Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. A nation’s strength ultimately consists of what it can do on its own and not what it can borrow from others. Around 13 years ago, our debt was less than Ksh1 trillion. Right now, we are talking about close to Ksh11.25 trillion. We need to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also take this opportunity to give my thoughts on the NADCO Report. I read it keenly and it has many proposals which we need to think about. The Committee was formed soon after some chaos were caused by one principal who said that his...

Hon. Speaker, I just want to thank Hon. Njeri, the Member for Kirinyaga County for this important Statement. If the National Assembly cannot act now when 23 lives have been lost, I do not think there is any other important time to act on this issue. I agree with the...

It is Manyatta, Hon. Speaker. The Clerk-at-the-Table has misspelt the name of the constituency. NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT ON A MATTER OF URGENT NATIONAL IMPORTANCE REPORTED IRREGULARITIES IN 2023 KCPE EXAMINATION RESULTS Hon. Speaker, I request the House for an adjournment under Standing Order 33 to discuss the 2023 Kenya Certificate...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. (The Temporary Speaker consulted with the Clerk-at-the-Table)

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like your guidance because this Motion was supposed to start at 7.30 p.m., but due to the matters that were before us, it is now 8.05 p.m. I would like your guidance on this.

I did.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I stand guided. Pursuant to Standing Order 33, I rise to seek leave for adjournment of the House in order to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance, regarding reported irregularities in the 2023 KCPE examination results. The results were released on Thursday, 23rd November 2023...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also take this opportunity to congratulate you. We are very happy that East Africa will experience your leadership as the Chair. We, as Members, are encouraged to participate in sports. Many of the Members who came in last year have developed tummies as they continue...

Hon. Speaker, as we agree on how Members are supposed to dress, I note that we lack a national attire that is supposed to define our country. I believe that dressing is something that is supposed to define Members. However, it should not alienate us from our society or community....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Asante sana for that. I have student leaders from all universities in Embu County, specifically Manyatta Constituency. I welcome them to the National Assembly, which is the House where we have leaders who make laws that impact their lives and the rest of the country. I...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to congratulate my brother, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for speaking fluent Kiswahili. It was a trial. (Laughter) 7th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 27 I support the point that has been put across by...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On behalf of all Members, I wish to welcome our visitors to this House, especially Chama Cha Kiswahili Chuo Kikuu Cha Embu (CHAKIE) Club. I know many Members are not aware of the University of Embu. Interestingly, it has been ranked twice in a row...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the recommendations of the Committee. I visited the USA through this House a while back. I had a Zoom meeting with 300 Kenyans in the USA. Those members have been swindled more than once by those companies that promise high yields in investments such...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I feel like the Cabinet Secretary is not taking this issue of pending bills seriously as he should. I expected with the Question of Hon. Kagombe, the Cabinet Secretary will give us a clear strategy on how to deal with the issue of pending bills. However,...
