Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Kenya Sign Language Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. The Bill is co-sponsored by Senator Crystal Asige and I. This is because there are many challenges affecting the deaf community, particularly regarding the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to thank every Member who contributed on this Bill. I appreciate them on behalf of every deaf member of our society who is watching debate on this Bill keenly. This is because the Bill was drafted with the support and commitment of the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (C) , I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation regarding the allocation and implementation of the Universal Service Fund (USF) . The Universal Service Fund was established...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to thank the Chair of the Committee and on behalf of the Committee, I appreciate that detailed report. But I am a bit concerned because I have sat down with the families of Mr Abdirizak Yale. I was actually with the father yesterday....

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hold on, Hon. Tongoyo. Yes, Hon. Harun. What is your Point of Order? Hon. Speaker, we also raised similar questions about missing persons with this same Committee. I have three cases and a pending report. In the last Session, you had ordered the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this matter. This is a timely amendment Bill, as it supports the independence of our county assemblies and county governments, allowing them to operate efficiently. The biggest challenge currently facing Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) is having...

I get your point, Hon. Temporary Speaker. However, my point was on the vision of the county governments. Devolution was intended to allow resources to trickle down to the counties and to promote the independence of marginalised regions. Corruption has resulted in governors who run everything without consultation and with...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Okay. Hon. Speaker: Get the response, Hon. Murugara. Is Hon. Beatrice Adagala in the House? Yes, Hon. Gikaria. Do you have a response for Hon. Keynan?

Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the disappearance of one Mr Abdirizak Mohamed Yale. On 28th September 2023, Mr Abdirizak Mohamed Yale of...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to add my voice. I think it is a critical time for the country, especially when we are doing such allocations. Departments like the Ministry of Health are very critical for mothers across the country. Right now, we have a crisis of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have heard the apology of Hon. Mpuru Aburi. We spoke on the phone on the same day when the incident happened. I had asked him not to share that clip because I am a Member of Parliament who has guarded her integrity. The incident that...

Hon. Speaker, I am very grateful that you have considered my misbehaviour and indecency, and acknowledged that it is not reflective of the image of this House. However, I also know the female Member of Parliament. It is very painful because she shared it with a blogger, and was bragging...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to comment on this matter. The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) issue in our communities has become a serious crisis. Last week, I had a request for a Statement on the same issue, where Abdullah Yusuf was killed by the KDF in...

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 Justice and Legal Affairs regarding the status of prosecution of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officer, Mr Hassan Muse Mire, accused of murdering...
