MAWATHE JULIUS MUSILI

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Since you are in the Chair, I will refrain from commenting on what you have just said, implying that we should pass the Finance Bill because we have just passed the Budget. Allow me to contribute. Please, protect me from some hecklers. There are hecklers...

Have you read the Finance Bill? Have you read it?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will specify the clause later, but I urge you to be neutral as you mediate between the Members. My friend, Mheshimiwa Sunkuyia, just return the notes to the owner so that I can proceed. Those are not your notes. Can you read them? (Laughter)

Hon. Temporary Speaker, he is interrupting everybody.

What is the point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is becoming a drama. There are too many points of order.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We are not discussing the Report of the Committee; we are discussing the Finance Bill as it was tabled in the House. So, nobody has the right to bully, regardless of what position they hold in this House. Nobody has the right to bully or...

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this very important matter. The economy of a country runs on diesel. When the cost of diesel goes up, the cost of transportation of every item goes up. When the cost of transportation of every item goes up, it means...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Budget Policy Statement. We must ask ourselves some very important questions as we stand here today. Are Kenyans better off today compared to 10 years ago? Is Kenya better today than it was...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to support the Committee’s Report. This Report recommends that these shares should not be sold to Kalahari Cement Limited. Rather, East Africa Portland Cement (EAPC) should be given the first opportunity to purchase the shares instead of selling them to a foreign organisation....

I hope I will not lose time on the period consumed by the point of order. If there is an opportunity for a Kenyan company that is ready and willing to buy these shares, let us prioritise the local company. East Africa Portland Cement is available and eager to make...

Madam Speaker, there is no quorum. There is no quorum.

Madam Speaker, there is no quorum! There is no quorum! There is no quorum! (Hon. Robert Mbui removed the Mace from its place) (Loud consultations) THE PROVISIONAL COLLECTION OF TAXES AND DUTIES (REPEAL) BILL

Shame on you! There is no quorum!

That we refuse! That we refuse! That we refuse!

There is no quorum! Hon. Deputy Speaker: You have attempted to remove the Mace from its place in the Chamber. Therefore, you have given the Deputy Speaker the right to call you out, and immediately ask for you to be removed out of the precincts of Parliament. I am asking...

There is no quorum! (Loud consultations)

On a point of order, please, Hon. Deputy Speaker!

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Shame on you! Shame on you two!

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to contribute to this very important Bill for our country. We have started seeing rationing, but as we lift the moratorium to allow us to enter into contracts with additional Independent Power Producers (IPPs) , my humble request to the IPPs, the drafters,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker and the Leader of the Minority Party, for giving me the opportunity today to talk about Baba. We saw Baba a long time ago while I was still in Dallas, Texas. He would come to Dallas, and we would accompany him to Houston, Texas, where we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also join my colleagues in condoling with the families of our late brothers, our former colleagues. I knew a little of Hon. F.T. Nyammo, the proprietor of Longhorn Publishers. We wish to pass our condolences to both families. May...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. (Hon. Julius Mawathe stood in his place)

Thank you, Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I wish to address the issue of KDF recruitment in Nairobi City County. We have 17 constituencies with more than 5.5 million people and yet, they are giving us only three recruitment centres. How do you recruit 17 constituencies...
