Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate this opportunity to discuss or give my opinion on the President's Speech. Most of it was like throwing a mare’s nest on Kenyans, because we heard a lot of non-factual information. I have heard people’s praises, especially on fertilisers, but who was given...

Thank you. Some people are idle and are trying to seem to be participating. I am not forcing anyone to agree with me. This is about what I took in. If it did not go well with what I know or how I see things, he should not come to...

Thank you, Temporary Speaker. When I heard the President giving more and more hope whereas some things had not been fulfilled, in my mind, I thought he should have, at least, done the things he promised without promising more. A time is coming when the President will be talking and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I carefully listened to the President's Speech that day and too many things were a little bit amiss. He mentioned that a gorogoro of maize will go down to Ksh60. Coming from Busia and that being our staple meal, I got very excited, but when...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As sure as death occurs, taxes are inevitable. Every Kenyan, be it a former President or former Member of County Assembly (MCA) or any other person involved in building of this nation, should not evade taxes. I concur with the Petition, but what I do...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is staggering to watch families that have worked and fought very hard to own something in their motherland lose it overnight. We have seen clips of some Kenyans abroad who even do shoddy jobs to get money to send back home so that when...

We cannot hear you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was saying that we should, as leaders, do something whenever we hear somebody has bought land, whether legally or illegally. These people have settled with their families and may have a child who is to sit for her or his examination in a couple...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to quickly investigate the Ministry of Education. We want to know, since 2019, who did the procurement, what quantity, and who they supplied to. I come from Busia County, and every school has approached me asking for...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Insurance (Amendment) Bill. It always seems like people have to cut their noses to prove that they were hurt or they were involved in an accident. In today’s scenario, insurance companies put ahead cumbersome claim settlement procedures in the hope that that...

(Technical hitch)Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion fully. We have lost too many lives… There was a technical hitch. Road accidents happen because of human behaviour in Kenya where most drives ignore the recommended speed. I remember the late Hon. Michuki brought speed limit commands which reduced...

I have just arrived. Give me 10 minutes.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill has made me smile today because somebody thought it wise to bring it before this House. If you look at the health facilities in the villages, their infrastructure is in question. If a pregnant woman is to be transferred from a better facility...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I quickly want to support the Motion because of time. What is affecting us Kenyans is that everybody is involved from the point of entry where that illegal sugar is brought in. So, when we want to solve it, we should start asking: Who at...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to add bells and whistles to this Motion by saying no to drugs, anytime. For us to have a healthy and productive society, we should not shy away from this matter. We are losing children. Personally, I have been affected through family...

On a point of order. Hold on please. Member for Busia, is it the English that is too tough? What is out of order? I want Wanjiku to understand. The Cabinet Secretary is not communicating. What is your point of order, Hon. Catherine? I am just hearing ochipode something... (Laughter)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I am hurting. There are people born and raised planting sugarcane and understand everything that entails sugar, but there are people here representing someone’s interest and not Kenyans’ interest. You cannot be a Member of Parliament and be on two sides. It seems that someone...
