The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Thank you. Hon. Makali also wants to put in a word because he is a neighbour. Please give him the microphone.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Members, before someone else catches my eye, I wish to welcome pupils of Ilkelunyeti Primary School from Kajiado East, Kajiado County, seated in the Public Gallery.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) I do not know whether the system is the same as it used to be before this new Constitution came into force. During the early days, there was also a provision to recommend that this person should not hold a public office anymore. It...

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Wangwe, are you an accountant or an auditor by profession? No wonder you are so thorough and professional. (Question proposed) Let us have the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Bisau

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) He said angemmaliza. It means to kill. Withdraw that immediately, please. We do not take the law in our hands in a law-making institution—the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. Yes, Proceed. Withdraw and apologise. You have the microphone. Umeomba msamaha?

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Yes, indeed. Hon. Bady, you have used unparliamentary language. You cannot say that. Did he say he would kill him? What did he say?

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) What is your point of order, Hon. Chiforomodo? Sawa Mhe. Kassim. Pole.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Bady Bady.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) I think he is attentive.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Ndindi Nyoro.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Mwenje, you make a lot of sense. But in this case, Standing Order 209 states that:

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Mwenje, what is your point of order? Are you on a point of order or a point of information? Proceed.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hang on, I want to enrich what you have said. Is the CEO of the NSSF in 2021 still around? He is not. The same goes for the CEO who was there in 2017. That is a good eight years ago. So, it goes...

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Just a moment….

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Is the CEO of the Child Welfare Society of Kenya in the Financial Year 2015/2016 still holding office? I will be surprised if the CEO of the National Cancer Institute of Kenya who was there in 2019 is still around. He is not.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Baya.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe, proceed.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Komingoi, do you know we still have three other clauses? And I am told you are a Member of the Committee.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I also condole with the families of the two great leaders, former Members of Parliament. I had the pleasure of being a friend of Hon. F.T. Nyammo for well over 25 years, long before he became a Member of Parliament for Tetu,...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also wish to add my voice to the issue of Kenya Defence Forces recruitment. The Kenya Defence Forces is one of the demonstrations of the sovereignty of this country. They protect our territorial integrity as one unit called Kenya. I am...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Speaker, the situation of Hajj for Kenyan pilgrims is very pathetic. It is the worst in that place. Failed States like Somalia are much better than us.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) We are doomed with this! 19th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 12

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Speaker, this is an august House, a House of leaders. Our young boys and girls in the Public Gallery and in the Speakers Gallery and across the country are watching us. Instead of celebrating our own, why must we celebrate a team from the...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Chairman says a design is being undertaken, but this is 62 years after Independence. For a priority road, that is unacceptable. Hon. Chairman, when will the design be completed? Can you give us a timeframe on its completion so that...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Chairman, since you are going to have the Director-General and the Cabinet Secretary available to respond to this, could you address the entire northern Kenya? The Madogo–Garissa–Dadaab–Liboi– Harhar Road already has a design contract awarded to a company and the...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) If you attempt to scale the fence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, you will be shot in the head immediately. There are snipers positioned to prevent any intrusion.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I also begin by sending my condolences to all those who have lost loved ones in the incidents that have taken place in this country over time. Some countries are autocratic and others despotic. There are even countries that are ruled by dictators,...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) My message goes to two categories of people. First, anyone who is a retired public officer and is drawing a pension, whether a former speaker, judge, president or prime minister, must be held to a higher standard. If they take part in activities that threaten...

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim)Notwithstanding the fact, that

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Three of them came from Homa Bay. Where does Hon. Caroli Omondi come from?

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) No. (Laughter)

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Hon. Rozaah Buyu.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I have been around for a fairly long time both in the country and in this House. The original idea, object, and spirit of hardship allowance was to try and give an incentive to the areas that were historically marginalised so that the...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) You practised law in Mandera and the only way you could get there was by flying. The road was impassable. I do not have a metre of tarmac in my constituency and many other constituencies are like that. Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) I want you to indulge me on this because you have seen this area...
