Keynan Wehliye Adan

Hon. Speaker, I thought I was the only one, coming from a region that has been neglected over the years. When these projects were first launched, we were all excited. I have two projects in my constituency and both have stalled. Somebody should tell us where the housing levy is....

Thank you. Hon. Speaker, I wanted to say two things, and you are a living testimony of this. This House has fought for two things. From 1963 to 1989, Parliament was under state capture, and you know it. We did two things which must always be jealously protected. First, we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to make just two comments on this. This House holds the title of the “august House”. As I followed the debate yesterday and this morning, one thing that came to my mind is the history of our democracy. I do not want to...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Yes, what is your point of order, Hon. Adan Keynan? This is a House of records, and this is the first arm of Government. Article 1 of the Constitution, which I was glad to help draft, clearly stipulates that representation is the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Abductions, disappearances and goonism have no place in modern-day Kenya. The reason we have a very good Constitution is to ensure that individuals accused of a crime are subject to the rule of law. Hon. Speaker, I am sure you must have heard the recent trend...

Hon. Speaker, I second.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleague, Hon. Sunkuli. I had the privilege of serving with Hon. Konchellah as a Member of Parliament. I also served with him as a Minister under the old Constitution. I am sure you also served with him. He is one man I...

I was giving way to the other Members who are behind me.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I hope and pray that this House will remain a House of tradition. Before I comment on this Division of Revenue Bill, allow me to use the Floor of this House to express my appreciation. I am sure you followed the events in Wajir on...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. One of the things that the framers of the current Constitution thought of was to have cultural diplomacy as one of our foreign policy pillars. They were not fools. I am sure some of them were your colleagues in the legal practice. Within that cultural...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know my good friend, the Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, has offered unsolicited advice to WDM’s leadership and membership. Politics is so dynamic. I am a Member of the Jubilee Party. You know the membership of this House. We must face reality. I do not know whether...

Hon. Speaker, you and I have been around for a while. At times, we say that power is transient and sweet. I want the Chairman of the Selection Committee to listen to this because he presided over an illegality that short changed the membership of Jubilee. That must be put...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, allow me to thank the Cabinet Secretary and his two Principal Secretaries for doing a wonderful job under very difficult circumstances. This challenge has always been there. However, before I ask the question, allow me to state some historical facts. This season has...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Being the Chairman emeritus of this Committee, I had the opportunity to go through their 98-page Report. From the outset, the Committee highlighted issues on violation of human rights, sexual abuse allegations, environmental destruction, employment and labour concerns, accountability deficit, and communal and social impact...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. May I also join my colleagues in congratulating the newly elected Members of Parliament and their constituents. This is a win for democracy, civility, the rule of law, and adherence to our Constitution. It also demonstrates that in modern-day Kenya, there is no room for goonism,...
