Hon. Temporary Speaker, these seats are breaking. We need maintenance here. Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me take this opportunity to also join my colleagues in congratulating our President. I have been in this House for quite some time now. I must say that this is one of the best State...

It is good that Hon. Wanjala has raised that issue so that I get an opportunity to educate, not just him, but also many other ignorant Kenyans. Countries like Israel receive less than 150 millimetres of rainfall. To grow crops, you need at least a month of rainfall for rain-fed...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is sad for a leader of the stature of my Chairman to be live on national television and reveal his ignorance. There are people irrigating from boreholes without the need for rainfall. So, it is possible. Hon. Wanjala, please, wait for your time.

There are countries like Egypt that sit on the Nile and depend fully on the River. So there are many ways to grow food. The mind- set of Kenyans has been that you cannot have food without rainfall. That is the mind-set we are trying to change. You can see...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I request that you ask the Member to restrict himself and his debate to the State of the Nation Address. Every Kenyan should actually celebrate the Eldoret matter. I hear him lament that people travel from western Kenya to Eldoret. Kenyans go to India for...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am the Member for Kajiado Central. I welcome the school from Kajiado East on behalf of the area Member of Parliament, who is not in the House today. He is dealing with some tribal skirmishes in Isinya, which is very unfortunate.Let me take this...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome all our learners to this House. Oiti Glory is a school in a small village in Kajiado Central called Oiti. I encourage all the learners here and tell them that most of these Members have come from such places. It...

Hon. Speaker, my question is on what the Cabinet Secretary has alluded to. That every school has one teacher per class, plus one teacher. Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that there are registered schools in parts of Kajiado that do not have TSC teachers at all? Is he aware that...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Matters of education are very sensitive to Members. We will need a lot of time with the Cabinet Secretary – Maybe, a monthly session with him. Hon. Speaker, could the Cabinet Secretary –

Hon. Speaker, I want to tell the Cabinet Secretary, without fear of contradiction, that the books do not reach the schools. He has stated that from 2018 to the 2023/2024 Financial Year, they have been distributing books. But I can tell him that I have schools that have not received...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to respond. Yes. I am doing it on behalf of the Committee. I am a ranking Member. No. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a matter that has been before the Committee and we have done some public inquiries on that matter. Various agencies have come...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support this amendment Bill on the fact that it seeks to seal loopholes in 10 potential areas that can be used or have been used for money laundering. Allow me to briefly explain to the House the...

Thank you, Hon. Honourable Temporary Speaker. Just for correction, I am not the Member of Parliament for Mashuru area. The area is in Kajiado East. I stand to support the nominee, Hon. Judith Nayiai Ramaita Pareno, for appointment as Principal Secretary, State Department for Justice, Human Rights and Constitutional Affairs....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Before I delve on the matter of the Supreme Court, allow me to pass my condolences to the passing of...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I was saying, allow me, first of all, to give my condolences to the family of the late Hon. Teiyiaa, who was the immediate outgoing Woman Representative for Kajiado County. (Loud consultations) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Colleagues should have some respect...

Yes, in collaboration. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the guidance. The work of the Judiciary is the interpretation of the laws. Through the Supreme Court, the Judiciary has interpreted an area that we willingly allowed to become a grey area. The Constitution is very clear about the functions of...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am actually shocked by the fact that Kenyans would be forced to cross into Somalia, a failed State. I support the Member. Kenya Power Company should act with urgency. However, the reason I wanted to catch your eye for a minute is on the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to add my voice in support of the President's Speech. It was inspirational, motivating and gave hope to Kenyans. It also showed that the President is in touch with the people and gave a thoughtful response to the issues affecting Kenyans. Above...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me also add my voice to this important Motion on impeachment. Let me start by saying that I support the Motion to impeach the Deputy President. It should be understood that this is a Motion by which this House is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to support the Finance Bill 2024 for several reasons. First, the Finance Act, 2023, reduced the import declaration fee from 3.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent. This not only gave us Ksh10 billion but also encouraged importation, and we all...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I want us to be very reasonable and sober when legislating. (Loud consultations) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. We need to remind ourselves that these houses are built on public land as a result of contributions by all Kenyans who are working. As Members of...
