KIPLAGAT DAVID

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) As we proceed, I know that we are coming to an end on responses to requests for statements.

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Okay.

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am purposely here today to receive a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the request for statement that I had sought in this House. However, I am a bit perturbed. Hon. Speaker...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I oppose the Senate Amendments. We need to tell our governors that we are not living in an utopian society. We are living in Kenya, and we know that the Finance Bill, 2024 was not assented to,...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to set the record straight that I support the Report of the Committee on Appointments, with reservations on the rejection of Stella Langat. As we have heard, the lady has been a Director at the Ministry of Interior and...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) I know the lady. She has a very beautiful brain. She is elegant and can perform. So, as I finish, I know my friend, Hon. Mbadi, Mr. Chirchir, Hon. Murkomen and all the other nominees are going to perform wonders. The only thing we urge...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you. I rise to support, though reluctantly, the Supplementary Budget that has been tabled in this House. I say reluctantly because, as the representative of the people of Soy, we had a lot of expectations when we were initially preparing the Budget. One of...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) No. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As a member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, I rise to support the Report that has been tabled by our able Chairman. Firstly, regarding the maize subsidy program that was implemented just before elections, our investigations,...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) How can Hon. Ferdinand, the Member for Kwanza, refer to Members as passers-by? I do not know what he means by that. He should apologise and withdraw that statement.

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. A moment! Hon. Member for Soy, what is your point of order? Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you. I can barely hear the Chairperson of the NG-CDF, and neither do I have a copy of that...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At least, I have now received the Statement. He was not audible. I thank the Chairperson of the Committee on NG-CDF for trying to bring this Statement to the House, despite the inadequacy in terms of addressing the real issues....

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a right to respond. It is only that all my statements came at once today. I wish I had contributed on the other one. I was unable to finish my contribution. Hon Deputy Speaker You are eating into your minutes....

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was worried that I had been forgotten. The matter I am raising is of national importance, especially to farmers in the North Rift. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker What is your point of order, Hon.DK? Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, you and I come from the North-Rift and we know that farmers are now planting. They have been queuing for the subsidised...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education for that Statement on challenges the students are undergoing in terms of applying for university allocations through KUCCPS. My only problem as an expert in ICT, with over...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) What is out of order, Hon. Wangwe? You are my friend!

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is not a story. I thought Hon. Wangwe read the Report. Maybe, he did not have time to at look it and yet, it is a public document. The National Land Commission (NLC) went to the Supreme Court seeking...

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) What is out of order, Hon. Oundo? 22nd February 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 30 Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA)Hon. Oundo, what is out of order?

Hon. David Kiplagat (Soy, UDA) Hon. Oundo, if you were listening to the Chairperson, he clarified it is Ojienda. (A Member spoke off the record) Sorry! A law firm called Ojienda. I think that is clear because names from western are a bit confusing. It is a law firm. In...
