Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I know there is a meeting of the Liaison Committee involving many chairpersons.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Defer the Motion to tomorrow afternoon.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Kirima to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the Whole House. (Hon. Moses Kirima spoke off...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary, I beg your indulgence to move this debate to tomorrow. We defer this debate to tomorrow.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I, again, beg your indulgence because the Chairperson of this particular Committee and the Chairperson of the Committee on Regional Integration...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this Chairperson is involved in another parliamentary engagement this evening and, therefore, I beg your indulgence.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Chairman. Hon. Temporary Speaker, sorry! I was used to the Committee of the whole House addressing the Chairman. Again, the Chairperson of this Committee is engaged in that meeting of chairpersons and, therefore, he is not available.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Dr Nyikal is a very diligent Chairperson and Member of this House. He was here up to about 7.30 p.m. when he went for that meeting. That is the only reason why Dr Nyikal is not here.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Privatisation Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 36 of 2025) , and its approval thereof with amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The House resumed)...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am also nomadic.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support this amendment and thank the Committee because, in line with the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State corporations, very many CEOs in many state corporations have had tenures that are beyond three years against the Mwongozo Code of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I want to support that particular amendment. I agree with Hon. Oundo that he is literally covered by the amendment by the Committee. The language in this Bill is very good. I must commend the drafters of this Bill because it says...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) He is doing a good job. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : I assigned him to be under your pupillage. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) He is simply proposing that Clause 26 be amended as was provided for in the Order Paper and a...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I wanted to support the amendment, but allow me to oppose or rather convince Hon. Oundo to allow us to carry the Committee’s proposal of four years. The medium-term planning of our budget cycle is done every three years. These programmes are...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, maybe, I also need to allay the fears of Hon. Oundo, particularly in relation to the IPO he mentioned. He is a well-schooled person and must be aware that in this country, today, unlike in the past when one could simply walk...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to support this particular amendment, especially on the question of valuation, and not just the financial status or financial position of the entity seeking to be privatised. We remember the debates on the Sessional Paper on the Kenya Pipeline IPO...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, Hon. Oundo has a point. However, if you read the provision in Clause 38, it talks about a business and asset valuation. If you are holding some beneficial ownership of shares at the Nairobi Stock Exchange, it is either part of your...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is a very good amendment because it creates clarity on where the proceeds will go. Clause 49 had suggested that proceeds from the sale of a public entity be deposited into a special interest-bearing account established for that entity’s...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, that is actually the position. If you read the old Clause 10, you realise Clause 10A is just giving some logical flow to the same qualifications. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Kasim, are you on this? Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the House reports its consideration of the Privatisation Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.36 of 2025) , and its approval thereof with amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The House resumed) IN THE HOUSE [The Temporary...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I also request Hon. Oundo to second the Motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg your indulgence regarding Order No.10 on Committee of the whole House, on the Privatization Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 36 of 2025) . I kindly request that we step this down for today because several Members have approached me about...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, he requested me to do this for him. I beg to move that the Kenya Roads (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 34 of 2025, be now read a Third Time. I also request Hon. (Dr) Nyikal to second.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I saw, at least, three Members led by Hon. Abdul, walking out when you were on your feet. When the Speaker is on their feet, Members should watch their movement. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Virtual Asset Service...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I apologise for jumping the gun. As I indicated earlier, several Members have approached me and your office, expressing their wish to file further amendments on the Privatization Bill. Therefore, I invite all Members who wish to file amendments to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, allow me to thank KENCO for that very timely Petition. I must also commend you for committing that particular Petition to the Departmental Committee on Health. The issues that they have raised are very pertinent, and they will be...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)(Bill deferred)By the close of business today, 7th October 2025, up to midnight. After that, as they say, may you forever remain quiet or until we have another Bill touching on the same issue.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (a) , I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 30th September 2025, to prioritise business for consideration during the week....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) That is okay, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank Members for this Bill, especially Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. Hon. Mboni and the Chairperson have withstood a lot of heat in consideration of this Bill. 2nd October 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 65...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I beg to support this particular amendment. It is good because it is designating the classified roads and ensuring that Kenyans know, for instance, the expressway is a national Government Class A road under the charge of the national Government...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Privatisation Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 36 of 2025) be now read a Second Time. By way of introduction, it is important to note that this is a very critical legislative initiative that presents...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on consideration of the Sessional Paper on the initial public offer (IPO) of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Limited that was moved by the Chair of the Privatisation Committee just before the short recess. A...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I was concluding on Section 53 on tribunals, saying that the publication of the Tribunals Bill is underway. It will create a distinction between the quasi-judicial and administrative tribunals. This is one tribunal that is not quasi-judicial and will not need to go to the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Two minutes and I am done.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I am sorry, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I forgot to look at the time.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)Yes, let me conclude.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, on a light note, ten voices cannot compete with Hon. TJ Kajwang’s voice. Democracy is about numbers. Therefore, the “Ayes” had it because there were more people saying “Ayes” than Hon. Kajwang’ and Hon. (Dr) Nyikal. Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 1st October 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 39 (Loud consultations)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) The issue Hon. (Dr) Otiende is raising, and you have alluded to it, is critical to public participation. You have clearly read the provisions of Article 118 of the Constitution. I wanted Hon. (Dr) Otiende to help the House as a senior counsel. When the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you can also freeze Hon. Otiende’s time because I just need...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) But we know it was outright theft. Again, those are some of the issues I want to challenge the Committee to ensure that in line with the recommendation that they have put, since the Social Health Authority (SHA) is taking up the work of the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Then above the knee and then at the hip.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I hope he will have an opportunity to speak to this issue so that he not only says in his position that he has taken up a challenge, but confirms to the House that he will ensure those people face their day in court. Again,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I hear Hon. Raphael Wanjala saying he has taken up the challenge. I hope we will see people in court.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) We must not use a public elective office as a laundry for laundering or cleaning people who have pilfered public funds. The former CEO of NHIF must answer to those issues. Hon. Wanjala, you must ensure that, through the Committee on Implementation, Jeff Mwangi, the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture. Upon reviewing this Report, it is evident that the Committee dedicated considerable man-hours to examining audited reports from various financial years, some dating...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Air Passenger Service Charge (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 35 of 2025) , be now read a Third Time. I request Hon. CPA Rutto to second.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I request Hon. Bowen Kangogo to second the Motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Air Passenger Service Charge (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 35 of 2025) , and its approval thereof with amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move the clause with one slight correction. The Order Paper reads, “…is amended in sub-section (3) ”. That should read “…in sub-section 1 (d) ”. With that correction, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 be deleted and replaced with...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House: 30th September 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 2 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)including taking care of orphans – and I can hear the Member for Taveta whispering - also taking care...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will start from where Hon. Junet stopped. But before I do that, I must say that Hon. Millie has a very sharp eye. Hon. Njeri passed in front of me but unfortunately I did not notice anything. You can be...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: 19th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 8 Hon.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I thought Hon. Osoro completed his time. He has lost the chance now, as he is very busy in Kisii today. I rise to support the Computer Misuse and Cyber Crimes (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly No 41 of 2024) by Hon. Aden Daudi Mohammed. I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Just one minute, Hon. Temporary Speaker, to conclude that point. I had a conversation with one of our top doctors, Dr Gikonyo of Karen Hospital, the other day. I was with a friend who said she had seen something circulating about Dr Gikonyo promoting certain...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, my good friend, Hon. Robert, was doing very well in articulating what is provided for in these Regulations. However, when it turns to political issues, he has selective hearing on what the President says. I would like to clarify to him that...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I hear what Hon. Robert Mui says and it is, indeed, important that we have some set criteria to determine who qualifies for affordable housing and how these houses are allocated. That is precisely...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Let me not call it rudimentary law. At least, I studied some commercial law or basic law. Those are basic elements of law. You do 13th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 10 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)need not be a lawyer to interpret Articles 109,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu UDA) Hon. Speaker, let me join the Leader of the Minority Party in expressing concern over that issue. I want to take a different trajectory because we have been through this since the advent of the bicameral Parliament after the 2010 Constitution in 2013. Unfortunately, Hon....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I beg to second this Motion. As the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has mentioned, this is in recognition of the important business we need to conclude before our recess begins. Members are aware that prior to the alteration of our Calendar, which we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I spoke to the Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Karemba, who is newly elected. Unfortunately, he is out of the country on official business. He has indicated that a number of petitions are ready and has communicated the same to the Clerk of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, just to inform the House that 'Kimuli' is actually the devil. So, Hon. Kimilu is right that he cannot be referred to as 'Kimuli'. If anything, Hon. Kimilu Joshua is a very good Christian.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichungw’ah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30 (3) (b) on Hours of Meeting, this House resolves to hold a morning sitting on Thursday, 14th August 2025, commencing at 10:00 a.m.
