William Kamket Kassait

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Not yet. He has not responded. I want to add something.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On the request for a Statement by the Member for Bura.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I just want to joyride on that Statement, before the Chairman responds. I want to add something little. One of the most shameful…

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you Hon. Speaker. One of the most shameful acts for a Member of Parliament is to pretend to give a response on behalf of the police to this House. We have to find a way of ensuring that a Member of Parliament does not...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) No, but, Hon. Speaker, it is obvious that he does not even know what he is talking about.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I do not want to be unfair to him. I am trying to point out a problem that is real in this country.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I want to add that even the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration is a civilian. Sometimes the statements he brings to this House is stori za jaba.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) I am telling you, Hon. Speaker. That is the reality.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, we have other agencies that come to this House and even in committees. We have to find a way of having those officers directly respond to issues, either in Plenary or in Committee. That is because a Member of Parliament is given stories...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Second Report of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 24th June 2025 on the status of implementation of the Constitution by...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I noticed in the mainstream print media that my name has been splashed in headline news as a warmonger. While I will not be intimidated by the media, allow me to say that the events ….

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was saying that I, Hon. William Kamket, the Member for Tiaty, am a Prince of Peace.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Yes, you are looking at one. I am indeed a Prince of Peace.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, the Kamket they are referring to is a different Kamket; Kamket of the media.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) I am a peace-loving Kenyan and, indeed, a Prince of Peace. I insist.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you. I am a peace-loving Kenyan.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you. While I shall not be intimidated, it is on record, and it shall remain on record, that the events of the 25th of June last year were nothing other than an attempted civilian coup led by none other than the former Deputy President,...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) There is an attempt by the print media…. 24th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 5

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Yes. Indeed, the real inciters to hatred in this country are the media, especially the print media. They are the ones who have been inciting our youths by bringing up issues that are foreign to them. They are trying to negatively portray leaders who speak...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Indeed, Hon. Speaker, if you cannot say it in three minutes, then you better not say it. I thank you for this opportunity. I also thank you for the ruling you made that the vetting of these proposed nominees continues because the attempt to block...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Yes, that is true. That was before it was renamed mighty Tiaty.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I am very happy. I just wanted to comment on how times have really change. My friend, Hon. Junet is now a big defender of certain things.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you very much. I want to join my colleague, the Member for Baringo North, in eulogising and remembering the life of Hon. Willy Kamuren. He was the first Member of Parliament for Baringo East Constituency, which was later renamed Tiaty Constituency. Those of us...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I had a similar Bill before this House during the last Parliament. Let me begin by saying that this is an enabling piece of legislation. This Bill is meant to operationalise Article 204 of the Constitution on the administration of the Equalisation Fund....

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you very much Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. (Hon. Johana Kipyegon consulted several Members loudly)

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Ms Anne Njoroge is a very dedicated officer. Therefore, that Box called the Hansard Box is very familiar to me. I served in that Box for a very long time under the guidance of that very humble and hardworking public servant....

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) I wish my colleague and former boss, Ms Njoroge, the very best in her life as she retires. The Box there, the Hansard Box, is a great Box. To all the officers of Parliament who have worked in other departments and those who have made...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker and Members. Indeed, it is a great honour to have an opportunity to pay tribute to my former boss, Ms Anne Njoroge. I joined Parliament as a Hansard Reporter in February 1997. Immediately, I was thrown into the deep...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have an interesting situation here. The Chairman himself does not believe in the answer in the reply he has brought to the House. The Chairman agrees with me and agrees with the rest of the Members that this policy...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is the Chairman to respond to the Statement sought. 16th October 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 9 REVIEW OF THE SCHEME OF SERVICE FOR APPOINTMENT OF CHIEFS AND ASSISTANT CHIEFS IN MARGINALISED AREAS

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, while I appreciate the response from the Chairman, the policy as he has stated began in 2015. From then, the positions of chief and assistant chief, which are very important positions in Government, have been watered down completely. In places where some...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, while I appreciate Hon. Osoro giving responses on behalf of the Chairperson, I find it difficult to understand his role. He is the Whip of the Majority Party. Leader of the Majority Party was here a few minutes ago. Which role is...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Which role is he playing? The Leader of the Majority Party was here. It looks like Hon. Osoro is acting as the Leader of the Majority Party. I do not know what is happening here. Can he explain to us what is happening in the...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) We want to know whether there are changes in the leadership because Leader of the Majority Party is here.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Is it in order for us to continue discussing anything for the county governments after they have taken us to court? Can they as well go to court and discuss that?

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. More than a month ago, I sought for a statement from the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the recruitment and qualifications for recruitment of chiefs and assistant chiefs, which received a lot of support from across the...
