Keynan Wehliye Adan

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. May I also join my colleagues in congratulating the newly elected Members of Parliament and their constituents. This is a win for democracy, civility, the rule of law, and adherence to our Constitution. It also demonstrates that in modern-day Kenya, there...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have known Hon. Munyao as a nominated MP, Secretary-General of DP, and Minister for Livestock. In 1999, when Members of Parliament started agitating for their rights – I vividly remember then Hon. Munyao was living in Langata – we...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, access to education is a basic right. Before the Government of His Excellency President William Ruto, Northern Kenya was used as a recruitment bureau. People used to create an artificial security crisis, recruit teachers in Northern Kenya and post them. But within...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I first interacted with Mr. Lekulo in 1990 at Moi University, when both of us were pursuing a degree course and since then, we have been members of Moi University Alumni Association. Then, as fate would have it, later on, he...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, I was just watching your facial expression, and you are bored with the answer given. You are wondering whether this is the Kenya Airways that you are used to or a different one. That answer was referring to another Kenya Airways, maybe in...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) For how long? The Chairman has referred to one year and glorified it. Maybe they will try to mend their books. Over the last few years, Kenya Airways has been making losses. What measures has the Kenya Airways (KQ) management 12th November 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) I pray that before your Speakership ends; you lead the leadership and Members of this House to use the Isiolo-Modogashe-Habaswein-Wajir-El Wak- Mandera Road. This is not the first time we are raising a Question, requesting for a Statement or seeking commitment from the government regarding...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, the Mover and originator of the Bill is a seasoned lawyer and an experienced parliamentarian. The person seeking the re-committal of specific clauses of the Bill is a seasoned lawyer and an experienced parliamentarian. It is in the interest of this House to...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues in thanking the Committee for bringing this important Motion but we must always tell the truth. The East African Community is going through serious challenges. Many states are not contributing. There are plenty of regional rivalries....

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for that guidance. In your public life as a lawyer and a magistrate, I know you used this road.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before the Chairman responds... (Hon. Joseph Makilap consulted loudly)

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At face value, this Bill is very good. It attempts to professionalise the services of great men and women of a very important sector of our economy. Over the years, we have just been paying lip service, saying the backbone...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) I was just saying that this is the first stage. It is very good. We support it, go ahead. Once this Bill becomes law, if for whatever reason you feel that there is need to add further inclusions because the passage of Bills is very...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Yes? Societal erosions. So, Kenyan culture—we cannot legislate everything. There are countries without written rules, only societal norms that guide their people. Right now, it feels like we are trying to legislate for tomorrow. Just a few minutes ago, we were discussing reproductive health. I...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Yes?

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) She is thorough. We are now doing the same for agriculture. Tomorrow, my good sister here may bring another issue, but holistically, what are we saying? We need to define the Kenyan norm, whether it is new, old, or a blend of both. That is...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, I want to thank Hon. Bashir. In addition to the matter, there is the issue of the court case between the Council of Governors and the Ministry on the same levy. In the last kamukunji, you informed us that everything had been sorted...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) The responses and avenues being suggested are very good. Will I be right to ask the Chairman to ensure that those joint resolutions between the Council of Governors and the Ministry are properly implemented? When that meeting takes place between 23rd and 25th October 2025,...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Can I finish my contribution, Hon. Temporary Speaker?

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Last week, this House interacted with a response from the Ministry, which was not only wanting, but completely out of place. I almost sought your indulgence today to be patient with us because we are dealing with an entirely neglected...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) I want to indulge you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Maybe your ears are not used to the livestock music, but that is on a light note.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Motion, but it is also good to be honest with ourselves. Do we need a Motion urging the Government at this time? I want to remind my good friend, Hon. Charles Nguna, that we are...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) At times, we are disadvantaged because of our knowledge. As I conclude, I want to say that this is not a House of lamentations. This is not supposed to be a House of lamentation, but of action. The budget-making process and 1st October 2025 NATIONAL...
