Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, when Members come to the House, they really want to sit on the chairs. However, when they finally get the opportunity to sit on them, their buttocks cannot hold. They just want to run out. I do not know what they are...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have moved a Motion concerning what happened yesterday in our beloved country. We were all in the country, yesterday. We had a Sitting in the Morning, where we passed very important business of the country. As explicitly written in...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, why do I say so? The media of this country tells us that the demonstrations were organised by Gaucho and by Matakwei. They also tell us that the demonstrations were organised by Hon. Sakaja. They do not tell us the real culprits;...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I want to tell Hon. Muhia that there was no destruction of property in Homa Bay, Kisumu and Kisii. However, there was destruction of property in Nyeri, Nyandarua, Kikuyu and Nyamakima. That tells us who the 26th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) I want to say that this country has a Constitution and a Government. The Government of the Republic of Kenya and the Constitution must ensure that every citizen’s life and property is protected. We have an election in 2027 and not before then. If...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon Speaker, Hon. Kaguchia was the Speaker for Nyeri County Assembly. This is the National Assembly of Kenya. It is a different arena and place. There are people in this country who are hell-bent to take this country to anarchy, just because we impeached...

Hon. Junet Mohamed I beg to move, Hon. Speaker. I request the Leader of the Majority Party, His Eminence, His Highness, the Kingpin of Mount Kenya, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, to second the Motion. (Applause) 26th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 16

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

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Is my Deputy, who is not behaving very well, in order to mislead the House that during demonstrations, we only lost 10 or 60 people, when he knows very well that we were with him with sufurias on our heads and we lost over...

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

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Kibagendi says this was a Gen. Zs demonstration. Could he share with the House his experience in organising the one in Kisii County? He was the supervisor and organiser of that.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) I donate a minute to Hon. (Dr) Gogo, Hon. Cherorot and the Member for Ol Kalou. (Loud consultations)

Junet Mohamed? Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, as the Minority side… (A Member...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the Supplementary Estimates were tabled in this House in good time. Members had enough time to scrutinise it. The Committee also had enough time under the able Chairmanship of Hon. Atandi. If Hon. Makali was busy coordinating and supervising other functions,...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, thank you for your guidance. This is a very serious matter and it is good that Parliament is seized of it. We have faith in the Committee to bring us a very detailed report on what happened. This is a young man...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, the Report on the Finance Bill was tabled just a few seconds ago.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Once it is tabled, it becomes a public document. We urge the citizenry and our colleagues to read the Report because there are three or four versions of the Finance Bill in the country. Everybody is talking about his own Finance Bill. Some will...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, in line with your well written Communication, this is the first time such an incident has happened in the precincts of Parliament; where there was an altercation and the person recording the video is an Hon. Member of the House. All along...

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

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I would like to come to the aid of Hon. Farah. As you know, Hon. Farah is the ‘Akuku Danger’ of northern Kenya. (Laughter)

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker: Yes, Hon. Junet. Hon. Speaker, I wanted to bring something to your attention. Before we went for recess, you gave indication that you would rule when we come back. It is on the issue of the Supreme Court’s judgement on the...

Hon. Speaker, I wish to bring to your attention a matter that is important to this House regarding how this Parliament operates. A ruling was made today concerning a matter pending before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) . This is a House of procedure, traditions, and precedence, as...

On a point of order, Hon. Chairlady.

Hon. Chairlady, I wish to reiterate what the Leader of the Majority Party has said that Members need to take note that both the legislative arm of the Government and the Judiciary will be reporting to the EACC. This is a very serious policy change. The way I see it,...

Hon. Chairlady, I also want to add my voice to it. I do not know how we are legislating for the future. That ‘if someone will have a conflict Conflict of Interest of interest in the future’. I do not think this clause has any meaning other than making things...

On a point of order, Hon. Chairlady.

Hon. Chairlady, it must go on record that we opposed this Memorandum. Considering the last two clauses, the former and this one, we can see that this is not a Kenyan Bill honestly. It is an affront to all African cultures and values to say that if your relative who...

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

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East) Hon. Speaker, I wanted to bring something to your attention. Before we went for recess, you gave indication that you would rule when we come back. It is on the issue of the Supreme Court’s judgement on the operations of the bicameral Parliament.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East) When do you think you can rule? Remember there is also a Money Bill, the County Assemblies Pensions Scheme Bill, which originated in the Senate.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East) You stepped it down so that you could deal with that matter accordingly.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East) Lastly, I wanted to bring to the attention of Hon. Members what the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has just tabled – the President’s Memorandum on the Conflict of Interest Bill (National Assembly Bill No.12 of 2023) , and the...

This matter that has been raised by Hon. Daudi is very important. The so-called regulations say that if you are to fly from here to Migori, you must seek permission from the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Emergencies can happen; anything can happen. Before the new Constitution came into...

Hon. Speaker, let me educate my colleague Leader. Under the new Constitution, anything that shall have the force of law must pass through this House. Regulations are subsidiary legislations. If a Cabinet Secretary wants to enforce them, he must bring them here so that we can put the force of...

Hon. Speaker, there seems to be some confusion. What we are discussing here is not about the passengers who should be screened at every airport, but the aircraft themselves. For example, if you need to travel to Wajir or Migori tomorrow at 8 a.m., the aircraft that will take you...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) : Yes. Hon. Speaker Hon. Speaker: Yes, Hon. Junet. Hon. Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank you as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and as the Speaker of the National Assembly for taking swift action so that we could know...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) It is the same disease, same hospital, same bed, same visitors, and even the same doctor. Nobody else can see him. I thank the National Police Service (NPS) of this country, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for the...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Okay, Hon. Speaker. We recall with sorrow the 2007/2008 post-election violence, when over 1,000 lives were lost and more than 600,000 people were displaced. We vowed to never again go that route. “Never again” must be more than a slogan. It must be a...

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

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I seek your protection because I am still moving the Motion.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I am still moving the Motion. I seek your protection.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) The person that this House overwhelmingly impeached, with over 300 members, is the same person who is telling Kenyans: “Unless you follow this direction or follow my party, or follow my wild thoughts of discriminating against other people, you will not be a valid...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, my allocation is supposed to 27th May 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, having moved the Motion of Adjournment, I seek your indulgence to thank Members for their huge contributions. Hon. Members have spoken on behalf of Kenyans as the representatives of the people. Having said that, I also want to invite you to...

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

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, in line with the communication you have just delivered, the matter concerning the origination of Bills has been conclusively settled, both in the Constitution and in the Supreme Court judgment. As is evident, the County Assemblies Pensions Scheme Bill is a money...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am happy the issue of RLMF is taking another direction.

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

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, the real Finance Bill has now arrived in Parliament in line with your Communication.

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) As you will remember a ‘Finance Bill’ has been circulating over the past two months. People have been discussing it in public forums claiming that there is over taxation. I want to urge Kenyans from the Floor of this House that the real Finance...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Hon. Speaker, firstly, I congratulate Hon. Bwire for taking this bold step of bringing to this House people who are marginalised and minorities in his constituency. This is what real representation is. Congratulations on the work you have done. This is how you represent...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) You are right, Hon. Speaker. They are stateless. They are worse than minorities. People only realise the enjoyment of a right when they lose it. There are also people in this country who face a lot of discrimination. There are Kenyans who are unable...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Kabisa, Hon. Speaker. You took me to Malakisi in 2005 so that I could interact with the public. A whole governor stood in his place, addressed a gathering of Kenyans and said that other Kenyans must be discriminated against. He is a former Provincial...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) His name is Hon. Nakimbia. Anakimbia tu. He is just running everywhere. I was taken aback. I know what discriminated people go through in that region. Many children in northern Kenya have finished their education in colleges and university, but they cannot get employment...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As Members are aware, this has been a very contentious Bill. Yesterday, after the quorum was raised by none other than myself, the Speaker called for a meeting in his office with the leadership of Parliament. We discussed the matter...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) My teacher, who is the Speaker, has taught me that it cannot originate from anywhere else other than the National Assembly. Bills concerning counties can originate from the National Assembly and the Senate. It also said that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF)...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) The judgement is in public and anyone can access and read it. It is no longer a secret. Even this county government issue can go to the Supreme Court. I am sure it will declare the position. Please, we want to develop our country,...

Hon. Junet Mohamed (Suna East, ODM) Thank you. I stand to second the Value-Added Tax (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2025) . This is a very small amendment that is rectifying what happened in the Tax (Amendment) Act that we passed in December. It is very controversial, but...
