Sergon Florence Jematiah

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also add my comments on the passing of the Budget. This is an opportunity for Kenya to utilise this year's Budget in many ways. It is a Budget that has given us a sense of equity....

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you for giving me the opportunity. I welcome the students from Tiaty Constituency in Baringo County. I come from Elgeyo/Marakwet County. They are our neighbours and you can hardly tell who comes from Elgeyo/Marakwet or Tiaty. My dear students, it does not matter...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I would like to say that I am a member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I also want to thank my Chairman, Hon. Mbadi… Sorry! Hon. Atandi. Of course, I am talking about Hon. Mbadi...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I also support this amendment. In the world today, the environment is becoming a real threat to human species. I can remember I sat with my colleague and sister when she was preparing this Bill on the eucalyptus species. Most...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to add my voice in congratulating these Cabinet Secretary nominees, starting with Hon. Ruku, who is our colleague. I knew and worked with Hon. Ruku before we came to Parliament. We served together when I was a...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) No, I am not, Hon. Speaker. I also want to infer to the statements from the new Committee Chairs and Vice-Chairs. If the Member was listening, they always referred to and thanked some appointing authority. That means there is always a way through which...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also congratulate those appointed to serve as Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons. I nevertheless have a lot of concerns about the disparity of gender in Parliament. Honestly, Hon. Speaker, if you look at the Departmental Committees, out of almost 20, we...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Still on Standing Order 173, what Hon. Donya mentioned is also a replica in the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. When you talk about the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) , it is a meeting for...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you so much. I also want to add to what my colleagues have said about the Supplementary Budget, which will culminate into our main Budget in the next three months. From the onset, I declare I am a Member of the Budget and...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) I am sorry, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I second this timely Bill, I reiterate what the Leader of the Majority Party has said that it is important that we pass it immediately. I do not envy being a governor in Kenya today because of...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. Thank you. (Question proposed)

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is not very palatable to be a member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. However, we did our best. The work of the committee is not done by its members only, but by the departmental committees...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you. Women naturally are nurturers and given an opportunity, we are able to make things work. As a leader, I understand that there is a lot of differences between when men lead and when women lead. Women will listen. It will take them...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in supporting this very fundamental Bill. I congratulate the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, and the Members of the Committee, for coming up with a very elaborate Report that guides...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) The Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives is chaired by Hon. Gakuya. He is deputised by Hon. Marianne Kitany.

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) That is a vice-chairperson. I am talking about chairpersons. I sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. They appear before me and I know it is only one chairperson who is a lady out of 20 departmental committees. It is very unfair that we...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you. I also join the Members who have spoken before me. I support and weigh my thoughts into this Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy of 2025. This Report has come at a very good time when we are right in the middle of our...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. I congratulate my colleague and friend, Hon. Wamaua, for her consistency in ensuring this Bill has returned to the Floor. As you can see, the Bill came into place in 2023—one of the most...

Hon. Jematiah Sergon (Baringo County, UDA) Thank you. Most Members who have spoken before me have clearly made very good points. I will not belabour much. Sub-county education offices will enable and correct most of the injustices happening within the education sector since devolution came. We have realised that education...
