Gabriel Koshal Tongoyo

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will deliver as you have directed. I also want to ride on what Hon. Wangare has talked about on her proposed Bill. It is a very important Bill that speaks to this issue. I am sure it will help us address...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) It is under Hon. Peter Lochakapong’s committee. There is confusion. Just as the issue of prisons falls under the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, this is under Hon. Peter Lochakapong. He can confirm the same.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was saying that as we seek for a response to this request for a Statement, we should appreciate the issuance of identification cards. You know, it is the same Hon. Member who asked about identification cards processing fee. The...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I just want a clarification. I think the request for Statement is misplaced. According to our Standing Order, this request for Statement should be referred to the Regional Integration Committee. The issue of Shirika Plan had been taken away from my Committee.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Sorry.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we will bring it within two weeks. I also want to report to the House that we are considering the number of Statements 17th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 7 Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA)already issued. We see it fit to...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) No, Hon. Speaker. He will appear before the Committee.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I have confirmed that the Cabinet Secretary will appear before the Committee on Tuesday, 22nd April 2025. We will lump all the requests for Statements together so that he can respond to all of them.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I will only take a minute. Hon. Speaker, it has been confirmed that the issue of sub-counties or administrative units is generally a big issue for almost every Member here. It is a question that keeps coming up every other time. Immediately we took...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Unless we conduct a Kamukunji like how we prioritise the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) , we will still have the same problem every time. I implore this House to look for a way, even if it means we have a Kamukunji to...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to say something about this. As earlier indicated, the sponsor of the Bill is the Leader of the Majority Party. Having considered the Members' deliberations, we need a little more time to reach more consensus on the same....

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA)Sorry. I, therefore, second.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Committee, I commend my very able Vice-Chairman for he has moved it exceedingly well on behalf of all of us. From the outset, I appreciate the entire Committee, which also includes yourself, for...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As much as I really want to appreciate what the Member for Baringo North is saying on who is behind insecurity and killings, it is not the role of the President or the Cabinet Secretary whatsoever. We just have...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your understanding. I have just said that I do not want to belabour the point. The Vice-Chairperson has said it all. We cannot exhaust the Report. One thing that stands out is that we should have...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am happy because the Member confirmed that we got an opportunity to interrogate the Inspector-General of Police. From the Statement he sought, some issues were not captured. The issue of the rogue officer was raised when the Inspector-General of...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence on this matter. You can recall that a question akin to this one has arisen in every sitting we have had. For the record, as I mentioned earlier, we have already scheduled a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I seek your indulgence, having listened keenly to the request from the Member. Just yesterday, the Head of State, who is the President, pronounced that identity cards will be issued for free. He made that directive because he...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Not really, Hon. Speaker. The issue was that they had stayed there for too long until they got a lot of familiarity. That was the request put across by then, but I agree with you. They had overstayed. That is why the policy is...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, it is good that the information is on record.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) We can do the same when we resume from recess two weeks from now.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to respond to the question by the said Hon. Member regarding insecurity in Kirinyaga County. This is a report on the status of the investigation into the killing of a minor, Ms Stacy Nyakio Kinyua, and Mr Peter...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we can do that immediately after we resume from the short recess.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Our officers are on top of things despite the challenges. We are going to make sure that they continue to serve Kenyans accordingly.
