NZENGU, PAUL MUSYIMI

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I want to contribute on matters Mwache Dam. As I address it, I want to ask for a clarification. I want to be guided on whether the money that is appropriated to the presidency...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not have any other opportunity to request for fairness for my constituents. So, I stand by my demand that if we are appropriating money for the presidency, then that money should be directed to honour that pledge. I stand corrected. The Departmental Committee on Blue...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this discussion. I thank the Speaker of the National Assembly for allowing this Motion to be debated at this special time, so that we can discuss this matter of national importance. I represent the area where this...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I believe Hon. Mwenje is out of order for discussing a matter about which he has no clue. This Member was born and raised in Nairobi but lacks understanding of the rural setting. I, therefore, I request that you rule him out of order and that he...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report by the Budget and Appropriation Committee. I want to congratulate the Committee for appropriating money for higher education. I have seen that money has been allocated to take care of more universities and other important educational...

Hon. Speaker, I was expressing our frustrations as a Committee. In this final Report, it seems that the National Treasury has some hidden cards. They bring the Budget Estimates, then underground, they also introduce new monies. For example, in the water sector, over Ksh4 billion was introduced that was not...

Yes, Hon. Speaker. I want to refer whoever is concerned to that Schedule in the Report where it has been reported severally that, for example, there are Votes 1104 and 1109. There are several monies that have been brought from the National Treasury, and it is written. For example, I...

Hon. Speaker, with all due respect to the Leader of the Majority Party, my question is very clear. Yes, Hon. Nzengu. Ksh800 million has been introduced. It is a bulky amount that is not itemised. It is just referred to as money allocated to a pool. How can we be...

I do not mind being informed.

Thank you. I have been appropriately informed, but, Hon. Speaker, I will still continue with my submission as planned. [The Speaker (Hon. Moses Wetang’ula) left the Chair] regions, and I will make it clear to this country that this Parliament has been involved in perpetuating skewed development.I submit, Hon. Temporary...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to welcome students from Kamuwongo Mixed Secondary School from Mwingi North Constituency. I welcome them to Parliament, the august House, and encourage them that is a step in the right direction. It reminds me of the years when I was...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to support the amendment. I thank my sister Hon. Donya for donating the two minutes to me. I support the amendment especially compelling the Cabinet Secretary to promote awareness. Many people do not fully understand sexual offences. Young people, including...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Yes, I would like to welcome the students from Mavoko Constituency on behalf of the Member of Parliament, Hon. Makau. Indeed, this is a way of learning how Parliament operates. Hopefully, in future, one of them may become the next Member of Parliament of Mavoko...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion on the proposed amendment to the Teachers Service Commission Act. The Motion is timely, and the amendment is important. I have, in the past, received petitions from Deputy Principals from Kitui County, numbering more than 200 of them....

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Nzengu? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise under Order No. 97. This debate started yesterday, and Members are more or less saying the same things. The message is the same. I beg the House to terminate the...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, I would like to thank the Mover of the Motion, Hon. Farah, for highlighting the situation affecting many parts of the country, including Kitui County. Kitui County shares borders with Tana River County and...

Yes. Proceed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the National Cohesion and Integration Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 74 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. This Bill aims to repeal the National Cohesion and Integration Act (Cap. 7) , which was enacted as a direct response...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank Members who got an opportunity to contribute to the Motion. I appreciate the comments they have made. This is to clarify that, in my moving notes, I indicated that we will give the Commission teeth through an...

Thank you. I rise under Standing Order 43 (2) to ask the House to discuss a matter of national importance in reference to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG- CDF) . Money for most constituencies was disbursed but it is sitting idle in banks. It is not helping communities...

I am well-guided, Hon. Speaker. Communities nominate them to form the PMC. Since this is not an officially recognised or registered institution to execute roles of agents of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and all the related requirements, we now have a stalemate. We do not know what we are...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to welcome the students from Mwingi Central to the 13th Parliament. Congratulations for making it to this place. In 1988, I was a Class 8 student. During the transition period from primary school to secondary school, I used to come...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank the Members who have contributed to the debate on the Bill. I want to particularly thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, who took a lot of time to go through the Bill and elaborate...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to make my contribution on the Report that has been brought to the House by the Public Accounts Committee. At the outset, I congratulate the team for work well done. I also want to congratulate Hon. Tindi Mwale for the...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Mung Beans Bill (Senate Bill No.13 of 2022) be now read a Second Time. The Bill was read the First Time in the Senate on Wednesday, 15th February 2023 and thereafter, it was committed to the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for allowing me to speak to this matter as well. From the onset, I support the Report. There has been confusion, misunderstanding or misinterpretation by many people out there about the ND-CDF. And as many Members have contributed and said, this is the only Fund...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity that I have waited for since yesterday. From the outset, I oppose this Bill. There are many reasons why I oppose it. One of them is that it increases the levy on clinker, an important component of cement.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the Finance Act of 2023, it is reported that the road maintenance levy was not enough because of an increment in the price of petroleum products. This year, the same mistake is being repeated. The price of cement and steel went up because of the...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Nzengu, what is your point of order? Which Standing Order is it under? I rise under Standing Order 1. It is not available to you. That is for the Hon. Speaker. I seek your guidance, Hon. Speaker. Looking at the interest of...
