Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am wondering whether Hon. Masara is in the House.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the record of Parliament and this House, we had shared the response with Hon. Masara. It is about the Migori Bridge and I think it will be in order as I table this response, I let them know that the works have been contracted and the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, in summary, the bridge was undermined by much rain. The bridge substructure was undermined, but the bridge itself remains intact. The Ministry has done the following regarding the work Hon. Masara has requested. The work delayed because the water level stayed high for long and the Ministry...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the procurement process has commenced. The only thing that we can do is what is urgent. Secondly, the suggestion by Hon. Masara that this construction be moved from the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure to the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations will subsequently...

I cannot agree more. I am one of the converted souls who believe that the northern frontier, together with our oceans and lakes, is the next development area of our region. We should create all the infrastructure around them to move our country forward. I commit to the Member that...

Also, for clarity, the Executive Order released last year put security roads as part of the functions of the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. It is the implementing agency, while the Ministry of Roads and Transport remains responsible for classifying roads. We can look at security, the road sector,...

Yes. Much obliged.

Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We will respond in two weeks’ time.

Hon. Speaker, as I stand to second this Motion, it is no doubt that there are disruptions in the supply of commodities and fuel across the world, and in particular, the sections of our continent. [The Speaker (Hon. Moses Wetang’ula) left the Chair] Firstly, is the question of investment in...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, Bureti Constituency is one of the tea-growing regions of this country, situated in the west of the Rift Valley. I agree with the recommendations of the Committee. However, I want to highlight the concerns of farmers from the west of the Rift Valley. It is...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this Report was on inquiry into the pricing of tea in Kenya. Order! The allegations are I have raised that issue because farmers are raising concerns. This Report needed to have come out conclusively and openly for it to be trusted. If you do not raise a...

Finally, I am raising an issue on the management of the Tea Board of Kenya.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You see, this Report clearly states that there is “West of Rift” and “East of Rift,” and that was the basis for the enquiry. Therefore, it cannot be ignored. That is the prevalence here. Yes. Finally, there is the question of recommendation number three: that...

Thank you. Could we give a response a week after recess? We can invite the Member in that meeting. You can send out the request for a Statement to the relevant ministry now then it will be available by the time we come back from recess. Most obliged.

Two weeks.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We will respond together with the other request for a Statement in two weeks’ time.

Yes, Hon. Speaker. When can you bring a response? In two weeks, Hon. Speaker. I am also being reminded that some of the Questions, like Hon. Kitur’s Question, lapsed in the last session whereas we had a response for it already. We will consolidate them and submit them in two...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to eulogise Hon. David Kiaraho. An architect and a very dedicated Member of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure, with whom we served in this House. Hon. Kiaraho was a beautiful soul; an intellect in his work. He was a man who...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to be a part of the discourse in supporting Sessional Paper No. 6 that was presented by the able Chairman, Hon. GK Kariuki, Member for Ndia. We must come to terms with the sectors that this country needs to develop. As...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill that raises several critical issues affecting our country's education sector. Today, I stand at a crossroads: whether to support Hon. Mejjadonk’s proposal for total separation or to propose improvements to this Bill to address some generic and pertinent issues....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to welcome the beautiful girls and their teachers who are in both the Speaker's and the Public galleries. They are here to see for themselves the discourse that is happening in the House of Parliament. On behalf of this House, we...
