William Kamket Kassait

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, while the Chairman responds to those matters, I ask him to look at the report of a missing student from my constituency. He went missing two weeks ago from Pwani University. I have the Occurrence Book number which I can provide. We...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Temporary Speaker, while the Chairman responds to those matters, I ask him to look at the report of a missing student from my constituency. He went missing two weeks ago from Pwani University. I have the Occurrence Book number which I can provide. We...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding the operationalisation and implementation of the Equalisation Fund. Article...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you for indulging me. There is nothing out of order. Given the interest that this Statement has generated among Members, would I be in order to request that we not only deal with the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, but we also...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I kindly request to use it to also eulogise my son. Hon. Speaker Go ahead. Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) The two minutes allocated to Members to contribute may not be enough. I just have a...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in celebrating Mrs Florence Abonyo. Personally, I have had the privilege of working with her as a colleague. I want to attest to the fact that Florence, as has been described by you, is a...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I can confirm that Mr Lekulo is, indeed, a very peaceful man, just like me. (Laughter)

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I just want to joyride on that Statement, before the Chairman responds. I want to add something little. One of the most shameful…

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On the request for a Statement by the Member for Bura.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Not yet. He has not responded. I want to add something.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you Hon. Speaker. One of the most shameful acts for a Member of Parliament is to pretend to give a response on behalf of the police to this House. We have to find a way of ensuring that a Member of Parliament does not...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) No, but, Hon. Speaker, it is obvious that he does not even know what he is talking about.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I do not want to be unfair to him. I am trying to point out a problem that is real in this country.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I want to add that even the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration is a civilian. Sometimes the statements he brings to this House is stori za jaba.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) I am telling you, Hon. Speaker. That is the reality.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, we have other agencies that come to this House and even in committees. We have to find a way of having those officers directly respond to issues, either in Plenary or in Committee. That is because a Member of Parliament is given stories...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Second Report of the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee on the status of implementation of the Constitution by:

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Second Report of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 24th June 2025 on the status of implementation of the Constitution by...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I noticed in the mainstream print media that my name has been splashed in headline news as a warmonger. While I will not be intimidated by the media, allow me to say that the events ….

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was saying that I, Hon. William Kamket, the Member for Tiaty, am a Prince of Peace.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Yes, you are looking at one. I am indeed a Prince of Peace.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, the Kamket they are referring to is a different Kamket; Kamket of the media.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) I am a peace-loving Kenyan and, indeed, a Prince of Peace. I insist.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you. I am a peace-loving Kenyan.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you. While I shall not be intimidated, it is on record, and it shall remain on record, that the events of the 25th of June last year were nothing other than an attempted civilian coup led by none other than the former Deputy President,...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) There is an attempt by the print media…. 24th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 5

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Yes. Indeed, the real inciters to hatred in this country are the media, especially the print media. They are the ones who have been inciting our youths by bringing up issues that are foreign to them. They are trying to negatively portray leaders who speak...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Indeed, Hon. Speaker, if you cannot say it in three minutes, then you better not say it. I thank you for this opportunity. I also thank you for the ruling you made that the vetting of these proposed nominees continues because the attempt to block...

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Yes, that is true. That was before it was renamed mighty Tiaty.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Hon. Speaker, I am very happy. I just wanted to comment on how times have really change. My friend, Hon. Junet is now a big defender of certain things.

Hon. Kassait Kamket (Tiaty, KANU) Thank you very much. I want to join my colleague, the Member for Baringo North, in eulogising and remembering the life of Hon. Willy Kamuren. He was the first Member of Parliament for Baringo East Constituency, which was later renamed Tiaty Constituency. Those of us...
