Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I reply, allow me to thank the Members who have contributed in support of this Bill. Hon. Atandi has alluded to the fact that the Director General of the Kenya Roads Board is in office only because he is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill No.2 Bill of 2025 be now read a Second Time. This is a short Bill consisting of two clauses, which aims to undo what was enacted in the 12th Parliament...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) As I stated, this amendment also aims to enhance efficiency in the delivery of services within our State corporations, particularly in the road sector. Members of Parliament, being some of the principal clients of this road sector, may hear from directors general who believe they...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I think that matter is more or less settled between the two chairpersons. We should not be worried. This is the beauty of democracy. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is protecting his tuff, and the Chairman...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I cautiously support that amendment. The amount of Ksh25 million for a distillery is not too much to ask for any distiller, whether a micro, small or big distiller. Therefore, I wish we had restricted that provision probably to a period of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I was merely alerting the Serjeant-at-Arms that this Chamber is freezing cold. The office of the Serjeant-at-Arms should be aware of the changing weather patterns. So, that when we enter the cold season like now, they raise the temperatures slightly to help keep...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, what is it?

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 17th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 44 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)I rise to support this Bill in its Second Reading. Hon. Temporary Speaker, before I proceed with my remarks on the Bill, allow me to express my disappointment with...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is because of the kind of unpalatable things he is saying about the House which are untrue. As a Member of Parliament, he is aware that last year, the Committee listened to people and brought amendments. I can ascertain that....

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion for the approval of Ms Peris Muthoni Kimani, Benjamin Juma Imai and Prof. Colette Suda I am very careful not to use the word "despite." Despite this list having only one man, I support....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you Hon. Speaker. I beg to second. As my able deputy has said, reduction of timelines on these budget-related Bills is important for us to be able to conclude this business before the end of the financial year. Bearing in mind, that we are...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am mentioning these things because they are important and because of the misinformation and disinformation campaign that the Chair alluded to. Kenyans are made to believe that there is nothing in the Finance Bill to benefit them. In conclusion, there are...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you need to inform the Hon. Member for Kitui Central that I am not ‘this guy’. I am the Member for Kikuyu Constituency. My name is Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, and the Leader of the Majority Party. I am more senior than Kalonzo...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. As my good friend, Dr Makali Mulu, was saying, if all the recommendations contained in this Report are implemented by the National Treasury, we will need to do very little. Allow me to pick...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I rise to oppose the amendment. I want to agree that there have been issues on accountability, as Hon. Makali has said. Hon. Makali has been a very diligent Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Secondly, there was a Cabinet...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Just to reinforce the request of that statement by Hon. ‘Lochaks’ and the other one where the Member speaks about a Member of the Committee, I have a request to the Committee. As he says, this is a second request for statement on illegal mining....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Ideally, we should even have a board that licenses miners or the people who are engaging in the mining business; not one or two Ministry officials deciding whom to license. Just as we have the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) in the gambling or...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I agree with Prof. Guyo that this is a matter that is still under investigation and we need to give investigating authorities time to verify whether even that admission was legitimate. You may also be admitted for other things, especially when it is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (a) , I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 3rd June 2025, to prioritise business for consideration during this week. With...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support ratification of this Agreement. As the Mover said, this Agreement was adopted in June 2023 in New York. So far, almost 123 countries have signed onto it and about 26 have ratified it. Therefore, we should not...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I just want to inform the House that Hon. Kaluma is from Homa Bay County. Hon. Millie Odhiambo is from Homa Bay County. Hon. Caroli Omondi is from Homa Bay County. And the debate is about the law of the sea, environmental...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Any county governor who has enlisted a primary healthcare facility, be it a Level 1, 2 or 3 hospital under the Social Health Authority, allows any Kenyan within that locality to walk into that dispensary, receive treatment and go home without paying a single coin....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Special Motion on the approval of the nominees to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. As much as the Selection Panel and the Committee did a very good job in interviewing and vetting these nominees, we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to, first, thank our new Chairman and all the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, together with our Chairpersons of the Departmental Committees and the entire membership of the Departmental Committees, especially the very diligent ones like...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Maybe I reminded the Member of what was said about this great man from Turkana. He is a great leader. 4th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 23 Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)You never win an election based on who is presiding...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, Hon. Chepkonga was simply prompting me to close this so that we can approve these names as soon as possible, as he says. Now I have even lost what I was saying. Allow me, however, to say that we need this Commission as...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I will endeavour to do that, Hon. Speaker. Now that I want to be considerate, it was very inconsiderate to hear somebody who has held a high national office assert that the nominee for Chairperson of the IEBC, Mr Erastus Edung Ethekon, does not warrant...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support ratification of this Agreement. As the Mover said, this Agreement was adopted in June 2023 in New York. So far, almost 123 countries have signed onto it and about 26 have ratified it. Therefore, we should not...
