Zachary Kwenya Thuku

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank my colleague, the Member of Parliament for Kipipiri, who is my neighbour in a special way.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chair. I wish to support this amendment for the simple reason that members of the county assemblies are the representatives of the people. Indeed, any report that emanates from whatever quarter needs the approval and ratification of the county assemblies. We...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you very much. I also support this amendment, but still give my voice on feeds.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your magnanimity and generosity.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Sorry, I did not carry my card and, maybe, that is why my name is not reflecting. But I happen to be one person who is so passionate about reports that emanate from the Public...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Yes, the whip was helping in moving this amendment. I wish to move the amendment under Vote 2043, Programme 0723000 - General Administration, Planning and Support Services – by deleting the expression Ksh6,050,461,246 appearing in Column 9 (Gross Recurrent Expenditure) and substituting therefore the expression...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the reason as to why we are here is partly because members of the public say that there is a lot of wastage and duplication of functions. We are allocating money and we are not expecting any yields. The issue of allocating...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me start by giving my observation as to how fast Hon. William Samoei Ruto became the President within a very short time. Everybody is happy that he is our President. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Peter Kaluma) You cannot say...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Chairlady, I rise to support this amendment by the Chairlady of Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) . We are trying to encourage local manufacturing and once we exempt raw materials from tax we will create employment. Thank you.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the amendment as presented by the Senate.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Speaker, I am opposed to this amendment and I will bring in further amendments so that we align it. We should make sure there is no trade that will happen in this country as far as the exportation of copper is concerned. I support...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Hon. Naisula, hold on. Hon. Kwenya what is out of order? Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the gracious Member should be seated when I am on a point...

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I pressed the intervention button by mistake. I have queued to speak.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I pressed the intervention button by mistake. I have queued to speak.

Hon. Kwenya Thuku (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady.
