THUKU ZACHARY KWENYA

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. The above-mentioned road passes through my constituency from the Flyover to Njabini, then Kipipiri, and all the way to Nyahururu. That road has become a...

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 are talking of a very...

Thank you very much. I also support this amendment, but still give my voice on feeds. This is what we intend to do in empowering the relevant county government departments that are dealing with matters relating to agriculture. The issue of standards and certification is quite an important matter to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank our Vice-chairman for the powerful address as he moved this Motion by the Committee. I second and support this report that emanated from our sittings as Members of this Committee. In my support, I take a three-pronged approach because I want to talk...

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 Investments Committee (PIC) . In...

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 ‘Ksh6,000,461,246.’ (Question of the amendment...

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 money to the Senators for...

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. You cannot say that, Hon. Thuku Kwenya, and more so, to a constitutional lawyer...

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.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the amendment as presented by the Senate. I have a keen interest in this Bill, which is a culmination of the agreement that was reached by the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) . The Senate’s proposals should be captured in this Bill because elections...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute on the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. From the outset, I am in support of some of the amendments herein but I also want to give my thoughts and those of the people of Kinangop. I support the inclusion of Kenya...

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 with reservations.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Naisula, hold on. Hon. Kwenya what is out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, the gracious Member should be seated when I am on a point of order so that I can address you effectively. The Member for Samburu is insinuating that...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I pressed the intervention button by mistake. I have queued to speak.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I concur with the Leader of the Minority Party because we had a meeting today and agreed that I drop all my amendments and go by the Committee’s proposed amendments. Therefore, I drop my amendments. (Proposed amendment by Hon. Kwenya Thuku dropped) The Temporary Chairlady...

Hon. Chairman, as I had said earlier, I have dropped all the amendments that I had proposed in favour of what is being proposed by the Committee. (Proposed amendments by Hon. Kwenya Thuku dropped) (Clause 5 as amended agreed to) Clause 6
