Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is true that we have problems with transformers. Probably, the problem has a direct link with the tendering processes and those who win the tenders to bring transformers into the country. The quality of transformers needs to be checked properly. Unfortunately, there was an...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to join my brother, Hon. Atandi. Yesterday, Hon. Atandi and others….

Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to join my two brothers, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, the Leader of the Majority Party, and Hon. Atandi, the Member for Alego Usonga and the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, in condemning yesterday’s occurrences in the strongest terms possible. Hon. Atandi, a few other...

Hon. Temporary Chairperson, thank you very much. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Hon. Owen Baya, you are the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party in this House. (Hon. Owen Baya spoke off the record) No, just listen to me. You are the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, we are making progress. The Chairperson was deeply engaged when we proposed to align the subsidy with the fishing gear price. If we say, for instance, that it will be 50 per cent of the price, that needs to be captured. Otherwise, leaving it open will make...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, you mentioned the WTO. One thing we must recognise is that Kenya also belongs to the family of nations. Even though we have part of the Indian Ocean within our jurisdiction, which is partly the bone of contention here in terms of fishing gear, you cannot fish...

I thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. In the same breath, allow me to support this Bill as advanced by my brother, Hon. Anthony Oluoch. This Bill is timely to the effect that we have very many people languishing either in jails or subjected to very punitive measures by...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. In the same spirit, I also wish to encourage our young children to remain focused. Discipline is everything. Students of the same age are currently facing murder charges because they set fire to their dormitory at Utumishi Girls Academy. If found guilty and culpable, those...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity. I would want to correct the notion that only those who oppose the Government speak for the people. Hon. Temporary Speaker, when a government is formed, be it those who voted for that Government or those who opposed it at the...

Hon. Speaker, I thank you in a very special way, not just for giving me an opportunity to speak, but also to commend you for the intent you have expressed to bring the Social Health Authority (SHA) and teachers together over the matter on boarding teachers to SHA. It is...

I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a very serious and grave allegation that has been presented before this House and yet, it appears to lack cogent evidence. You are a lawyer of great repute, Hon. Deputy Speaker, and you understand that issues concerning the conduct of a Member...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, allow me also to sincerely thank you for walking the journey of rationalising hardship areas. The Prime Cabinet Secretary was with us two weeks ago. He alluded to the fact that somebody went to court to petition the report of the...

Most obliged, Hon. Speaker. I will do that tomorrow. I will do so, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the amendment. I just returned from a coffee conference in San Diego, USA. Although we are an agricultural country, we have yet to even scratch the surface in terms of the market share in America. Americans drink coffee, not tea, as is common...

I thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity. On the same breath, allow me to also support the Fisheries Management and Development, (National Assembly Bill No.29 of 2025) . Everything in Nyanza was designed to fail. That is why sugar-cane, for example, has always been...

On a point of order. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have given clear direction regarding the time allocated for debate. I request your indulgence to further limit contributions to two minutes per Member so that as many Members as possible may be accommodated. Yes.

Correct. That is the guidance I was seeking from you.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the opportunity. It is important to underscore that outside the Budget and Appropriations Committee with a membership of 25, this is the second well-represented Committee that we have in the House, with 21 Members. This feeds into the complexities involved and the...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to restrict myself to the classification of areas classified as hardship. This is the second time that our good Prime Cabinet Secretary has come before us to shed light on this most disturbing matter. I want to thank you, Hon. Speaker. You...
