Musau Robert Mbui

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think the Cabinet Secretary was very sly in avoiding to come to the House. Because he realised that …

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) That is why it is very irregular when a Chairman of the Committee is the one responding on behalf of the Executive. The report we have received is not true. They do not support transport, buying of uniforms, accommodation, or meals. Additionally, every time money...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Yes, Hon. Speaker. I would just like to confirm something. I have a question that was also to be responded to.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) I have seen that there are almost ten questions to the same Cabinet Secretary from Members across the political divide, and they are very serious. Several times, you have said that it is one of the Ministries with the most questions asked in this House....

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani,WDM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2025) . As has been said, after this House passed the Division of Revenue Bill, which determines the amount that will be given out to the counties,...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, Members cannot be named without a substantive Motion. He has named my Senator. He must withdraw that!

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also condemn, in the strongest terms possible, the destruction of property and infrastructure. However, we must be careful. When you look at the way this Motion is worded, we seem more concerned about damaged property. We are not talking about...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, the Motion is very clear. It does not talk about 60 people who were killed last year, and 10 people who were killed yesterday. It only talks about the destruction of property. It is very important to be careful about this issue.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Minority Party knows we also lost people from our region during those demonstrations. This is not about tribe. We have to be careful not to trivialise a serious issue. My concern is that this regime curtails rights that are...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) You said they should not come to Parliament.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) We laid the wreaths at the fence, on the barbed wire that barricades Parliament. How does a Member then wake up and say that it is wrong for my party leader to commemorate and mourn those who were killed across the country? Let us not...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Finance Bill is not being tabled today; it has been around. What is being tabled today is the Report of the Committee.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Members of Parliament and the public have been discussing the Finance Bill, so that uncomfortable contents in the Bill would be removed. I wanted to clarify that. Hon. Speaker, just before the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning comes into the Chamber,...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) I second. (Hon. Jematiah Sergon stood along the aisle)

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Yes, Hon. Speaker, I did, and I was extremely disappointed because there were no solutions to the problems facing our children. Any nation that does not take the education of its children seriously is on the wrong trajectory. Remember even our forefathers identified ignorance as...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I only have one concern on the National Police Service (NPS) budget. In June last year and June of this year, the NPS spent taxpayers’ money to kill our youths. This time, they have also killed Mr Albert Ojwang’. Even as we appropriate money for the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Report of the Committee showed questions by the Departmental Committee on Education. I also had a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for Education last week, and he complained about the amount of money being provided for capitation. Can the Chairman of the Committee confirm...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : What is out of order, Hon. Mbui? It is just an observation, Hon. Temporary Chairman. When you put the question, at the point of “Aye”, you were louder than “Nay”. You have to regulate the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Vote on medical services. You are all aware that health is a devolved function. I saw a number of health centres in the Second Schedule that seem to be set up for construction. I want to...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to the Budget Estimates of the 2025/2026 Financial Year. I want to briefly comment on this year’s Budget, noting that it has gone up to Ksh4.2399 trillion, which is quite higher than the previous year, and it keeps...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You are very gracious. I want to finish by saying that I looked at the Second Schedule, and some of the things I saw are quite shocking. It is about the sharing of resources. Some of us come from an...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Yes.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Petition by the Member representing the people of Kuria. The issue of land has been a thorn in the flesh of this country. In fact, we not only have the TJRC Report that he talked...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am the one moving this Motion. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House annuls in entirety the Prevention of Terrorism (Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on the Suppression of Terrorism) Regulations, 2024,...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have read it out exactly as it is printed.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Yes, it was already moved.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Thank you. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, this House annuls in entirety the Prevention of Terrorism (Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on the Suppression of Terrorism) Regulations for failure to comply with the Constitution, the Statutory Instruments Act (Cap....

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I wish you could go back to the record. I have read, “Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that this House annuls…”

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Oh, I am sorry. 24th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 40

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) That statement is completely missing from the Report.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Prevention of Terrorism (Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on the Suppression of Terrorism) Regulations,...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Almost every day, we see county governors on television complaining about delayed disbursement of money, or saying that the money given to them is not enough. Shockingly, the same governors go beyond the mandate assigned to them by the Constitution -...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, before I ask my Question, allow me to advise the Cabinet Secretary. When engaging with Members of this House, who are the people’s representatives, let him be advised that such engagement should never ever be an exercise of public relations. Everything he says...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I am raising a concern that concerns the Cabinet Secretary on a Question I raised here last year on the preparedness of Grade 9 classes in the country. The Cabinet Secretary came to the House then and said he would be ready by...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) On today’s matter, I want the Cabinet Secretary to:

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary has alluded to the part of the question on the number of slots allocated to each constituency. He has made reference to a document. Is it possible for me to get it so that I can look at it because...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I might not have much to follow up on because he said he has already presented the information I have requested for. I need to go through it. However, there is a critical part which concerns the recruitment of teachers. I would like...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I had a statement, and it was scheduled to be...

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) I arrived with you.

Hon. Robert Mbui (Kathiani, WDM) Hon. Speaker, my microphone was not working. I want to agree with the Leader of the Minority Party that as this team starts off their work, they should do a good job for Kenya and ensure that when the process is finished, they implement the...
