Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also thank the sponsor of the Bill, the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, for bringing it. As many other Members have said, this is a very important Bill, and I have many reasons for saying so. If you look at progressive...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2026/2027. At the outset, this is a fairly decent Budget. I have many reasons for saying so. I will also state some of the flaws in the Budget. I will...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was actually following the discussion with a lot of happiness and anticipation, and particularly listening to the lawyers and what the other debaters have stated. At the outset, I support this particular Bill because it puts Kenya on the map of the world and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, allow me to extend my condolences to the bereaved families of Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil. It is sad to lose many young people who are so optimistic about life. Today, we are mourning them. I support the Motion for the nomination...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will not take much time. Leader of the Majority Party, I am aware that we need to pass this important Bill. From the outset, I support this amendment Bill which seeks to repeal certain Sections of the parent Act. The Bill seeks to boost...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to support the establishment of the Kenya-AIST.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report. The Commodities Fund is essential. It is meant to support farmers. We are talking about tea, coffee and cotton farmers, among many others, along the agricultural value chain. If you look at the Commodities Fund and the role it...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the onset, allow me to support the amendment of the Railway Development Levy Fund. Look at Ethiopia, India, China, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. All these countries have a railway development fund. There are benefits to this, and the key ones that I...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Temporary Speaker, notwithstanding the Resolution of the House regarding limitation of debate, made on 11th February 2026, and pursuant to Standing Order 97, I beg to move that the debate on this Motion be limited to five minutes for each Member...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I rise to support the Bill. There are specific reasons I support this particular Bill. Countries like South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Brazil, Indonesia, and many other progressive nations have infrastructure funds. If you go to rural areas today, they ask for energy,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to join Hon. Members who support the Report on Medium-term Debt Management Strategy from the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee. At the outset, borrowing is not the problem. If you look at Japan's debt-to-Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio, it ranges from 230 per...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Ndindi is my good friend, but I wanted to tell him that the point we are driving is the prudent use of the money we borrow. If you talk about Japan, the money they borrow is...

Not export alone. We need to be honest with ourselves so that we do not just criticise everything, but offer positive criticism.
