Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the line reads “stabilisation”. As I said, very well, the Stabilisation Fund is supposed to come from the Petroleum Development Fund.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon Temporary Chairman, we are dealing with a supplementary budget and not the main Budget of June/July. The Ksh8 billion is not small money. Can the Chairperson be clear on what the increment entails? He cannot just talk about Ewaso Ng’iro South and North...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) What did I say that is wrong?

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you for protecting me, Hon. Temporary Speaker. If the President and his Government are relying on advice from Hon. Baya, things will get worse going forward. I expect him, as a leader, to tell the President that he is wrong on this one....

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is one of the most dangerous missions the Government of the Republic of Kenya has ever sent outside this country. Numbers do not lie. The statistics are very clear. About 2,400 people were killed in Haiti by guns,...
