Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I am not asking Members of Parliament; I am asking Kenyans. They can tell us which governors are constructing any roads anywhere. If anything, the roads are maintained by KeRRA and then governors duplicate the same projects so that they loot from public coffers. We...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Therefore, we should not allow this kind of behaviour to go unchecked. These are the same governors who sometime back, were asking to be given some security officers under their command. You can imagine if these governors had policemen under their command, they would trample...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, they are also criminal acts under the National Environment Management Act and criminal acts touching on economic crimes. They dumped garbage and sewer deliberately on a road. They spent public resources to dump and later clean-up, which is an abuse of public funds.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to inform the House and jog your memories a bit. You know we have come from a very long recess. Last year, we published the County Additional Allocations Bill for Financial Year 2024/2025. The Bill went to the Senate...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join Hon. Junet Mohamed, the Leader of the Minority Party, to condemn that act by the County Government of Nairobi. I ask the County Government of Nairobi and Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) to get into a negotiation...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I heard what Hon. Jack Wamboka raised. I agree, to an extent, with the response by Hon. Omboko. For Hon. Wamboka’s benefit, this is not the first time the Speaker has directed that the budget process, whether it is the BPS...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In replying, allow me to thank all the Members. You and I were away on Thursday afternoon, but I watched online as this Bill was debated. We must thank the Parliamentary Service Commission for 25th February 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 20...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, let me talk to the Chair— because I have not seen him today—to see whether we can bring it on Thursday.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, it disadvantages very many people, especially professionals like teachers, who work in those areas. I also have the same issue in my constituency. I told the Chair that in my constituency, there is one sub-location within the same location, which is a hardship...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, let me commend the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health and all the Members of the Committee for the excellent work they did following your instructions in Naivasha. Indeed, the Committee and the Ministry officials have gone to great...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Precisely. You narrated that story at another forum—the House Business Committee. It is indeed true that one of the most abused cultural practices of Kenya is the Maasai culture. You can imagine Nigerians pretending to be Maasais in London. It is, therefore, important to have...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you very much. On behalf of the Member for Kilifi North and the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Owen Baya, who has just stepped out to prepare for the funeral of Speaker Kingi’s father in Kilifi, let me...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to join you in condoling with the families of the late Hon. Cheptumo and the late Hon. Malulu Injendi. I happen to have joined this House at the same time as the two Members in the 11th Parliament. I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Cheptumo served as a Member and later as Chairman of the Committee on Delegated Legislation with a lot of diligence. For those who were with us in the 12th Parliament, considering the numerous regulations for approval in the House, we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) If we do not, he will make it a habit. Tomorrow, he will make all manner of allegations against any one of us here or the President. They have made it a sport to move around the country in funerals insulting the President. I hear...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: RECALLING THAT, the African Union (AU) , the successor of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) , was launched in 2002 as a continental body consisting of the 55 member-states that make up the countries of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 171 (1) (f) , this House approves the appointment of the following Members to the House Business Committee in addition to those specified under paragraphs (a) , (b)...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, as Hon. Members may be aware, this is a very critical Committee. The other Members of the Committee sit there by virtue of their offices. With those few remarks, I beg to move and request Hon. Adan Keynan to second.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In replying, the House Business Committee is properly and duly constituted, with or without the participation of the four Members of the Azimio Coalition, and it will sit. Hon. Speaker, as the Chairman of the House Business Committee, you will advise...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Bensuda is not used to sitting on this side of the House. We may forgive her. Decisions of the House are decisions of Parliament. That is why a Government Bill moved by the Leader of the Majority Party and enacted...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) In his nomination as Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Junet Mohammed submitted a letter nominating him, upon election by the Azimio Coalition, as Leader of the Minority Party, signed by a paltry 80 members of the Azimio Coalition. This is actually less than what...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Mine is a point of order on a matter of decorum in the House. I was scrolling my phone on what is going on and I saw Hon. Salasya, the Member for Mumias East, livestreaming the proceedings of the House and...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Status quo ante, Hon. Speaker. You know I am only an accountant. I am not a lawyer. At least, I know the doctrine of ultra vires because I studied commercial law in accounting studies. (Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah spoke off record)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I welcome Members back to the House after the long recess and join you in thanking them for showing up during the Special Sitting last month. I also take cognisance of the issues before you and the House. Let me start...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) The gentlemen who went to court went there with a total of 34 prayers. Amongst those prayers was a declaration by the court that the Azimio Coalition be declared the majority party and the leader of the Azimio Coalition in Parliament be declared the Leader...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) So that I do not waste much time, you are being called upon to determine something from the status quo ante. The court has annulled your ruling of October. Respect to that court ruling is paramount. You must respect it. In respect of that court...
