Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Turbo Forest is partly in Uasin Gishu and partly in Kakamega. Half of the forest is in my constituency, Lugari. On 7th June 1992, the Head of State then, His Excellency President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, using the powers given to him by the defunct...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for affording me the opportunity to contribute to this noble budget-making process. Whereas I rise to support the Budget, I have a number of issues to raise. I start by raising my concerns. A whopping Ksh1.4 billion will be spent on developing dispensaries, health centres,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. When a country goes through difficulties such as the ones we are going through, my expectation is that we close ranks. There is no fuel price for the opposition. There is no fuel price for those in the Government. There is no fuel price for...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In this regard, I would like to condemn the incident involving Senator Osotsi. I would also like the Chairperson of the Committee to inform us why, in the western part of Kenya, we have noticed that at almost all funerals and all public functions, goons are...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues in congratulating the delegation from Bungoma, my neighbours, for taking the initiative to come and learn. Having served in the first County Government, I understand the challenges faced by county assemblies. I urge them to learn on improving accountability mechanisms. Many...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am retreating myself to the Russia-Ukraine mess. I would like to know from the Prime Cabinet Secretary whether he is aware that Erastus Mundia of Passport No. BK642770 of Lugari Constituency, Mautuma Ward is one of those who died in Ukraine? What is the Ministry...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution identifies and allocates functions to each level of government. As we know, money follows functions. We know counties receive money for Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) , health, agriculture and roads, to mention but...

One level of government is misleading. For sure, Hon. Speaker, what would I have done if I pick money from you with an intention of helping Hon. Atandi and I do not do it? Thank you.

Hon. Speaker, my recommendation is that the national Government should take over the whole project where it wants to assist a county government on a project it has started, but it is unable to complete. It then becomes a national Government project. This is the only way we can ensure...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Report. In the Report we have submitted as Public Accounts Committee through our Chairperson, we have made a number of observations and recommendations. I want to start by saying the design of our Constitution 2010 is made in such a way that...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to pick up from where I left. Last week, parts of Kakamega, including my constituency, and parts of Trans Nzoia reported cases of foot-and-mouth disease. The Cabinet Secretary is more promissory than practical. Under the Fourth Schedule of our Constitution, one of the functions...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the mediated version of the Bill. I agree with the Seconder of the Bill that the biggest mistake that Parliament made was to pass the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) Act. It is an animal so moribund, dysfunctional, discriminating and disappointing...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Sometimes we differ on perspectives because of the different schools of English we went to. I bear with my colleague.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Bible, in the Book of Elijah, it is very clear on knowledge. It presupposes that every day is a learning day. I was saying that there are a few people in this country holding coffee farming hostage. I laud the Committee for realigning the issue of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in congratulating our newly elected colleagues to the House, including my friend, Hon. David Athman Ndakwa. This by-election has taught us some lessons. Firstly, Kenyans are interested in issue-based politics. In Malava, I witnessed a whole platoon of people imported from all...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to add my voice to the Report by first thanking the Chairman and the Committee for a job well done. Sitting in an audit Committee of this nature where you are looking through a number of financial years to produce a report requires...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Wangwe wants to waste my time on this. Maybe, he is anticipating something else. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not want to be informed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I was saying, NSSF is now collecting huge sums of money. When a Fund is collecting such an...
