Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Although my colleague Hon. Donya has said that the sweetest coffee is from Kisii, I can assure her it is from Kirinyaga County. The cotton textile apparel industry is a huge market with the potential to contribute around 9 per cent to our GDP. It...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee for the very detailed response in regard to the deaths that happened in Kirinyaga County. I have a follow up question. I would like to know something. There were more than 1,200 crates that went...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I note the proposed amendments to Clause 41. As it was, it was bad in law. Good faith is discretionary and is subject to interpretation. Inserting that all facts must be within the confines of law, ring-fences the funds from ultra vires abuse. I second....

My apologies, Hon. Speaker. I had paid a courtesy call to the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary. My senior here, is trying to distract me. (Hon. Samwel Chepkonga distracted Hon. Njeri Maina) Hon. Chepkonga, do not distract Hon. Njeri. (Laughter) REQUEST FOR STATEMENT ILLICIT BREW IN KIRINYAGA COUNTY Hon....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report of NADCO. The rationale behind it was so that we can have a conversation on the way forward in regard to pertinent matters that concern all of us devoid of party positions and ideologies. I have skimmed through the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Affordable Housing Bill. I have heard and done personal visits to various sites where affordable houses are being constructed in Kirinyaga County. I visited Gichugu Constituency, Kianyaga Centre, where I found more than 300 young people who were jobless before the Affordable...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this timely Motion. A hungry nation is an angry nation. The Government must never vacate its duty to ensure that it has fed its population. I laud the Kenyan Government for ensuring that they have invested in agriculture. We allocated and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is very imperative for Members of Parliament to be honest to the citizens of this nation. There is no other way that any Government raises money internally besides collection of revenue. I always hear Members lobbying for projects in their constituencies such as roads,...

On a point of order.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not think we have quorum to proceed with the House business.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill by Hon. Gathoni Wamuchomba and laud the same. I note that it has a provision for care centres in the respective counties to ensure that we take care of the elderly in the community. It is unfortunate that we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. It is about time that we regulated gambling in Kenya. It is unfortunate that most of our populace is being exploited by gambling companies and media houses, which take the little that they have without investing the same back...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, let the CASs and CECMs do the work they were appointed to do. Let them leave politicking to the politicians who are the representatives of the people. Thank you. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Thank you. Hon. Lelmengit, proceed. (Loud consultations)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. October 2023. Where and what was the hurry in marking the examination and giving the results? This House must demand investigations because we cannot keep debating these matters over and over again. The Kenya National Examinations Council must be accountable to the children of this...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Our expenditure as a share of GDP has been an average of 26 to 30 per cent for the last 10 years, with revenue as a share of GDP around 16 to 20 per cent. If all these factors remain constant, the Government will never...

Hon. Speaker, I rise to second. I want to thank my very good friend and role model to many of the young politicians, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro, Member for Kiharu. Indeed, we need the country to operate and I am seeking that once this is done, the National Treasury releases the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, and noting that public officers owe a fiduciary duty to citizens and the public, and that duty must be exercised to the utmost highest attainable level, I have deep-seated reservations in passing this...
