Zachary Kwenya Thuku

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to ride on the established questions. I heard the Cabinet Secretary say that they have a list of the administrative units they will operationalise and that the priority is based on security and population size. Some administrative units in...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Speaker, I am waving at the Clerk-at-the- Table for him to spot where I am sitting. I thank you for giving me this opportunity to welcome a great school in my constituency by the name of Magomano Girls’. I want to assure them that...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) On point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Sadly, the Leader of the Minority Party is misleading this House. The former Cabinet Secretary he is talking about was not fired because of incompetence. The President did not state any reason. It is unfair for the Leader of the Minority...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) None was fired because of incompetence. We took them through a rigorous process when we were vetting them. They are equal to the task. Indeed, they said that they can be assigned any role by the President.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish in a very special way to emphatically support this proposal. I cannot wait for the day that we are going to discuss the entrenchment of this Bill into the Constitution, so that we...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. In as much as I would wish to support this amendment I think the timeframe cited is too short. Growing from a core capital of Ksh1 billion to Ksh10 billion within a span of four years is really unreasonable. Like...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) I support that amendment for the simple reason that asking manufacturers to register with the standards body… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : You want a further amendment. Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) No. I am supporting that amendment, because asking the manufacturers to...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you. I do not find this amendment necessary for a simple reason. Of course, there are articles and Memorandum of Association that we use to register companies at the Registrar of Companies. Therein we address the kinds of businesses we will carry out. It...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the insertion of this new clause. Business people have suffered in this country in the hands of the Government and its entities. You supply goods, with the expectation that you are going to be paid in good time....

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I heard the Member mention the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, which is not being discussed today. Is he anticipating debate against the rules of the House?

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute. I was checking with the Clerk-at-the-Table to ensure I am still in the queue. First, I wish to take this opportunity to support this omnibus Business Laws (Amendment) Bill. I am very happy with this...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill brought by my colleague, the Member for Kitui Central. From the word ‘go’, I want to support the Bill for the simple reason that we are 14 years late...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Indeed, yes, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to say something.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important matter that has been brought to the attention of this House. I want to thank Hon. Boss for the Statement. However, issues related to gender-based violence are not solely in the purview of our sisters. It...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Yes. Either way, we must address the real issues so that we tackle the issue of gender-based violence. I support the Statement and I believe that during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence, we are going to be available 27th November 2024...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I acknowledge the Member who has just spoken, Hon. Pareyio. It is called Taifa Care. It got a new name for ease of reference. In a very special way, I commend the President for the...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your magnanimity. If we can maintain the guaranteed minimum return on milk so that our farmers sell their produce at Ksh50 per litre, we will be empowering the people we have been talking about— mama mboga and the farmers...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to respond on behalf the Chairman. I assure the Hon. Member that this matter will be forwarded to the relevant Ministry, that is the Ministry of Defence, and a response should be expected within 14 days. Thank you.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have two Responses to Statements. I will start with the request by the Member for Mwala Constituency.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will start with the one that was requested by the Member for Lang’ata Constituency, Hon. Phelix Odiwuor, alias Jalas Jalang’o. He sought a Statement regarding the current management and public access to Uhuru Gardens. The Member for Lang’ata Constituency,...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to respond to a Request for a Statement by Hon. (Eng.) Vincent Musyoka, Member of Parliament for Mwala Constituency, regarding Mysterious Death of Mr William Alfred Mulwa Mutilangi in the...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I really empathise and sympathise with the situation of the family. In fact, the issues they have raised are pertinent. However, we sat as a Committee and engaged the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs when the matter was brought...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Member for Mwala has raised an issue about the family travelling to the US to seek justice. From what we gathered, there is an active case filed by the family. There were conflicts on who the family is. In...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the guidance. Indeed, this family needs closure of this matter. We will endeavour to do whatever is within our purview to bring this matter to rest. I will communicate the same to the Chairperson of our Committee. Thank you.
