Gideon Kimaiyo

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Kimilu and Kimaiyo are somehow similar, but this is Hon. Kimaiyo. I know he also comes from the Rift Valley. Anyway, thank you for the opportunity. I rise to support this Motion to establish the Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. I serve on...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry, and Cooperatives regarding the delayed payments owed to dairy farmers supplying milk to the New Kenya Cooperative...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I know we are going for recess. Farmers have not been paid for three months. So, if we wait for this Statement to come in February, farmers will continue to suffer. I do not know what interventions can be made so that the Statement can be released...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Does the Hon. Member mean that Eldoret does not deserve the Ksh50 billion hospital? Does that mean the hospital only serves people in Uasin Gishu? To the best of my knowledge, the hospital belongs to all the people of Kenya, whether in Eldoret or any...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

(Technical hitch)Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I did not want to interrupt the Hon. Member. However, when he asks what the point is of allocating KSh50 billion to one hospital, he forgets that our President talked about us being a first-world country. We cannot be a first-world country without centres...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I must commend His Excellency, the President, for his State of the Nation Address. His Speech was well articulated. The state of our nation is one of a nation in transition. His Excellency, the President (Dr) William Samoei Ruto, put it correctly: we are transitioning from a...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am of a contrary opinion. The challenges in KQ are systemic. Hon. Member for Keiyo South, this is not a debate; this is a Statement. I am just giving a small background. You are standing either to seek a clarification or nothing. Okay, allow me...

No, it is not good, but I wanted to mention the challenges… Ask Hon. Dawood the Question. Okay. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Maybe some information to the Hon. Chairperson, Mhe. Dawood, if it is allowed. Let me proceed. Hon. Speaker, if you compare KQ with other airlines, the airline business...

Hon. Speaker, I join my colleagues in mourning and saying pole to the people of Marakwet East, especially the people of Chesongoch, and more so the people of Keiyo North who reside in Kipendo. The landslides in Elgeyo Marakwet are not random. In 2007, we lost people. In 2012, we...

Thank you. I rise to answer Question No.70. Are you asking or answering the Question? I am asking. (Laughter)

Thank you. I rise to ask the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary: [The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) in the Chair]

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Cabinet Secretary has tried to answer my questions, but there is a context why I asked them. Article 53 of the Kenyan Constitution says that every child has the right to free and compulsory basic education. The Basic Education Act of 2013 operationalises this...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On the issue of lunch which my colleague has just asked about, the Basic Education Act, 2013 establishes the county education boards. It is these boards that sit and agree on how much students in free day secondary schools will pay for lunch. In the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, just in addition to that, it would be prudent if the Cabinet Secretary releases a circular to all schools and education directors down there. We are not speaking to this in vain. If you listened to the Chair very well, he asked: Does the gap impact on...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Cabinet Secretary has not answered one question: The funds collected under the RMLF belong to four institutions namely, KeRRA, KeNHA, KURA and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) . (A Member spoke off the record) No, the Kenya Forest Services (KFS) does not get any funds....

Hon. Speaker, I did not mean to interrupt. You have already done. Ask what you want to. (Laughter) I am making a clarification. What Mweshimiwa Alice from Thika meant was that they should not securitise the 22 per cent and the 10 per cent. They should not touch the 22...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Motion was about the irregular exemption of taxes. I want to thank this House and everyone who contributed to the Committee of the Whole House. On behalf of the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation and the Members, thank you. Tax exemption sets a...

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the total amount of money that has been spent in the provision of bursaries by county governors in the last five financial years, namely, financial...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, we are a House of rules. The matter at hand is very weighty. Looking at the House, we do not have quorum. I therefore, rise on Standing Order 35 to request that you check whether we have quorum. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill. I also appreciate the Member of Parliament for Suna West, Hon. Masara, for thinking about our police officers. Article 43 of our Constitution guarantees all citizens of this country the right to health. Our police officers work in very hostile environments,...
