Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. First, I acknowledge that this is a good initiative. However, I have several reservations that must be addressed for the Bill to serve Kenyans effectively and objectively. First, the Bill does not clearly define the Infrastructure...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I highly appreciate it. This is an amendment Bill that, if I did not contribute to, would be a criminal offence in my profession. Secondly, I appreciate Hon. Abdul Haro for being concerned about the teaching fraternity. Although TSC is...

Would you kindly give me half a minute? Yes, please conclude. You have half a minute. PWDs should not be left out. Strengthening the quality management system is important. For instance, when you talk of our curriculum changes, we were in 7-4-2-2, then 8-4-4, and now we are in the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to the most distinguished Canon Dr Ida Betty Odinga for being nominated to this position. Allow me also to recognise and appreciate the President, Dr William Samoei Ruto, as a scholar who saw it wise that...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also rise to congratulate all the newly elected Members in the recently concluded by-elections. They have a task to deliver on behalf of their respective constituents. We must strongly and objectively guard our political parties, so that their principles and...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. May the late Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga rest in peace. Raila Amolo Odinga was God-sent. When I came into political limelight when nominations were being held as I was campaigning after resigning as Chief Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Roads in Kisumu County, barely two...

I would like to say that, Hon. Speaker, as politicians of today, we must be resilient. We must be focused. We must truly be there for the people of Kenya. We must put tribalism aside. We must be honest. We must be transparent. We must nurture and mentor the young...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to respond to the questions I had asked, as tackled by the Departmental Committee on Education. Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to submit my apologies for not having been in Parliament yesterday, at the time that I was called. I had gone...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute, and for spearheading the love for sports. You have given a clear framework for others who are yet to come. I rise on behalf of women in this nation to confirm that truly we can lead. The athletes who...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to eulogise the late Hon. Mama Phoebe Asiyo Muga, on behalf of Homa Bay County. She was my mother. I come from Karachuanyo Constituency, where I am married. I want to register in this House that the late Hon. Phoebe Asiyo...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Bensuda, what is out of order? (A Member spoke off the record) Do not tell me to sit. We are legislators. Hon. Bensuda, address the Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am sorry, I withdraw. We are debating NG-CDF and...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to make my contribution on this Motion. As Parliament, we have to condemn with the strongest possible terms what happened yesterday. One, we must rise and be a Parliament and a nation that solves problems. We must not allow some people to settle political...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Now we want the House to be entirely silent. (Applause) Order, Hon. Bensuda. The panel never said that. A question arose, Hon. Speaker, and how the Cabinet Secretary responded is on record. We do not want a Principal Secretary who is not on his toes, tackling...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have kept your word by ensuring that the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning is with us today. That is sufficient. One second, Hon. Speaker, and this is brief. The Ksh1 billion shillings given in the last financial year was a presidential...
