Keynan Wehliye Adan

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a very important Bill, especially for the young, first-time Members of Parliament. Once upon a time, a one-time Member of Parliament used to be pensionable, but in the year 2000, through an omnibus Bill, the then Attorney-General brought a Bill in the wee...

Hon. Speaker, Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We have a country. The Sovereign Republic of Kenya was born out of sheer hard work of the great men and women who fought the colonialists. From their struggle, they have given us a Constitution that we have amended over the years; the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I empathise with Hon. Mohamed Adow for bringing this very important question. Equally, I also appreciate the answer that has been brought by Hon. Yegon. We can see the confused role of a Member of Parliament in this constitutional infrastructure which actually is clouded and...

I want to amplify something. I plead with the patron of the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group (PPG) . The era of lamentation is gone. Let us forget about that. The framers of the current Constitution gave us an opportunity to catch up with other Kenyans by providing the Equalisation Fund. It...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I remember when I was elected to the 8th Parliament as a young legislator, Members of Parliament were working as if Parliament was an extension of the Office of the President though constitutionally, it was one of the three arms of Government. Hon. Oloo Aringo,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As the first alumnus of Moi University to ever be elected to public office, I am shocked, dismayed and flabbergasted to see that giant institution struggling today. We must call a spade a spade. During our time, Moi University was everything in terms of infrastructure and...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, allow me to thank Hon. Mutuse for being courageous and focused. I am sure in the annals of the history of this country and the history of the 13th Parliament, Hon. Mutuse will be appreciated. Having said that, I have also gone through...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have heard that on 13th September, this month, an elected leader from one of the wards in my constituency was abducted. It is now 14 days since he was abducted. One of the platforms that the current regime campaigned on was that there would be...

It is an official letter, Hon. Speaker. I will give it to you. I will hand it over. You can counter-check. It is official. I am too old to bring anything to this House that is not properly validated. The letter states that the County Security and Intelligence Committee wished...

Thank you very much for that guidance, Hon. Speaker. I want to confirm beyond reasonable doubt that the letter comes from the County Security and Intelligence Committee. I also want to table an averment by a great Kenyan taxi driver called Wambua Kioko. It is an averment under oath. I...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was privileged to be a Member of Parliament before NG-CDF came into being. I was also privileged to see Eng. Muriuki Karue apply his creative mind and come up with this unique development initiative. I have seen what NG-CDF has done. I have represented two...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Keynan? Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a House of traditions. Hon. Kamket raised a pertinent issue directed to the Committee and to a member of the Executive. While we await the response, Members have taken...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Keynan? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yesterday, I sought a statement from the same Committee regarding the brazen, cowardly abduction and detention without trial of Hon. Yusuf Hussein, Member of County Assembly (MCA) , Eldas Constituency but,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is the august House, and we all understand the definition and meaning of an august House. You also, as a seasoned lawyer, understand what constitutes an emergency response. Here is the life of not only an ordinary citizen, but a leader who was abducted on 13th,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to make a Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (a) , I rise to give a Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 17th September to...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the mysterious disappearance and abduction of Hon. Yussuf Hussein alias “Tolfiyow”, Member of the County Assembly...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, those are semantics. The bottom line is that an elected leader is missing. Whether it is abduction or disappearance, it is a brazen attack on the rights of an individual, a citizen and an elected leader. I plead with the Chairman that Tuesday is too far. This...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, we need to get a commitment from the Chairman. He has talked about Tuesday which I totally disagree with. It is very far. We want the Chairman to bring a statement this afternoon. He is capable of doing that. We need to empathise that an elected leader...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, as you do that, can you assure this House, in the interim, that all evidence on Hon. Yussuf Hussein that is being held by… (Inaudible) I hope nobody is tampering with the ICT system here. All evidence points that Hon. Yussuf is being held by our security...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to congratulate the ranking Member, Hon. Millie. She has also been the Chair of Parliamentarians for Global Action. I appreciate Hon. Millie as a very pragmatic, astute and quintessential debater, and leader. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has just realised this, belatedly though. That being...
