Mugambi Murwithania Rindikiri

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very important Motion. I come from Meru where the cost of treatment of cancer is quite high. Meru is second in cases of cancer in this Republic. Many people really struggle to get cancer treatment. The cost...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Motion on approval of Ms Regina as the Principal Secretary, State Department for Trade. The task at hand is quite enormous. We know where we are coming from and where Kenya is going. The attempts...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) I stand to support this amendment. One of our Government's programmes is to enhance manufacturing. We have to look at the various inputs a manufacturer requires to achieve this. Of course, electricity is one of them, requiring various components. The requirement for firewood is dwindling....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Yes. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, this is a very important Vote. Yesterday I had the privilege of visiting one of the prisons in the company of the Cabinet Secretary and we saw there is a lot of need to increase infrastructure and other services within our...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the argument by our County Woman Representatives. This reduction is not being done 13th March 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 121 Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA)in good faith. The problem is that every time we talk about gender, we...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is a very important Vote. We even need more resources allocated to this Vote. My constituency Buuri requires affirmative action just like many other constituencies. Therefore, as we move forward, we need to be sector-specific. Some Votes are general,...

Hon. Rindikiri Mugambi (Buuri, UDA) I support this amendment. It is very important because we are dealing with the coffee sector, which has been on its deathbed. Allocating more money to re-operationalise the New Kenya Planters Cooperative Union will benefit our farmers, particularly in areas like Meru where I come...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. How are we allocating more money without a framework? There is money that is deposited into the Consolidated Fund. We need a framework to guide how to withdraw money from that Fund. There must be a law, but this Bill...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have looked at the Bill and noticed that it has met the threshold of what is required for it to be presented in this House for deliberations. I join the other Members in supporting the Bill. One note of...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Yes. Eng. Gachagua has raised a very important issue for discussion in this House. In my opinion, KeNHA is quite unresponsive. There have been numerous questions posed in this House, and we have witnessed fatalities on our transnational highways, yet this organisation has taken no...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to congratulate Hon. Mary Wamaua because this Bill has come at the right time. So many Bills are seeking to amend the Education Act and the TSC. However, since this one has come earlier, I will make my...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me contribute to this issue of standards among our education institutions, more so in the boarding primary and secondary schools. One of the problems I have encountered is the lack of a clear standard to qualify institutions to operate boarding...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am concerned about the new entrants, and those who would like to start a business. If we are going to legislate and come up with a law that takes a certain volume of capital, and there are new up-coming, we need...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Give him the microphone. I know we are rushing through something that is ... Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) We are making what I call a principle. That does not...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Committee. The CEO of the EACC will fight corruption that is perpetuated by Kenyans of all origins. Let us not look at Mr Abdi as being from a certain region. We should...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, what Hon. Junet is saying is that he is not going to seek an elective position in Mandera where he came from, if I got him right. I am sure that he was implying that. He would not go to Mandera or...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA)Than you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. By raising the threshold from Ksh1 million to Ksh5 million, we are accommodating the thriving businesses, majority of whom are start-ups and small-scale entrepreneurs. If we put them on the same scale, the vatable criteria, it means that the majority of...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) No, Hon. Speaker. I, however, thank the Cabinet Secretary, but I have a question. Right now, I have connected my Fund Manager with the Vice-Chairman and he tells me that all the money for the last financial year have been disbursed. However, my Fund Manager...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Speaker, as you put it, I am very strict with the work of my Fund Manager. I have never doubted her. That is why I said they should speak to the Vice-Chairman. She has confirmed that we have no outstanding approvals. Everything is done...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I have listened to the Mover of this Bill. I am very highly impressed by the Committee. They took time to listen to the members of the public. They analysed their views. We have 3rd December 2024...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. That is the best thing. We have a habit of people coming late only to invoke Standing Order 95. This is a very important Report. I refuse to be disrupted. I have gathered a few things relating to this Report....

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. The payment of tax is everybody's obligation.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you for this opportunity. Our children deserve education. The lucky ones like Hon. Charles Nguna whose parents took them to school early enough to be ready for university at the age of 17 years need to be 28th November 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 34...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) This is a very important amendment because many organisations are very insensitive to the welfare of workers. We have even seen many people pass on. When they go to claim their final dues, they are told there were no submissions of statutory deductions. This amendment...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) This is very important because I have seen many foreigners taking advantage of this clause the way it was before. Up to or less than can mean anything up to Ksh100,000. The Committee brought this at the best time when we have seen so many...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am an alumnus of the same university. What we are witnessing now is deterioration of various universities, including Moi University, and it often all starts like this. We should arrest the situation now at “The University of Nairobi” before it...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This Statement is very important. His Excellency the President has been talking about ICT hubs, but the Ministry is letting him down, yet this is one of his flagship projects. There is a bit of disconnect between the constituency offices...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, we need to be very careful about the terminologies that we use to refer to one another in the House. I am not a man. I am a Member of Parliament. I am speaking as a Member of Parliament. I am not...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the nominees. Hon. Jaldesa was my colleague and neighbour. My constituency borders Isiolo County. I know her very well. We both served on the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. We have been together on occasion...

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) No. She has said: “I have heard a man in this House”.

Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri, UDA) I support the Chairman of the Committee. I was here during the deliberations, and it came out very clearly. The problem we have is that we think that having so many papers make one a very good manager. The position of CEO is a managerial...
