On a point of… Order Hon. Bartoo. Hon. Umulkher, is your intervention on a point of order or on a point of information? On a point of information.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this issue. It is an issue that is of national interest, whenever we are in the appropriations period or allocation of funds. My current concern is that we keep on allocating funds, but budgeting is never an...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for granting me this opportunity. The issue that we are discussing today touches close to my heart because I come from a region that owns the crown of marginalisation. We might hear many people saying that they are also marginalised but it is after devolution...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I requested for a Statement on Tuesday from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation on the situation of floods and Masinga Dam overflow. You had asked him to give us a response on Thursday, today

Hon. Speaker, My apologies. I thought I raised the request for statement that I had. You are following up on an earlier statement. You had filed another statement, but we will drop it if you are not ready. I got a response from the Chairperson.

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation regarding overflow of Masinga Dam affecting downstream residents. Masinga Dam plays a crucial role in generation of hydro-electric power for...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am very much pained by this situation of floods because I come from Garissa. In as much as I am a nominated Member of Parliament, I represent the people of Garissa as well. In November last year, Masinga Dam released water which carried away...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to sympathise with the Hon. Member on this particular issue. I truly feel the impact of having to coexist with KDF soldiers in our communities. They have military bases across the country. The same case is happening even in Boni Forest. Three days...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that response. This matter is pressing to me because we have seen a lot of work that has been done by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Part of the Linda Boni Operation also encourages community engagement by supporting...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to also contribute to the matter before the Floor. I stand to support the Bill. I am a first-time nominated Member of Parliament and hence I do not have the privilege to manage this Fund, but I see the impact...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. In the same breath of NHIF cover for vulnerable people, I also want to ask the Cabinet Secretary what the benefits are for persons with invisible disabilities like autism, dyslexia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) because the cost of therapy is very high.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also wanted to ask the Cabinet Secretary a question. Is she aware that hearing equipment is not covered by the NHIF? Most of them are very expensive due to taxes. Institutions are also turning away many deaf learners. Maybe she could tell us if...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My question to the Cabinet Secretary is on the National Talent Academy on the Talanta Hela Programme. Are we just making the young players to play without having professional agents to scout them, so that they can get professional football careers? Between March and August,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to also thank the Cabinet Secretary for his great efforts in answering the questions. However, I still have an issue with the security situation in Garissa. We have gun-wielding people killing people left, right, and centre, and we have dealt with it...
