Thank you. I just want to give a little bit of follow-up on what the Vice-Chairman, Hon. Raso has handled. Yesterday, the Speaker directed that despite the tabling of the twelve other Statements, we give a brief to the House with regards to the mass grave in Kericho. I need...

I am doing so because of the public interest. I am doing so, and I am well guided. Sorry, I need to retrack. On 22nd March, a team led by the DCI Homicide Directorate visited the scene, The preliminary investigations established that Makaburini Cemetery in Kericho is owned by the...

Yes, I am, Hon. Speaker. BURIAL OF UNIDENTIFIED BODIES AT KERICHO COUNTY CEMETERY

Hon. Speaker, as a follow-up to what my Vice-Chairman has informed the House. True to what we promised the House, the Cabinet Secretary plus the security team appeared before the Committee today at County Hall. He responded to about 16 Statement Requests, including the one for Hon. Kemei. I have...

Yes, I am Hon. Speaker. Thank you. I wish to give a response regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of a minor at Gilgil Hills Academy, requested by Hon. Martha Wangari. I respond as follows: On 27th March 2026, a report was launched at Gilgil Police Station by the principal...

Hon. Speaker, I may not have a specific date; that was largely intended to be handled by the Departmental Committee on Health. You also included the Departmental Committee on Health. I remember yesterday in the afternoon you mentioned that Hon. Pauline

It seems he is not a member. However, the report indicated that the toxicological report was not yet concluded.

It is okay, Hon. Speaker. I meant to say that we can still push... I beg to differ. The post-mortem is actually conclusive, and I want to read it again for record. A post-mortem report examination conducted on the same day by the Government Pathologist, one Dr Titus Ngulungu, established...

Let me put effort into getting the toxicology and the DNA report from the Government Chemist. True. Yes, drowning. I will. However, Hon. Martha confirmed to me that the child was known to have a CNS condition. She seems to... Anyway, I will bring the...

Hon. Speaker, I had assigned my Vice-Chairman to read the Statement.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate that Hon. Raso comes from the same county and might be privy to the same information. Having said that, we have summoned the Cabinet Secretary to appear before the Committee on 21st April 2026 concerning the issue of goons in the country and largely...

Much obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Yes, I have but my mandate does not extend there. However, that is one of the considerations we will put across. From what I hear, my colleagues are pointing fingers at one of us in this House. Perhaps you will guide us on this. They are ready to disclose that.

Hon. Speaker, I also need your indulgence on this one. Could we combine this request with the others, since the Cabinet Secretary will be addressing the insecurity issues in the country? Samburu is a perfect case of what has been… Yes. He will still submit the same to the House.

Yes, Tuesday 10th at 10.00 a.m.

Hon. Speaker, the interest on this matter is massive. I do not want to pre-empt what the Cabinet Secretary will say, but I would like to give the country hope. We all know what was happening in Kerio Valley, North Rift and Tiaty. The Members from Baringo County are here...

It is true we have... Yes, but regarding what was to come from my end, it is still among the few 15 statements that are pending. Let me see. Today is Wednesday. The problem is that it is not signed. I think there is a report, but the problem is...

Kindly, Hon. Speaker, maybe, I need to be reminded which Question it was specifically.

I know his interest because he is in the transport industry. That notwithstanding, unfortunately, it is among the pending ones. Let me also try to get the response next week. Yes.

Hon. Speaker, unfortunately we are not. We have been in constant communication, including with the Member. I have just called a person from the Office of the President, and they indicated that a statement is underway. I request that you give us until Thursday, hopefully. Yes.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support what I consider a balanced, responsive and people-centred Supplementary Budget as presented by my very good friend and the able Chair. Before I proceed, I wish to challenge the aspersion cast by Hon. Oundo, the Member for Funyula,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, you are an astute lawyer and a very senior Member of this House. I will not add anything. For the record, Hon. Buyu Rozaah, who is also a Member of the Committee, can confirm that the State House Comptroller pleaded for additional resources during their Budget Estimates...

We can do it on Wednesday once we resume from recess. The first Wednesday, Hon. Speaker.

Maybe the first Thursday on return from recess.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I stand to support this Motion, moved by the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) . I take this opportunity to commend the good job the Committee has done, led by my able Chairman and...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to join the House in paying my condolences to the families and friends of the six Kenyans who lost their lives in the tragic helicopter crash. Of the six, five were known to me, including Carlos Mwalimu, a personal friend. Much has been...

Nothing much, Hon. Speaker. I know you know you had directed the Leader of the Majority to look into the issue of the commissioners of the NCIC. I want to inform you that the current commissioners’ term has lapsed. The new commissioners are due for vetting and will be brought...
