Mugambi Murwithania Rindikiri

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have looked at the Bill and noticed that it has met the threshold of what is required for it to be presented in this House for deliberations. I join the other Members in supporting the Bill. One note of...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. How are we allocating more money without a framework? There is money that is deposited into the Consolidated Fund. We need a framework to guide how to withdraw money from that Fund. There must be a law, but this Bill...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Yes. Eng. Gachagua has raised a very important issue for discussion in this House. In my opinion, KeNHA is quite unresponsive. There have been numerous questions posed in this House, and we have witnessed fatalities on our transnational highways, yet this organisation has taken no...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to congratulate Hon. Mary Wamaua because this Bill has come at the right time. So many Bills are seeking to amend the Education Act and the TSC. However, since this one has come earlier, I will make my...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Committee. The CEO of the EACC will fight corruption that is perpetuated by Kenyans of all origins. Let us not look at Mr Abdi as being from a certain region. We should...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, what Hon. Junet is saying is that he is not going to seek an elective position in Mandera where he came from, if I got him right. I am sure that he was implying that. He would not go to Mandera or...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA)Than you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. By raising the threshold from Ksh1 million to Ksh5 million, we are accommodating the thriving businesses, majority of whom are start-ups and small-scale entrepreneurs. If we put them on the same scale, the vatable criteria, it means that the majority of...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me contribute to this issue of standards among our education institutions, more so in the boarding primary and secondary schools. One of the problems I have encountered is the lack of a clear standard to qualify institutions to operate boarding...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am concerned about the new entrants, and those who would like to start a business. If we are going to legislate and come up with a law that takes a certain volume of capital, and there are new up-coming, we need...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Give him the microphone. I know we are rushing through something that is ... Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) We are making what I call a principle. That does not...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. The payment of tax is everybody's obligation. In this country, we finance our activities through taxes. So, it is important to ensure that we have an effective and efficient system of tax collection and...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) No, Hon. Speaker. I, however, thank the Cabinet Secretary, but I have a question. Right now, I have connected my Fund Manager with the Vice-Chairman and he tells me that all the money for the last financial year have been disbursed. However, my Fund Manager...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Speaker, as you put it, I am very strict with the work of my Fund Manager. I have never doubted her. That is why I said they should speak to the Vice-Chairman. She has confirmed that we have no outstanding approvals. Everything is done...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I have listened to the Mover of this Bill. I am very highly impressed by the Committee. They took time to listen to the members of the public. They analysed their views. We have 3rd December 2024...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. That is the best thing. We have a habit of people coming late only to invoke Standing Order 95. This is a very important Report. I refuse to be disrupted. I have gathered a few things relating to this Report....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This Statement is very important. His Excellency the President has been talking about ICT hubs, but the Ministry is letting him down, yet this is one of his flagship projects. There is a bit of disconnect between the constituency offices...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) This is a very important amendment because many organisations are very insensitive to the welfare of workers. We have even seen many people pass on. When they go to claim their final dues, they are told there were no submissions of statutory deductions. This amendment...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) This is very important because I have seen many foreigners taking advantage of this clause the way it was before. Up to or less than can mean anything up to Ksh100,000. The Committee brought this at the best time when we have seen so many...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you for this opportunity. Our children deserve education. The lucky ones like Hon. Charles Nguna whose parents took them to school early enough to be ready for university at the age of 17 years need to be 28th November 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 34...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am an alumnus of the same university. What we are witnessing now is deterioration of various universities, including Moi University, and it often all starts like this. We should arrest the situation now at “The University of Nairobi” before it...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the nominees. Hon. Jaldesa was my colleague and neighbour. My constituency borders Isiolo County. I know her very well. We both served on the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. We have been together on occasion...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, we need to be very careful about the terminologies that we use to refer to one another in the House. I am not a man. I am a Member of Parliament. I am speaking as a Member of Parliament. I am not...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) No. She has said: “I have heard a man in this House”.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) I support the Chairman of the Committee. I was here during the deliberations, and it came out very clearly. The problem we have is that we think that having so many papers make one a very good manager. The position of CEO is a managerial...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I join my colleagues in supporting this Report. Just like my colleagues have said, it is high time we understood the difference between the national Government and county governments. Why do I say so? On a daily...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is an emotive issue. We are agreeing to the mediated version that the county governments should not coerce this National Assembly and the national Government to agree to other sidekicks as they claim with the issue of NG-CDF....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) This is a very important amendment by Prof. Oundo. One of the biggest problems we are experiencing right now in this sector is when unqualified people get to the office, and they are supposed to deliberate very sensitive matters. They represent very many farmers, and...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) : Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. That machine needs to be looked at. I stand to comment on the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya. His Excellency the President demonstrated leadership. A good leader always listens...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the issue of gazettement of hardship areas came up sometime this year and the Speaker ruled that it is emotive because almost every constituency had raised the same issue of being gazetted as a hardship area. I am sure that my memory...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. I really appreciate the focus of the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health. However, there are some clarifications that Kenyans need to be told. On

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is a month since the process started. The numbers are not that big. We must tell Kenyans the truth because people think that the Government is not working. The Government is working, but something is not right at the...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Chairperson should clarify who will cover the costs for the officers and their locations. He has provided the contact information, but we need clarification on who is responsible for the costs and where these officers are based.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Member has gone back again to her argument. She is bringing up the same matter. We do not manage the NG-CDF. She is completely out of Order. I wish she could listen to Hon. Millie Odhiambo. Please listen to Hon. Millie...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I come from an agricultural constituency where we grow largescale flowers and horticultural products for export. Meru and Kirinyaga are among the highest counties with registered high levels of cases of cancer. Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary spoke about carrying out...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you. I really want to congratulate the Cabinet Secretary because I think he has come out well in trying to answer what the Government is doing to enhance the performance of agriculture and also considering the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) of our economy....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Could the Ministry, please, look at the element of seeds and seedlings for crops and even grass for animal feed?

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This Bill, short as it is, is addressing a very important function and responsibility of KRA in terms of the development of a curriculum in consultation with other institutions. I agree with the function in the proposed new sub-section (2B)...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, since you are the sitting Speaker, you have an obligation to inform the Speaker who will be on the Chair on Monday to alter the Calendar for that day. I do not believe it is the responsibility of the Chairperson per se....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) This Bill is important to an extent that the activities of that day can be amended by the House Business Committee to accommodate it. In as much as the Chief Whip wants to inform me, he is part and parcel of the House Business Committee...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) It is very unfortunate, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) It is very unfortunate that we have a dad, husband, Member of Parliament and a brother bringing that kind of allegation. I am an old man, not by age but by wisdom. I urge my very good friend, Hon. Bady, to maintain the dignity of...
