NYORO, SAMSON NDINDI

Yes. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Proceed. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairperson for your guidance. I wholly agree that it is subject to Article 114 of the Constitution. On the whole issue of allocation of additional funds to the county governments, it is important that we...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I request Hon. John Njuguna Kawanjiku from Kiambaa to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the County Governments Additional Allocations (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2022) be now read a Third Time. Just for the record, and to put matters into perspective, the matter in question was with regard to the construction of headquarters of five...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indulge me in reading out Article 94 of our Constitution, which provides that the legislative authority of the Republic is derived from the people and, at the national level, is vested in and exercised by Parliament. The Constitution is very clear on who is mandated to...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes Hon. Ndindi Nyoro. Hon. Speaker, this is a House of records. What the hon. Member has insinuated has gone on record. She said she was forced to say “girlfriends.” I do not know who forced her. I wonder whether it is the...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairperson. We are privy to the amendment by Hon. Kareke Mbiuki. It came to the Committee and we checked the issue and we do not have a problem with the proposed amendment. To put more light into it, five counties were to benefit from...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairperson. I am looking at the Bill from the Senate on the five counties that were to benefit from the construction of headquarters. Just to bring Members to speed, by the time we began the model of county governments, some of counties inherited the...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Abdullahi to second the Motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I see the Deputy Whip of the Majority Party is here. Give us one minute to consult.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Agriculture is a very important sector in our country because its entire value chain accounts for 20 to 30 per cent of our GDP. The whole value chain also accounts for 40 per cent of the entire...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for your indulgence. As for the Calendar of this House, we are a bit busy on several issues affecting Kenyans, and that is why we could not make it at the appropriate time. The Budget and Appropriations Committee was meeting at that time to...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I concur with the Member who said that Hon. Chepkonga was not here when we debated and passed this law. There is a basis. Above what we do here, separation of equity and equality is very important. Hon. Chepkonga wants to argue that the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the County Governments Additional Allocations (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2022) be read a Second Time. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the County Governments Additional Allocations (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2022) provides the legal basis for the transfer of...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank all Members for their valuable contributions to this particular Bill. I associate myself with all the sentiments, especially on MES. It was messy. We need to relook at it and the beneficiaries who take advantage of Kenyans and our health sector....

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Most of the times, this is our sitting area. We prefer it because we are nearer to the Speaker, but over time, this place has been getting colder. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Speaker, it is not a Statement. The request for a Statement was directed to my Committee and we will be giving Mheshimiwa feedback in the next two weeks.

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. First, I want to thank Members of this House for the long day. I also thank the Clerks of the National Assembly for the great organisation. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the nine Members of the East African...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the very generous introduction. First, I rise to support that this very important Fund, NG-CDF, should be in our Constitution. Hon. Temporary Speaker, of all the devolved funds we have in this country, including the county funds, there is no fund that is more...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, when Hon. Gachobe of Subukia speaks, the Government is speaking. I am sure he is next in line. Thank you.

Hon. Speaker, I second.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I start by congratulating my brother Hon. Mutuse for this Motion. Second is that village elders, or whatever name we give them, and nyumba kumi heads, play a very critical role in so far as governance is concerned. Therefore, we should appropriate something...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro, what is your point of order? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on Standing Order 97. Looking at the time now, it is about 5.00 p.m. If this debate proceeds up to 7.00 p.m., and the allocation of time...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. This House is very anxious, and our country is paralysed in so far as the determination of the majority and minority sides in this House is concerned. The Speaker had indicated that this House was expecting a Communication from the Chair so...
