Julius Kibiwot Melly

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) He is out of order because he is giving false lies that this paper is for the sake of the donors.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report by the Liaison Committee, where I sit as a member. This Report is very important because it provides strategies on how to manage our debt in the Medium-Term. This debt management strategy is a policy...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. All the itemised loans that we have need to be integrated into the financial systems. Even as we procure loans—and I laud what the Member for Marakwet East said—it must be done publicly. No loan should be procured by two...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Member for Funyula is completely out of order in this sense. It is a fact that this paper has been prepared adequately. We gave timelines that the National Treasury was supposed to adhere to what we said as the Liaison Committee...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. I thank Hon. Shinali who has seen it right that the gold processing sector be regulated, organised and further developed. This Bill is long overdue. I remember one time when the Government of Kenya...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) No. I will bring the Statement on the issues pertaining to the Chairperson's removal in two weeks. Thank you so much.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Member for Soy is completely out of order. We responded to his Statement here, and as the Departmental Committee on Education, we visited the University of Nairobi and found a number of issues.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) In two weeks.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I identified an issue in Clause 4 of the Bill. It states that the Fund shall, pursuant to Article 204 (1) of the Constitution, consist of one half of all revenue collected by the national Government. I will propose an...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. Equalisation Fund has been used by many developed nations to uplift areas within their countries to be at par with the rest of the country. I support this Bill because in this country, some...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I want to bring it on Tuesday next week. I will be ready with it then.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this time to condole with the families of our two honourable colleagues - Hon. Cheptumo and Hon. Moses Malulu Injendi. We came to this House with Hon. Malulu Injendi in 2013. As my colleagues have said, he was very...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Hon. Speaker, the information requested by the Hon. Member is very urgent and, therefore, two weeks is very far. 18th February 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 1

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank the Member for Soy for raising this matter. The Committee is seized of it. The University of Nairobi has been experiencing a lot of internal wrangles lately, and this has been widely covered in the media. As...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Tuesday, yes.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) I am actually an alumnus of “The University of Nairobi” and I must take it with a lot of concern.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) I will, Hon. Speaker. I think the issues that are there are quite big and historical. I agree with Hon. Oundo and the other Members that many of those issues are administrative, governance-related and financial. Those challenges have been ongoing, stretching back to the time...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) That is it.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) And the Chairman of the Council is even signing letters to sack workers and even to employ others. It is very wrong.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for bringing this important Bill. It will go a long way in promoting national development, transparency, competitiveness and more importantly, allow local contractors to really...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill is very timely and important. It will ensure that accounting officers at the two levels of Government are accountable to the people. The Bill explicitly explains the relationship between a transferring entity at the national or county Government...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beseech the Chairperson that this levy is supposed to promote coffee growing, development and more importantly to incentivise new areas to grow coffee. The 12 per cent for coffee development is the money that we levy the crop. Thirty-five per cent...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I agree with the Chairman on the issue of the Mwongozo Code of Conduct, but the CEO need not be a PhD holder. It has been known and seen that a number of very competent first-degree holders are very good...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order 53 (1) which states: “53. (1) When a motion has been moved and if necessary seconded, the Speaker shall propose the question thereon in the same terms as the motion, and debate may then take...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Member for Soy did not hear what I said. I rose under Standing Order 53 (3) requesting you to defer the putting of the Question.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support what the Chairman has said. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Thank you very much. Hon. Wamuchomba. Please, give her the microphone.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, this is one of the most progressive amendments by the Chairman. Liquoring, as we speak right now, depends on the whims of individuals. There is no specific method. That is why, at times, some coffee is said to be of high quality,...

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) I would request the Chairman to explain again why he is deleting the whole of Clause 48. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Hon. Chairman, please, give the justification to the House.

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) We deliberated the proposal by the Hon. Chair of the Committee in the 12th Parliament. It is more than being specific with fields. Management in coffee and running an institution has to have a bias in agriculture to make sure that the sector grows well....

Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. If you look at the sub-clauses the Chairman is amending, he is denying county governments their own dues. Agriculture is a devolved function. We are deleting sub-clause 4 yet the county government officer has also been given permission to inspect...
