Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker Yes, Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I just wanted to add a word to the Vice-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. That he should probably consider pushing the Ministry to get...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) What is the point of Order there? That is a point of argument.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) It must be a point of Order, not just a nuisance.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Wanjiku Muhia was not present in the House. I only mentioned Members who shout in funerals and street rallies but are never here to legislate. The Member for Kipipiri was not in attendance and has no understanding of what this Bill entails. She has...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Privatisation Bill (National Assembly Bill No.36 of 2025) be now read a Third Time. I request Hon. Naomi Waqo to second. But before she does, allow me to thank Hon. Members who were here at least...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want Hon. Wanjiku Muhia to listen to me. Share dilution is 'reducing' in layman's language - from 35 per cent to 25 per cent - in the case of Safaricom. New Clause 76 is an amendment to the Public Finance Management...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy 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, 7th October 2025, to prioritise business for consideration during the week. On Tuesday,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Chairman. Hon. Temporary Speaker, sorry! I was used to the Committee of the whole House addressing the Chairman. Again, the Chairperson of this Committee is engaged in that meeting of chairpersons and, therefore, he is not available. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Fair...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Kirima to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the Whole House. (Hon. Moses Kirima spoke off...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary, I beg your indulgence to move this debate to tomorrow. We defer this debate to tomorrow.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Privatisation Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 36 of 2025) , and its approval thereof with amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The House resumed)...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I, again, beg your indulgence because the Chairperson of this particular Committee and the Chairperson of the Committee on Regional Integration... The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) We will take one Order at a time. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I know there is a meeting of the Liaison Committee involving many chairpersons. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Okay. Is your prayer in this matter that it be moved to a date in the future? Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA)...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Dr Nyikal is a very diligent Chairperson and Member of this House. He was here up to about 7.30 p.m. when he went for that meeting. That is the only reason why Dr Nyikal is not here.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, Hon. Oundo has a point. However, if you read the provision in Clause 38, it talks about a business and asset valuation. If you are holding some beneficial ownership of shares at the Nairobi Stock Exchange, it is either part of your...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am also nomadic.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, that is actually the position. If you read the old Clause 10, you realise Clause 10A is just giving some logical flow to the same qualifications. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Kasim, are you on this? Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I also request Hon. Oundo to second the Motion for agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to support this particular amendment, especially on the question of valuation, and not just the financial status or financial position of the entity seeking to be privatised. We remember the debates on the Sessional Paper on the Kenya Pipeline IPO...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support this amendment and thank the Committee because, in line with the Mwongozo Code of Governance for State corporations, very many CEOs in many state corporations have had tenures that are beyond three years against the Mwongozo Code of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) He is doing a good job. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : I assigned him to be under your pupillage. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) He is simply proposing that Clause 26 be amended as was provided for in the Order Paper and a...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I wanted to support the amendment, but allow me to oppose or rather convince Hon. Oundo to allow us to carry the Committee’s proposal of four years. The medium-term planning of our budget cycle is done every three years. These programmes are...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, maybe, I also need to allay the fears of Hon. Oundo, particularly in relation to the IPO he mentioned. He is a well-schooled person and must be aware that in this country, today, unlike in the past when one could simply walk...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is a very good amendment because it creates clarity on where the proceeds will go. Clause 49 had suggested that proceeds from the sale of a public entity be deposited into a special interest-bearing account established for that entity’s...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the House reports its consideration of the Privatisation Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.36 of 2025) , and its approval thereof with amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The House resumed) IN THE HOUSE [The Temporary...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I want to support that particular amendment. I agree with Hon. Oundo that he is literally covered by the amendment by the Committee. The language in this Bill is very good. I must commend the drafters of this Bill because it says...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, allow me to thank KENCO for that very timely Petition. I must also commend you for committing that particular Petition to the Departmental Committee on Health. The issues that they have raised are very pertinent, and they will be...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, he requested me to do this for him. I beg to move that the Kenya Roads (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 34 of 2025, be now read a Third Time. I also request Hon. (Dr) Nyikal to second.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I saw, at least, three Members led by Hon. Abdul, walking out when you were on your feet. When the Speaker is on their feet, Members should watch their movement. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Virtual Asset Service...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg your indulgence regarding Order No.10 on Committee of the whole House, on the Privatization Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 36 of 2025) . I kindly request that we step this down for today because several Members have approached me about...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I apologise for jumping the gun.

Therefore, I invite all Members who wish to file amendments to...
