Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) This is a very exciting gentleman. He has been missing for a while. Hon. Temporary Speaker, on the issue of Joshua Kubiti, preliminary investigations established that the death resulted from a fight between groups of young boys aged between 12 and 19 years, most of...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much. STATUS OF OPERATIONALISATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS IN BUSIA COUNTY The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) Let us agree that since Hon. Catherine is in the House and she has read the response, you can try to summarise. Hon. Ali Raso...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe that in this Chamber, each Hon. Member is awaiting a location, sub-location, or sub-county that has been gazetted for operationalisation. The bottom line is that the Ministry does not have enough funds. To be fair to everyone, once...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Member for Kandara, Hon. Chege Njuguna, requested to be apprised of the disappearance of Mr Joseph Ng’ang’a Muhia.

Secondly, the Member requested information on the steps the National Police Service (NPS) is taking to complete investigations and ensure that Mr Joseph Ng’ang’a Muhia is found and reunited with his family. Thirdly, the Member wanted to know what action...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Every life in this country is important, and I understand why my colleague is speaking with passion. Secondly, they say justice delayed is justice denied. Today, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) handed over this Report to us....

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) We will give the Ministry two weeks to provide us with an adequate response.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Listening to the Member for Aldai, I used to think insecurity is prevalent in our area, where we actually fight day and night, cattle are stolen and people are killed. In this particular case, I am worried that there are...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. According to what Hon. Millie is proposing, this is a House of traditions. If you wish to move an amendment on the Floor of the House, you should have a discussion with the Chairperson of the Committee so...

Hon. Ali Raso (Sako, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We will respond immediately after the recess.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Having listened to how the Cabinet Secretary answered these questions, I am surprised. Hon. Deputy Speaker Do not make a Statement; ask a question. Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) The KUCCPS falls under the Ministry of Education, but KMTCs falls...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Deputy Speaker What is your point of order, Hon. Raso? Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, KUCCPS falls under the Ministry of Education while KMTC falls under the Ministry of Health. If the Ministry...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I believe when you sit on that Chair, you do not have a vote. You must be a fair arbiter. What we are raising with the Cabinet Secretary are matters that are out there. We live in Nairobi, and children leave their...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) We are the representatives of the people, and that is why we must have our say. You should hear us. Even if the Cabinet Secretary has no answers, he has said that he will investigate or provide us with answers.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, that is precisely what we are seeking from you and the Cabinet Secretary, and he has made a good point.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much. I thank the CS for his response. I think he confirms a teething problem in funding extracurricular activities. My question to him is why we do not allow schools or regions to fund up to the regional level. Then, the Ministry...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA)Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have listened to the Cabinet Secretary on funding gaps of Ksh2 billion in primary schools and over Ksh20 billion in secondary schools.

Thank you very much. Considering that this is a very important Bill, this amendment confirms that virtual business must be within controlled space. It should be regulated through an authority and the Cabinet Secretary. It does not matter where individuals are in the world. Someone must be watching over them...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this amendment on a limb. A regulation operationalizes a law, whether existing or being crafted. In this case, we can only give ground as lawmakers in this land to first put this law before our people. We can then have this...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Committee for this report. Posting of ambassadors and high commissioners is a very important work for the country.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Speaker, the Member said on the Floor of the House that the police do not have teeth to bite. I think the police are neutral agents in enforcing the law. None of us, even the Speaker or the President is above the law. If...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are well guided.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, we do not have a response to that Question. In hindsight, we expected the issue to be discussed yesterday when the Cabinet Secretary was on the Floor. Nevertheless, we will still ask the Ministry to give us a response.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) On a point of order. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Hon. Raso, what is out of order? Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I came this morning at 9.30 a.m. Therefore, my honourable colleague from Murang’a should hold her horses. I rise to support this Motion. I support it as a humanitarian and an international citizen. What is happening in Gaza...

Hon. Dido Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We do not have a response, but in any case, the Cabinet Secretary will be appearing before us this afternoon. Maybe, the Hon. Colleague will be in his place to put the same to the Cabinet Secretary.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. At the outset and as Hon. Millie Odhiambo has explained very heavily, devolution is about devolving resources and services to the people. Today, the only devolved resources in this country that Kenyans...
