I listened very keenly to the Statement by the Leader of the Majority Party and it is not carrying detailed 3rd August 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 17 Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM)information about this issue. Even though he has...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to say something. I stand under Standing Order No.95. Will I be in order to ask the Mover to be called upon to reply? The Question should be put to the House to decide. (Laughter)

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a House of procedure. As you have said very well, a document tabled by a Member must have a letterhead and be authenticated. Allow me to ask you a question as the Speaker presiding over this House now. How...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am on a point of order. The Member from Kipkelion West is not a new Member. I would not keep quiet the way I would if new Members learning the ropes would have spoken that way. This is a Member...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) This is a House of records. He alleges that taxes amounting to Ksh70,000 was collected from a Senator. We have the Standing Order on relevance. What relevance has that to do with police brutality, unless he is the lead goon who was instructing those...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My time is running out. The most shocking thing in our country is that the more things change, the more they remain the same.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me proceed.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) I want to be informed by Hon. Millie who has some information, with your indulgence, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, a lot of my time has been consumed. Let us agree on one thing as a nation: if we do not want Article 37 of the Constitution, let us do a constitutional amendment and repeal it. But so long as that...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, my point of order is, with tremendous respect to the Leader of the Majority Party, he is alluding there were people ferried to Kitengela. My question is what kind of inept and useless government is he running not to know people...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker…

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Can I say something? If I was to listen to what the Leader of the Majority Party is saying, there are people who have been ferried to Kitengela to maim people. The question I want to ask in this House today is: who ferried...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Is it not the same people who ferried people to Kitengela? I am reliably informed that it is the people in Government who were ferrying people. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 95. Will I be in order to ask that the Mover be called upon to reply? This matter has been debated since yesterday. We should move to the next business.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation the following Question: What informed or misinformed the decision to change the work from North Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency to Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency, which is...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) It is from Lake Victoria North Water Works Development Agency to the new entity. What informed that decision? Is it vendor-driven? What is the intention?

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I want to ask a supplementary question in the form that: Many irrigation schemes have been started in different parts of the country, and even where I come from there is Lower Kuja Irrigation Scheme. Hon. Speaker, since all those irrigation schemes...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary has said that my question is unfortunate. My question is very simple.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, in relation to Rongo where I am the neighbour, I want to inform the Cabinet Secretary that Rongo Constituency and the whole of Migori County does not have any sewer line since Independence. In the last census, there is a county that...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence on a matter. When Cabinet Secretaries come here, most of their answers to Questions are, “you can visit us in the office.” We do not want to visit their offices. We want answers here in Parliament. This is...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank the Cabinet Secretary for the answer he has provided to this Question. We are aware that people in the previous regime wanted to steal this land from EMCO and the matter came to this House. What the Cabinet Secretary...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Yes, 200 houses in every constituency. I think they will be for civil servants. My question is: Where are you going to find the land in the constituencies, especially in Nairobi? My constituency does not have free land. All the land belongs to the...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) On a point of order.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not know whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware that there is a letter written by one R.J. Simiyu, subdividing the same land to people, dated 16th May 2023. He has just said that the land belongs to the people...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand to support Hon. Bady Twalib. John is his real name. Firstly, I want to bring to the attention of the House that petitions are very important. They are not like Ordinary Questions. I want the Committee that is in...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) We mention them? No, let us spare the Committee to do that work. Let those businessmen be told to vacate the road. The road is going to be used by all Kenyans. Mombasa is a small island and people in that town will suffer...

Hon. Junet Mohammed (Suna East, ODM) I stand to support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Devolution is what is going to change this country. When the new Constitution brought in devolution, changes have been seen in the villages and in small towns in the counties. There...

Hon. Junet Mohammed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, this is a very important Bill as you said. It is a very important Bill that many Kenyans have been waiting for. Now that we are seized of the Bill, I want to urge the House to look at this Bill critically....

Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM)As you directed, we discussed this in the House Business Committee. There is a lot of business before us, but Kenyans must know that Members...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, the cardinal responsibility of this House in Article 95 of the Constitution is to legislate. We must stop anything that impedes that in this House. The Members here have amendments to the Finance Bill. However, they have been told that under Article...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Chairlady, I wanted to speak on Clause 9 which you have already passed. However, so that we avoid voting, if somebody is tired they can go home and sleep. We want to deal with this matter properly and perpendicularly.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Chairlady, when we are legislating here, we are doing that for all Kenyans whether you are rich, poor, middle level or whatever. You can only be sure of how much tax you need to pay after an assessment on your books. What Hon....
