Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I welcome the students to this august House. This is where key decisions concerning this country are made. I am sure you are not only the future leaders, but also the present leaders.

The students from Kiatineni Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Welcome.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Ahsante, Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Leo nitazungumza kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Ningependa kuwakaribisha wanafunzi kutoka Kaunti ya Machakos. Hapa ni Nyumba ambayo sheria inaundwa. Mkiwa wanafunzi kwa sasa, najua huwa mnaitwa viongozi wajao. Lakini ningependa niwaeleze nyinyi ni viongozi wa sasa. Mfanye bidii katika elimu...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, in the past, the Budget Policy Statement was the most guarded secret document in the entire country, which gave relevance to professional hoarders and illegal traders. Luckily, courtesy of the current Constitution, this BPS is the precursor to the main Budget-making process....

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Not in Dadaab, yet you are retiring.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) What will be the legacy? I have served in Wajir West, and now Eldas. I am still struggling to have the first kilometre of a tarmacked road in Eldas. We must face these realities. Somebody else has tarmacked every bit of his constituency. He is...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Those criticising the President want to hamper his thinking and creative imagination to serve the people of Kenya. That is what fairness requires. I remember you were our Deputy Speaker during the time of the Grand Coalition Government. We had a visit to the late...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am on a point of order. Our education sector is going through very serious crises: man-made crises, financial crises, mismanagement crises, and perception crises. Once upon a time, my friend, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, was my Vice-Chairman in the Public Investments Committee...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. (Laughter)

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, is it in order for Hon. Baya to use the Floor of this House to demean and downgrade critical national institutions like Moi University and Egerton University, while our role as representatives of Kenyans is to boost their image and pride? If...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. By definition, supplementary is used to address unexpected and unavoidable circumstances. I see people questioning because a Government is a system. In fact, in some jurisdictions, some of these developed countries have supplementary estimates almost every month. It is not...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, that debate we are having right now reminds me of the three Cs: Christianity, Commerce, and Civilisation, which is part of the legacy of our colonial history, but that will be a debate for another day. I am sure that Hon. Okello...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to thank my good sister here, a very progressive constituency leader, for thinking out of the box and bringing this Bill. I request that she look at the definitional issues so that they are clear, predictable and consistent with the...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) What is your point of order, Hon. Keynan? Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is about the NG-CDF. The issue of NG-CDF is serious. It is a very...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, I am glad because Hon. Otiende Amollo was part of the drafters of the Constitution 2010. I believe he still has some of the notes that led to the inclusion of the Senate in it. The Senate that I had in mind, the...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. A police officer is a law enforcement officer. Pursuant to Article 243 of the Constitution, the functions of the National Police Service include:

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Unfortunately, that is where we are. Some of them are going public to say that Members of Parliament have no role in county affairs. I urge my colleagues that there comes a time when people must be ready to make hard decisions. We need to...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas. JP) So, we are all just sitting. Let us stop complaining. Let us not reduce ourselves to a House of lamentation. Can we act and bite constitutionally? Thank you.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, allow me to join this debate, which has two aspects. I am glad that, today, the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party have agreed on one thing; that this House has been reduced to a House of...
