Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is the first time the hustler Government has rejected its hustler. The description or definition of a hustler is in Charles Githinji. If he could not define GDP, you should empower him because that was your vision. Take him to Goma or wherever you are...

Thank you, Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report. I am a member of the Special Funds Accounts Committee. We came up with a few observations, especially with regard to the young lads; those who are seated on my left and on my right. Alcohol is not a friend...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I fully support this Motion because caregivers face a lot of physical challenges. So, they should pay attention to their personal wellbeing. They lift and assist PWDs and end up with no free time to relax. They also face a lot of emotional challenges and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I oppose this Bill with all my might. My mind is spinning with very many questions. On one side, this Government says it is cutting down the ballooning budget and on the other side it is ballooning the budget itself with things that Kenyans do...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I know that Hon. Ichung'wah is going to abuse me.

Leader of the Majority Party, you are out of order. I am just giving references. Order, Hon. Omanyo. Order! Are you done? (An Hon. Member spoke off record) Proceed, Hon. Omanyo. You have not exhausted your time. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was correcting the Government before Hon. Ichung’wah...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I applaud the Budget and Appropriations Committee and, more so, the Chairperson; for coming up with a prioritised budget this time. One side of the spectrum on the Budget is really commendable, but there are other nitty-gritties that I have noticed that need our attention....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to say at the outset that I supported the Motion that culminated in this Bill. The village elders do not fit in the government’s spreadsheet yet the government depends on them, through the chiefs and the assistant chiefs, to know the real situation...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is, indeed, difficult to discuss such a topic. Something is dreadfully amiss in our society. I was forced to think that sometimes some people are badly cultured. Apart from being badly cultured, they have some criminal agents in their minds. How can anybody start...

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

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion because our food security and nutrition are paramount. Our country once used to be the food basket of East Africa. If we continue joking around, we will soon be among the people who are malnourished in Africa. People might not come...

Yes, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The renewable license should be issued once a year. (Laughter) Clause 31

Thank you Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This language that is under seal or incognito is not good even to the Wanjikus or Nafulas of today. Simplicity is better because it is fair to both the lawyer and the other person who needs to also be part of the understanding. The Temporary...

Thank you. This tax issue is a headache. I think it is being implemented haphazardly and it is becoming like somebody gives you snow in your hands and tells you that in a couple of years, the snow will still be in your hands. The nations that the Leader of...

I want to inform my colleague that if you want anybody to accept what you want to introduce to me, let me also participate. Kenyans are stakeholders; they voted and trusted that we are coming to put their interest first. All of us at the crack of dawn wake up...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support fully. We must keep giving the elderly dignity and respect. Most of them had all the energy, money and titles, but with time, everything degenerates. As we think ahead, let us keep in mind ourselves and our children to come; where can they...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have looked at the Budget and I realise that borrowing is haphazardly done. It is too much. The rate at which Kenya is borrowing compared to the rate at which development is happening, shows there is something amiss. I do not understand why there...
