Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. I stand in for Hon. Mohamed Adow. I have his consent on the matter and I am shocked that the Statement is not yet ready. Remember that matter is of immense concern to the residents of Northern Kenya and the matter was about the...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to second the Motion. I thank Hon. Ruweida for bringing this Motion which generally talks about priority boarding protocols for Kenya Defence Forces, Special Forces as well as the veterans. First and foremost, let me also join Kenyans and especially this House in paying my...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to second the Motion that this House approves the ratification of the African Union Convention on Cross-Corder Cooperation known as the Niamey Convention.

We have agreed with the Leader of the Majority Party that I give way.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I want to thank the Hon. Member for bringing this Petition. This issue is widespread and it is happening every day everywhere. Sometimes, even in places where someone does not think it can happen. It is unfortunate...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On a point of order.

Hon. Temporary Chairman, this Clause 42B is confusing. It talks about a purchaser. For them to qualify not to sell, there must be additional information that says: “If the purchaser has not finished paying for the house.” As it is, who is a purchaser? I want to add the term…...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion brought by my brother and colleague from my neighbouring constituency of Mandera South. The impact of climate change has been felt in Kenya. Climate change risks two events in extreme: drought and floods....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to put the record straight. I added the issue of frequency and intensity in my speech. Hon. KJ did not capture me say that the frequency and intensity of flooding has been increasing over the years. We all know the story of Noah and the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with Hon. KJ that flooding has happened before but we are talking about the intensity that is increasing. Historically, even when some of us were not born many years back, flooding used to be there. The climate change phenomenon exhibits itself through extreme...

Thank you, Hon. John Kiarie.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I said, the Motion is on the use of technology to predict climate change to curb its adverse knock-on effects. In the past, our pastoralist communities could predict the rainy seasons and they would migrate. That pattern is currently non-existent due to the adverse...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

You approved the Bill, and I made a Statement on the Floor of the House. You committed that you would allow a few Members to ventilate in the subsequent sessions; which has not happened. It now requires your direction as to whether we continue directly, or you approve it to...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Bashir? Hon. Speaker, I want to talk about the Statements. Hon. Bashir, it is obvious you are not following the proceedings. I said we will come back to the Statements after we finish the Orders that are...

Hon. Speaker, I am fully aware that yesterday you gave an order to ban kaunda suits. Some of us have invested in expensive tailor-made kaunda suits for attending Sittings in this House. What do we do with these costly kaunda suits we made for purposes of attending Sittings in this...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I first want to commend the Chair and Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I am fully aware that the Chair and his team respect the views and concerns of Departmental Committees. This Budget is supposed to help Kenyans. I know this...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank Hon. Haro for this timely Adjournment Motion. We now know that what we are experiencing is not a normal El Nino, but a super El Nino. We have just come out of a severe drought which has not been witnessed in...
