Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also take this opportunity to welcome all the students and especially those from Kasarani, Nairobi City County. Here we have students from all over—from as far as Meru, Kisumu and many others. Mine is to tell you that it does not matter...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also support the Supplementary Appropriations (No.2) Bill. I support the Bill mostly for the Sports Fund and the funds allocated to it. I even spoke with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Sports Fund. In my...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Members like Caroli Omondi, who do not know that all the cattle stolen in the rural areas end up in butcheries and on our plates in Nairobi, are asking why I am talking about cattle rustling in Nairobi. Every butcher or person dealing in meat...

Yes, Hon. Speaker. Even as we discuss the Bill, you saw what has been happening at Ishiara Level 4 Hospital. It is very appalling. Mortuary attendants wash corpses with dirty water and embalm them. The Bill should also address such issues. Another issue, even as we discuss bouncers and watchmen...

Thank you. Recently, Truphena mentioned that she had not been given a clear mandate regarding her role as a brand ambassador for the 15 billion trees campaign. I urge the officers in charge of the project to clearly outline her responsibilities. She has asked; “Yes, I am an ambassador but,...

Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. From the outset, I support the Division of Revenue Bill more so looking at what has been happening in Nairobi; running a budget of averagely Ksh40 billion a year, with almost 60 per cent still being used to pay...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On matters KWS, even in my constituency in Langata, we have faced issues with wild animals crossing into people’s homes. We have raised these concerns several times, and the KWS must now take a strong stance in safeguarding the various parks under their care. The Nairobi...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Jalang’o. The allegations that the Member is putting out are very…

She does not have evidence about these things. You cannot just blanketly say that coaches are abusing... Those are things you cannot just say unless you have evidence. When you bring in GBV on these athletes, at least, let us stick to what we are saying. Unless you have evidence...

Yes, that she provides such evidence on what she is saying. Stick to the Bill for now and give evidence where necessary, so that the culprits can be followed. When you talk about sexual abuse and gender-based violence, those are not allegations you just throw around. Thank you, Hon. Temporary...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Thank you for bringing the Motion to the House, Hon. CNN. I hope it progresses to a Bill. I had so much to say, but these are donated minutes. I will be very quick. First, on rewards, we...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation regarding the provision of an express counter for emergency cases on the e-Citizen platform. The e-Citizen digital platform was launched...

We are talking about fast-tracking issues here. The Committee should also try and fast-track this request, even if it is for a week. There are reasons why this is coming up. The need for a priority counter on e-Citizen should be fast- tracked. (Laughter)

Can I have the microphone? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Even as you fast-track this request within the week, we will have very important celebrations and prayers in the next few months: Ramadhan and people travelling to Mecca for Haji. We need those services. As a Member of Parliament representing...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to mourn one of the key pillars of the Luo community and its leadership. Hon. Dalmas Otieno Anyango was one of the leaders who inspired many of us to join politics, be effective in legislation and champion leadership anchored in development....
