Patrick Makau

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand based on your first Communication on reconstitution of House committees and the election of chairmen and vice-chairmen. This is a House of traditions and rules. Hon. Adan Keynan served as a Commissioner during the 12th Parliament, and he was the Chairman of the Public...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am seeking your guidance. Sometimes back - I am sure you were in this House - we looked at this Bill and all Members were in agreement that zoning should be done so that it carries along the Bill. That is not a point...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. I also thank Hon. Haika, Member for Taita Taveta County, for making her Statement on the Floor of the House. This is an opportunity for Members to pass their condolences to the family of the hero of media houses, especially the...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Mutuse, hold on. Member for Mavoko, what is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. When I was listening to the Mover, I did not hear him say how many persons applied for the position. He only spoke of that...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have just heard the Member say that former Members of Parliament were enjoying the NHIF, which no longer exists. I believe that the Member is a sympathiser of the Kenya Kwanza Government. Is she trying to insinuate that the Social Health Authority (SHA) or the Social...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. At the outset, allow me to give a thumbs-up to one Hon. Eckomas Mwengi Mutuse. I give him a thumbs-up for executing this Motion and showing Kenyans that leadership is not about where you come from or who you are but...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. We will come to that. What is your point of order, Hon. Commissioner Makau? Hon. Speaker, with all due respect to Hon. Opiyo Wandayi and Hon. John Mbadi, I listened to their beautiful speeches. In the 12th Parliament, those of us who were...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, thank you for giving me this chance to voice my sentiments on this Bill.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will restrict myself to the Finance Bill 2024. When I was going through this Bill, I was very optimistic. I had thought that this Government would redeem itself, given that Kenyans underwent serious suffering resulting from the proceeds of the 2023 Bill. When I looked...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to seek guidance from you on whether this Motion is properly before this House. It seeks to develop a Satellite-based Climate Change Monitoring Policy. Kenya, as a nation, has a policy on climate. Meteorologists use satellite to monitor weather patterns and climatologists use...

Thank you, Hon, Temporary Speaker. Having guided me, I just wanted to be aligned with the Motion. Hon. Owen who is from Malindi knows that Kenya borrows a lot from the Italian satellite which is there and so are other satellites. Hon. Ferdinand has just confirmed that Kenya launched its...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support the Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill. I agree with all the speakers that when you look at the retirement age, Kenya is in the gap of developing countries or it is perceived to be a developed country. You find someone...
