I stand to raise an issue on whether we have Quorum in the House to discuss this, Bill.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me just contribute although I did not want to. I oppose the Motion because we should not recycle people who have served in very high offices by giving them other offices. When will career diplomats get chances to serve in our diplomatic missions? (Applause) Order, Leader...

Even the two late presidents, Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi and Mwai Kibaki never did this. This issue of recycling people the way you recycle waste in Dandora started with the Jubilee Party. This culture must stop. These people were already serving in high offices. The appointing authority has the prerogative...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I apologise to Hon. Wamuchomba. I was soliciting and lobbying for her that in the event that the Wamunyoro bus gets punctured, she should get a soft landing by becoming an ambassador in charge of Githunguri and Kimende areas. (Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah spoke off the record)

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have heard what the Leader of the Majority Party has told me. However, Hon. Wamuchomba is an iron lady. I cannot withstand Hon. Wamuchomba being out of office. If she is so strong now when she is in office, what do you think she can do...

In the spirit of diplomacy, international and national relations, the Leader of Majority Party, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah is the undisputed kingpin of Kiambu County. I must put that on record.

In conclusion, I hope the Kenyans who have been given this chance of serving us will do a good job. They are going to very important stations in terms of business, international relations, and cultural and technological exchanges. In this country, we as politicians and people in high offices, love...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. I would like to say that the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill is an important Bill. You may remember that in the old days, the National Treasury used to give counties money in form of conditional grants, but now Parliament has come up with the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to support the Third Reading of the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating of Terrorism Financing Laws (Amendment) Bill. It is very important in combating money laundering and organised crime in our country. We have a serious problem on money laundering because a lot of our...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Junet? Hon. Temporary Speaker, Order No.13 has been called out. We are going to debate on the approval of nominees for Cabinet Secretaries and one of them is sitting here. You cannot skin a monkey when...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to second the Motion for the adoption of the Fifth Report of the Committee on Appointments on the approval hearings of nominees for appointment as Cabinet Secretaries. I wish to briefly highlight the specific observations the Committee made in respect of each nominee. Permit me...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this issue that has been raised by Hon. Otiende Amollo was raised in this House in the year 2015. For those of us who were here by then, the late Hon. Nkaissery was appointed as Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. At that time,...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Leader of the Minority Party? Looking at the time we are remaining with in the morning session and the important Motions we have on the Order Paper, I request that the mover be called to reply after...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Executive for setting up this very important State Department for Science, Research and Innovation. What is happening in the world now is about innovation and technology transfer. If you watch the news today, President Trump...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, you could hear as you read that name that Members of Parliament were shocked. They were wondering how someone with that kind of name found himself on the Floor of this House to be approved as a Principal Secretary. You can just hear that they are all...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. If there is a committee that has done a thorough vetting job this time, then it is this one. They have looked at every aspect of this matter. You can see them categorically say in their Report that...

No! He has two homes. He has one there and one here. You cannot know the one in which the mother is staying. She could be in that one. (Laughter) You may proceed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, you do not know which one she is staying in. These people have ten...

Hon. Speaker, I first appreciate the guidance you have given the House. The NG-CDF has a lot of enemies for no apparent reason. Many people are fighting it because they do not have the correct information about it. County governments and devolution have been in existence in this country for...

Hon. Speaker, I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party. I do not want to call this Bill dangerous, but it is very important. It is giving exemptions of Ksh14.9 billion, which is almost Ksh15 billion, yet we are unable to raise money for the National Government Constituencies Development...

Thank you for this opportunity. I stand to support the Motion by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. I also thank the Chairman and the Committee for a thorough job because the Report they have brought on those two nominees is factual. Mr Cyrell Wagunda Odede comes from...

Hon. Speaker, the issue of power in Mandera has been a problem since Independence. The county or the town used to be served by IPPs. They had served them for the last 30 years. Those IPPs were withdrawn without any reason and some Chinese generators were taken there. I am...

Hon. Speaker, I would like to seek your indulgence, but before that, let me react to the issue of Homa Bay. You know it is unreligious to use condoms. I do not know if the Leader of the Majority Party is aware of that. Religion does not allow condoms. The...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, our colleagues on the other side are wondering why we want to contribute. They expect us to just approve the nominee. We want to take pride in the kind of experts we are sending to help the Government, as Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) . Look at Dr...

Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence on a matter of procedure. This is a legislative House. The process of legislation begins when a Bill is tabled for First Reading. When a Bill has not appeared on the Floor of the House, it is no longer part of the process of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank Hon. Ochieng’ for ceding his time to me. Hon. Ochieng’ is a potential presidential candidate from my area. We are looking at him with good eyes. I told him he has to wait for some time. It is not long now. He is...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am using the term ‘nyumba ya wazee’ because I do not know how to describe ‘nyumba ya wazee’ in English. What is it called? Is it the house of old men or the house of lords? There is no much work being done there. (Laughter)

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: Aware that, vide Gazette Notice Nos.1901 & 2643 dated 14th February 2023 and 1st March 2023, respectively, His Excellency the President declared one (1) vacancy for the position of the Chairperson of the Independent Electoral & Boundaries Commission (IEBC) , and...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of Motion on the extension of the time for recruitment of persons for appointment as Chairperson Appointment as the Chairperson and Members of the IEBC; noting that, upon its appointment, the Selection Panel commenced the recruitment process and longlisted all applicants and subsequently...

Hon. Speaker, with your indulgence, we need to take note of the issue raised by Hon. Dorice. In the reorganisation of committees, together with the Leader of the Majority Party, we must ensure that more women serve in the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. Having said that, an international...

Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party and I have acknowledged the anomalies in the committees and we will address them. The committees must have gender parity. Regarding what is happening in New York, men are also stakeholders. What women are discussing there also affects us. We must be...
