Mayaka Irene Nyakerario

Hon. Temporary Speaker, you are right. I have been watching the World Cup matches. I beg to second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The Bill was accordingly read a Third Time and passed)

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support the Business Laws (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 51 Of 2024) which is, in essence, an omnibus Bill that seeks to amend a couple of Acts of Parliament. It is in line with what the Mover said in regards to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this very important Bill. As previous speakers have said, both yesterday and today, this is a milestone Bill. It is a Bill that seeks to take care not only of the current generation but also...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I just want to add my voice to this very important piece of legislation. First of all, I congratulate my fellow nominated Member of Parliament, Hon. Umulkher, for the fantastic job she has done. I was following her progress through to the Third Reading, with...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I go on record that I reject that response in totality because it is extremely underwhelming. As we have heard, this dodder weed has affected up to 17 counties in this country. If you drive along Kisumu, Sondu, all the way to Kisii and Nyamira...

On a point of order. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : What is out of order, Hon. Mayaka? Hon. Temporary Chairman, you know when Hon. Millie mentions Linet, there are very many “Linets” who are legal counsels in this country. She needs to specify so that the accolades can...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to support the Supplementary Estimates II for 2025/2026 Financial Year. Among the proposed reallocation and additional allocation of funds, there are three very important aspects that I would like to highlight. The first aspect is that there are many cries from Kenyans...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also stand to support this Bill especially because we are largely an agricultural country. This is very important. It is worrying that it has taken us several years to review this Bill because of the importance of agriculture and the place it has in...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you, Leader of the Majority Party, for giving me the opportunity to second this Bill and for showering me with accolades as well. We learn every day from Members like you. As has been said by the Leader of the Majority Party,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I move this Motion, allow me to welcome the young Kenyans who have joined us to follow these proceedings. Patrice is a very good friend of mine, and I am happy to see him in the House together with his friends. These are the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think it is the excitement of the upcoming match. The Leader of the Majority Party says: “Ni mbio ya kwenda kuangalia mpira ya TV. (Laughter) The Leader of the Majority Party knows I am a soccer fan. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to, first of all, thank the following Members for their contributions: Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu, a very dedicated Member of the Committee, Hon. Nabulindo and Hon. Kiili for their contributions. I recognise the importance of integration, the EAC and the challenges...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I just want to add my voice to this. I felt very agitated when Hon. Wandeto tried to downplay the importance of stadiums in his contribution. We have actually seen that some of the stadiums that have been supervised by KDF, like Ulinzi Sports Complex, Wajir...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, it is very disappointing to see the allocation made to the State Department for East African Community Affairs, especially considering that its budget was increased in the last Supplementary Estimates. It has now been reduced by a whooping Ksh200 million yet as of today, this is one...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I also want to acknowledge the fact that the IEBC needs to be very well-funded because of the upcoming general elections. I also want to take this opportunity to acknowledge it. We have seen in recent by-elections they conducted, that they have done...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support this, especially on training because, as has been very evident a few minutes ago, there are Members who need reorientation so that they understand the rules of this House not to bring issues from pressure groups for us to come here...

Yes. Hon. Speaker, you know I am known in this House as the champion of local soccer. Just as Hon. Millie said, we understand that no Arsenal fan has had the chance to congratulate their team since the inception of social media, because that is the last time they won....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding delay in processing of VAT refunds and its implication on businesses. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the recent...

Okay.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me thank Hon. Ng’elechei for bringing this Statement to the House. I join fellow Kenyans in congratulating Sebastian Sawe, who brought London to a standstill the other day when he ran under two hours. I love the way Kenyans celebrated this young man. The...

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock regarding the devastating effects of the rapid spread of the dodder weed (Cuscuta species) in Kenya. The Dodder plant is...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also support the Report and the nominations of the members of the NCIC. First of all, I take this opportunity to thank the President for the very diverse list of nominees that we received. As you can see, all...
