Suzanne Ndunge Kiamba

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I wish to thank the Member of Parliament for Kitui Central, Dr Makali, for bringing this. I feel privileged because this is my first term and this is...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the President’s Speech. First and foremost, I wish to appreciate two important things. I liked the promise of exemption from taxation on agricultural inputs that the President mentioned in his Speech. I...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, that Member must be a foreigner.

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, if I am getting it right, one of the companies that is implementing SHA is in partnership with Adani. It is known all over. I can bring that information if you give me time. 26th November 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 18

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I can see that everybody is up in arms because this House has decided that no other voice should be heard. Protect me, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Secondly, nobody is against PPPs. When we accused Adani and Kenyans rejected the issue of Adani,...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I need my God. The President talked about the issue of governance. Recently, we had what we call a broad- based Government, witnessing a case where the Opposition joined the Government. Practically, we do not have a functional Opposition in this House...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) I have not mentioned anybody; I am giving my opinion on what I see on the Floor of the House, where the Leader of the Minority Party fully supports the Government and even speaks more than the proposer of the Motion from the Government side....

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to give my input in this very important Bill. I thank my colleague, Hon. Irene, for bringing it because this has been a menace in Kenya. It was very difficult to have any judgement on...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to ask this Question on behalf of Hon. Joyce Kamene of Machakos County. Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development the following question: Could the Cabinet Secretary-

Hon. Suzzane Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I asked the Question on behalf of Hon. Kamene, and I was requesting for a written copy of the response from the Cabinet Secretary

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me time to contribute to this very progressive Bill. It provides an opportunity to this country to institutionalise issues of health workers. For the short period they have worked, we have very clear evidence that they are contributing...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I have two short questions. Firstly, we appreciate your innovativeness because things have to change. Things cannot remain the same. What informed your decision to have the lowest band at 5 per cent? As we address the bursary issue, we know that we...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) No.

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to add my voice to this important Motion that was brought by Hon. Mishi Mboko. It is timely. We realise that mental health attacks the brain which is the engine of the body. This means if we do...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me time to contribute to this very important Motion. As we look at these nominees, we must look at the backdrop that necessitated a second selection of the Cabinet’s membership. In my opinion, the major challenge we are facing...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I will not apologise. I am neither an Englishman nor an Englishwoman. I am a Kamba. I know he understands what I mean. Hon. Speaker, the other point is the issue of inclusivity and, in particular, the inclusion of the youth. When we...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) I do not understand his point. I stated very clearly that the President said he was disbanding the Cabinet because it was incompetent. When 70 per cent of them are brought back, it is assumed that they have developed competences. I am just wondering the...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Give me a minute to wind up, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I represent one of the few dissenting voices, which have not been given time. I have been into an integrity class. Lacking integrity does not mean that you must have been accused of breaching the law. Even when people doubt you and what...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the amendments. As Hon. (Dr) Oundo has suggested, the issue of timeframe makes the clause valid. Without time, it would look like licensing people to do whatever they want at whatever time. We need to have a clear...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I do not know whether this is deliberate. How can the whole Minority side not have proper working communication gadgets? I think this is intentional. I do not think it is technical. How can I move? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. While I think it is in order to have the National Disaster Risk Management Authority, I wish to raise a few concerns. One of them is the fact that we...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also wish to support this Report, but I have some concerns. When you look at the Slum Upgrading Programme, we have put in a lot of resources. We have been trying to change the face of Kenya by upgrading...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to add my voice to this very important Bill on the issue of RDAs. (Loud consultations) Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) RDAs were crucial in transforming Kenya in the 1980s and the 1990s, before the pre-devolution period. 12th...

Hon. Suzanne Kiamba (Makueni, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, with all due respect to the Hon. Member, that is his own opinion which he is entitled to. Everyone is entitled to their imagination and experience to explain a situation when one has a mandate to deliver. Structures are only helpful if...
