Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate the concurrence from the National Treasury. As I rise to support the Finance Bill, I have reservations and I hope Hon. Jude Njomo will speak to some of the reservations again that the National Treasury has expressed, especially on...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Speaker…

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Hon. Speaker, I was not referring to a particular Member. I only said that it would be shameful even for me, as a Member of Parliament, to purport to curtail the powers of the House in terms of matters of legislation. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was saying that the myriad of media advertisements encouraging Kenyans to go into non-productive activities, like betting, is an issue we need to deal with. I will be bringing amendments that will also make it very punitive to advertise when...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Of Course, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I appreciate that the petitioner is from my constituency. He is actually from a village called Ondiri in Kikuyu Constituency. He is a gentleman who knows what he is talking about. I wanted your guidance because you have already committed...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to second the procedural Motion. As the Leader of the Majority Party has said, besides the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade being away… At this time the Committee is very busy considering the Finance Bill which...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Yes, Hon. Speaker, it is on the same. As much as you have given your guidance on the Orders No. 8,9 and 10 and clearly guided the House that they are not money Bills, it is also important because we have seen it. I am...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As much as the Leader of the Minority Party is shouting from here that he can take the judgement to court, I think the issue that Hon. Anthony Oluoch raises is an issue that we deliberated on last week before we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Anthony Oluoch is well guided as we all are on that matter. It is important to mention two things that have been mentioned by the Leader of the Majority Party. One is that it is a prerogative of these Hon....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No. 11 of 2018) was referred to the National Assembly through a message from the Senate that was read in the House on 6th June 2018 that sought the concurrence of the National...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Sorry. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that this House adopts the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No. 11 of 2018) which was brought to this House on 6th June 2018.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Yes. We have since considered it and therefore wish to move it for Second Reading. As I was saying, we have since considered this Bill and we can confirm that this Bill, as approved by the Senate, conforms with the Division of Revenue Act, 2018,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to reply. Let me begin by thanking Members for the very good contributions that they have made to this Bill. A few things: I did hear Hon. Atandi mention that there was no money allocated to the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Soipan Tuya) : What is out of order, Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee? Hon. Washiali, please, take your seat. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) On a point of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in condemning these sugar barons. But more importantly, we should ask ourselves as a House what role we are playing especially in dealing with these cartels. (Loud consultations) Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP)...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) I spoke on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, not on this Motion. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : I have the record. He has not spoken to this. Members, you cannot do that just from your other cartels there. He has...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for your protection. I was saying that we need to ask ourselves, as a House, what is our role and more so, to what the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party has alluded to. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I...

Hon. Ichung’wah Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also note you have noticed where I am seated, since you had earlier referred to Hon. Nixon Korir, the Member for Lang’ata, as the Member for Kikuyu, in my name. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Tuya) : Apologies, and I...

Hon. Ichung’wah On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I rise on Standing Order No. 97 on limitation of debates. Considering that this matter of committees has been dragging for some time, I urge the House that we limit the debate for this Bill and ask the Mover to reply...

Hon. Ichung’wah Hon. Speaker, it is not really a point of order per se, but to take this opportunity to profoundly thank you for that Communication. It offers very good guidance to the House in terms of how we conduct business. Hon. Speaker, more importantly, is your resolve to stick...

Hon. Ichung’wah On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Ichung’wah Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am rising on a point of order on a matter I consider very important on the security of Members of Parliament. In line with your earlier Communication and also as Chair of PSC, I strongly feel that at times, in view of the...

Hon. Ichung’wah Is it the rain? It is too heavy, Hon. Speaker, but it is okay. You can see the anxiety. I get concerned when I notice it is only Members of the Jubilee Coalition who sit in this Chamber, and who are, at certain times of the day, within...

Hon. Ichung’wah On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Ichung’wah Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My point of order, despite the question of relevance, is on the misleading insinuations that Hon. Chris Wamalwa is advancing. One, he is already propagating – and the Leader of the Majority Party was very clear that we should not be selling propaganda...

Hon. Ichung’wah Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Besides what the Leader of the Majority Party has spoken about providing the Kshs9.2 billion for the IEBC, it is not just for the sake of providing money to the IEBC. We have said that the IEBC...
