Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that the Fertiliser and Animal Foodstuff Act, 2015 provides for the regulation of fertiliser importation in the country; further aware that, the Fertilizer and Animal Foodstuffs Board regulates the fertiliser and animal foodstuffs industry including the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have keenly listened to the Cabinet Secretary. After schools opened, I had an opportunity to visit some extra-country schools in my constituency, namely Nyakach Girls High School, Nyabondo High School and Rai Girls High School. Nyakach Girls High School has a population of nearly...

Thank you very much. I would have opposed this Bill if it were not for the fact that it is here because of my colleague and friend, Hon. Mejjadonk Gathiru. Ideally, retirement age is not something that should be fixed in law. It should exist only in policy documents of...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was saying that we need to separate people working for the private sector and those in the public sector. In my view, those in the private sector need to retire earlier than those in the public sector. We often need people to stay longer in the...

Finally. Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me begin by saying that I oppose this Bill in totality. According to my understanding, the reason why this Bill is here was to primarily correct the issues that were raised by courts on the unconstitutionality of the Affordable Housing Levy. This Bill does not...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. This matter is very serious. I am ashamed as a Member of Parliament when Hon. Owen Baya rises on the Floor to defend the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, who has already lied and misled this House through a communication...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What I was trying to say is that there is no development that is going on across the country - the NG-CDF projects included. We have four months to the end of the financial year, but all the projects that we passed here are not happening....

On a point of order. What is your point of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise under Standing Order 35 to inform you that the House does not have quorum.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I would like to thank Mr Gerald for being courageous enough to bring this matter to the House. Many Kenyans working in the private sector, especially in banks, suffer a lot under humiliating conditions yet they are unable to raise these matters because they fear...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Bill as presented by my able Chairperson. In this Supplementary Budget, the House has allocated sufficient resources to the security agencies; the Department of Defence, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the general security of the country. My prayer is that after this...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This is a very important piece of legislation. It is a good one because the cost of public service or politics is very high. There is a perception out there that when you join politics or public service, by way...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I do not speak for Government but I am aware that the NIS has saved this country a lot of problems, especially to do with the Al Shabaab. There is a lot of work they have done behind the scenes. It has enabled this country to experience...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make my submissions on the President’s State of the Nation Address. I was not present in the House when the President was here, but like many other Kenyans, I was able to listen to the contents of his Speech....

I will ignore him because he was not in this House at that time. (Laughter) Conclude and be factual. If the President spoke about the stability of the economy when he was here, then he was really being dishonest. As we all know, this is the worst leadership that this...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I withdraw the word liar and replace it with dishonest.

As I conclude, Kenyans are watching and they expect this House to be their saviour. And so, it is important for this House to reject the President’s speech because… (Loud consultations)

I did and I withdrew. Okay. You have withdrawn. Yes. I withdrew and replaced it with dishonest. Okay, continue. As I wind up, I want to say that if Members of this House do not change their strategy of legislation and approach to national issues, then most of them will...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question relates to the response which has been given outlining the assessment report of the stadiums in Kisumu and Kakamega. Has the report been shared with the Committee that he chairs? It would be my interest to see the status of the stadia in Kisumu...

Hon. Chairman, is it true that… There is no Chairman here. (Laughter) Hon. Speaker, is it true that Kisumu and Kakamega were left out of this consideration because they are not considered as shareholders of this Government? Can you confirm that that is the right narrative? 8th November 2023 NATIONAL...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Because we are talking about gangs, with your indulgence… You also have some? There are gangs in my constituency and I think the Cabinet Secretary is aware. I even raised questions to him. However, what I wanted to report is that we have lost many people...
