Ng’elechei Caroline Jeptoo

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I want to appreciate the Member for the response, albeit very late. They have taken more than three weeks to respond to this Request for a Statement. Nonetheless, there is no committal from the Government. The Statement neither commits nor gives any...

That is okay, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on this Statement request. There is need for frequent reviews. For example, in Elgeyo Marakwet County, the Equalisation Fund resources are given to only one constituency, yet all the four constituencies have similar problems....

I am here. Proceed and give an undertaking based on the urgency of this matter. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We will respond in two weeks. Will you give a response in two weeks? We can also give the response in the first week after recess, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, according to the Standing Orders, maybe we can give a response after seven days, but not tomorrow. Fair enough. We will give you seven days. Thank you.

Next week on Wednesday, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is so directed. On another aspect, yesterday, the Speaker of this House directed that the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations respond to my question that I asked more than two weeks ago on an urgent issue....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the relevant Ministry should take note that Kenyans in the diaspora remit Ksh650 billion to the economy of this country every year. Whenever they face challenges abroad, it affects even their families back home. In the case of this lady, she was killed barely six weeks after...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to insist that this is an active matter. The family and the community want answers because the deceased’s body has not been repatriated. I request the Chairperson of the relevant Committee to deal with that issue as soon as possible. It was...

Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome the students and the teachers from Baringo County. Baringo County neighbours Elgeyo Marakwet County, and we share so many things. I encourage all of you that the sky is the limit. There is a possibility that if...

Hon. Speaker, the Member for Kirinyaga Central Constituency, Hon. Joseph Gitari, requested to be appraised on the delay in the operationalization of administrative units in his constituency. Particularly, the Hon. Member sought to be informed of: phased implementation is necessitated by budgetary constraints that affect deployment of personnel, establishment of...

Hon. Speaker, the Chairperson is present and I believe he can comment on that one. Once you start, you go up to the end. This is not a relay. Thank you.

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of Ms Sheila Chepkorir Tanui, a Kenyan citizen, in Sydney, Australia. Ms...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, every athletic winner in the Republic of Kenya, either lives in Elgeyo Marakwet or trains in Elgeyo Marakwet. This one trains in Elgeyo Marakwet County. STATEMENTS ACHIEVEMENT OF MR SEBASTIAN SAWE IN THE LONDON MARATHON Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 259D (2) (b)...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Ng’elechei, what is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The burning issue is that I have just remembered the day Mr Sebastian broke the world record. All the newspapers and leading media houses in the world made him the...

I urge all the media houses and even Kenyans who have airtime to at least appreciate the young and upcoming Kenyans. It is not about politics each and every time for 24 hours. (Hon. Caroli Omondi spoke off the record) Hon. Temporary Speaker, kindly protect me from Hon. Caroli. In...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also wish to join you in welcoming the Members of Parliament from Ghana to the National Assembly of Kenya. Thank you for coming to benchmark with us and to learn from us. The day-to-day management and subsistence of the National Assembly is courtesy of...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to inform you that I am the Member for Elgeyo Marakwet. Marakwet is just half of the county. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the debate on this Bill. I am concerned because the Senator, who is the sponsor of this Bill, is...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, a very good example of loitering animals are chickens. In my village, during the day, we have many chickens loitering because people may have plenty of food, or because there was a sherehe at your homestead. In the evening, those chickens go back to their homesteads. So,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, protect me from Hon. Rindikiri.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, you now understand the challenges you will face with pastoralists. A pastoralist has just walked into the chamber and, without even knowing what we have been talking about, is already over the roof boiling just because I said livestock theft is normal theft, just like any other...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I did not dispute the existence of robbery with violence. There are people who steal your livestock violently and others who con you by false pretence and go away with your animals. So, it depends on how the animals are stolen. There are thieves who...

Yes, that is what matters, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to add my voice to this Petition. It is about time we consider adding resources to KWS, if that is their challenge, because they do not compensate anyone. The destruction by wildlife is so massive in this country that it cannot be...

Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I also want to condemn in the strongest terms possible, the sentiments of the former Deputy President while he was in Kisii. He is proving to us that we did a very noble thing of impeaching him in this...

It does not matter how close we are. Hon. Zaheer Jhanda is a Kenyan. He is the Member of Parliament for Nyaribari Chache in Kisii County. He is not an Indian. Indians who are in Kenya are also Kenyans. They are either Kenyans by naturalisation or by birth. Everybody has...
