Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Finance Bill. It is important to note that the Finance Bill went through extensive public participation. Also, the Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning led by Hon. Kuria was tabled before the House. [The Temporary Speaker...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to eulogise Hon. Gideon Konchellah. I served with him in the 11th and 12th Parliaments. He was a very humble, down-to-earth leader and, more importantly, a team player. He was one of the Members who liked the gym. He was a very good Member...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Committee's Report on its consideration of the expenditures of the Consolidated Fund Services for the Budget Estimates for the 2026/2027 Financial Year. The Committee examined fiscal sustainability of public debt, debt management and the need to ensure that debt does...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to weigh in and contribute to the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2026-2027. First and foremost, I laud the Chair and the Committee for a job well done, more importantly, in the education sub-sector, which encompasses four main departments. It encompasses...

On a point of information, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Melly, what is your point of information? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. With all due respect to the Leader of the Majority Party, the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) is in charge of the curriculum. We have senior schools. This...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I do agree with the Member for Emuhaya. Actually, the Departmental Committee on Education took action because it is very shameful that these teachers have not been paid. We reallocated Ksh1.5 billion for the examiners in this particular Budget. It was the decision of the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. (Hon. Caroli Omondi spoke off the record) Order, Hon. Melly. Whom do you want to inform, Hon. Caroli Omondi? He has not said anything worth being informed. Go on, Hon. Melly. I give you two minutes more as the Chair. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want...

Thank you. I do agree overly with the Hon. Member for Suba South Constituency. He appeared before the Committee and presented a very good idea. However, I do not agree with my good friend, Hon. Milemba, because I do not preside over admission processes in this country. We oversee the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will take it up. I think that has been the issue. Even when I was discussing the matter with the IG of Police yesterday, he told us that the homicide investigation report was out. We are going to sit down and see how to deal...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank the National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity Committee for a job well done. Chapter 15 of our Constitution established NCIC with the intention of holding the Republic as one. Kenya is a diverse nation, with many communities, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. Yet...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have rightly put it. Indeed, schools and teachers are foster parents. They have a responsibility when they take the students in. In fact, I remember that particular time when Hon. Wangari asked the question, I promised the House that I would transmit the questions to...

That is in order, Hon. Speaker.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Member of Tinderet? Thank you. Is Hon. Ochieng’ in order to say that Chairs of Committees who support the Budget and Appropriations Committee are bullying it, yet we actually offer a lot of support in all that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to first say that, as Chairpersons of Committees, we complement one another, including the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriation Committee. More importantly, there are some issues for which I want to laud the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriation Committee for the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome all students as the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. I welcome them to Parliament, the National Assembly, which is one of the three arms of government. It is in this House that laws, regulations, statutes and...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to mourn and condole Hon. Ng’eno, together with the other departed passengers who were in the ill-fated craft. I also thank you for honouring me with the responsibility of chairing the 11-member burial committee. Hon. Ng’eno was more than a brother to me. He...
