Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I thank the Mover of this Motion. (Hon. Dick Oyugi spoke off the record)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First and foremost, I thank the Mover of this Motion so that this House and Kenyans can express their concerns on the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and Palestine. What is happening right now is not just a conflict, but more than even a genocide. The...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have well guided that this is a matter of protocol and the welfare of the Kenyan pilgrims. For purposes of informing the Member for Mombasa, we already have a fully operational consulate in Jeddah, which has been of assistance. This is a very weighty matter,...

Hon. Speaker. I associate myself with the request for that Statement because it is very important. We know that the work has already started on the Horn of Africa Gateway Road Project. As we speak, it is not only the section where the Member of Parliament has talked about, but...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Now that we are going for recess from Tuesday next week, we will give a comprehensive response two days after we return from recess.

Yes, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Chair. I am well guided; we shall do so. Within two weeks, we will be able to give him a response and formally bring it to the House after recess.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have heard the Request of Statement. The incident of 22nd February 2025 was very unfortunate. I will equally say the same as on the response given earlier. We will give the Member a written submission in two weeks' time and formerly respond to the Request...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have listened to the Request for Statement. I inform the Member that we will have a response to the questions in two weeks’ time. Including all others that he has mentioned like the distress calls from the people in the diaspora. Two weeks will...

Hon. Chairlady, I think the amendment is quite in order. We are trying to insinuate that the Ministry of Education, through NACONEK, has failed to perform its functions. Do we have a report in this House that talks about the same? Do we have a report that says NACONEK has...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairperson. When I look at this Vote, there is a new programme called National Livestock Development and Promotion Service (NLDPS) Board that has just been allocated a paltry Ksh50 million. This is a new board that was inaugurated four months ago and it needs to take...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The name of this institution is Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) but, sometimes, they conduct their affairs under the wings of the National Police Service (NPS) . They use the infrastructure of the police officers whom they are supposed to oversee. They are not independent....

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want to join my colleagues in stating that the Senate is cut out for defending and upholding devolution. Of late, we see Cabinet Secretaries and State Departments appearing before the Senate on matters that have nothing to do with devolution. I do not know what will...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As Hon. Daudi has said, the answers given by the Cabinet Secretary do not make sense. The regulations they are relying on were published in 1985 before the new Constitution was enacted. As we speak, those regulations do not even have the full force of law....

Hon. Speaker, the issue at hand is not about who owns or does not own an aircraft. The real concern is that the current regulations are illegal, as they have not been approved by this House. We want you to direct that either they bring the regulations to the Committee...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to reply. (Hon. Richard Yegon stood up in his place)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the Motion on the approval of the Treaty establishing IGAD. The Mover has explicitly explained why we need this Treaty. I am sure Kenya will benefit more than most of the member States. Remember IGAD comprises a number of countries, including...
