses, including the banks, to recoup and position themselves in a manner that they can...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I just wanted to say one thing. Just give him the microphone because of rank. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning Committee and I can see the whole House is in a celebratory mood. But I think...
