LOCHAKAPONG, PETER

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. The Statement sought by Hon. Kamket is timely. Equalisation Fund projects are mistaken for county government projects. In some areas, there are lots of bureaucracy. Since the counties are the procuring entities, they treat them as their projects....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We will endeavour to respond by 2nd July.

Yes. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a response to the Statement regarding the effects of floods experienced across the country, which will be in two parts. One is a response by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. The Cabinet Secretary of Public Service, Human Capital Development and Special...

Yes, thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Committee's Report on the approval of the Chairperson and members of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) .

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on the National Disaster Risk Management Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.24 of 2023) , which is a Bill for an act of Parliament to establish the National Disaster Risk Management Authority and County...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the understanding is that when a Bill has been agreed upon in a Mediation Committee and is tabled in this House and in the Senate, we just ask Members to adopt and approve it. With those few remarks, I beg to reply. (Question put and agreed to)

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Article 113 (2) of the Constitution and Standing Order 150 (3) , this House adopts the Report of the Mediated version of the National Disaster Risk Management Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 24...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The response given by the Ministry through the Chairperson is unsatisfactory. I say this because when we look at the way this Question has been answered, especially on Page 2 of 6 where they state that the water treatment facilities are designed to achieve treatment...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think Hon. Kangogo wants to clarify something. However, from the statement, I am asking Hon. Kangogo, or even the Ministry, why it was very difficult to mention any specific place, even in Pokot. Apart from the treatment plant in Riting, it goes straight from...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to comment on the Report presented by Hon. Gikaria and the Committee. While I recognise the good intentions behind this Report concerning the development and Production Sharing Contracts for Block T6 and T7 in South Lokichar Basin, I have not seen any mention of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to commend the Cabinet Secretary and his team. We will need to fast-track the Disaster Risk Management Bill, which is at the mediation stage. Secondly, we require resources for strategic food reserves to provide relief aid. The National Drought Emergency Fund (NDEF) also needs...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Fire and Rescue Services Professional Bill (Senate Bill No. 55 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. Hon.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to comment on the President's Speech. I was a bit excited when the President said it was possible for this country to move from where it is to First World status in our lifetime. In itself, that shows the President is working around...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, Member for Kikuyu, I want to move this Bill. I beg to move that the Intergovernmental Relations (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2024) be read a Second Time. I wish to sincerely thank Members and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank all the Members who have contributed to this Bill and those who have supported. We have taken note of the concerns that have been raised. Whatever they have raised will give us insights and inform decisions in the next phase of this Bill....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Listening to the Cabinet Secretary, there are serious funding gaps in basic education. Could we take it to mean that education actors are going out of their way to find ways of filling this gap? Secondly, within the policy guidelines, are there provisions where these...
