Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock regarding the closure of Bumula Weighbridge in Nandingwa area by the Kenya Sugar Board. The abrupt closure of the...

In the same breath, Hon. Speaker. No, it is a different issue. It is about the restoration of the glory of this House. The National Treasury is micromanaging the National Assembly. If a Member wants to travel out of this country, the National Treasury is expected to deal with the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is indeed difficult to mourn a friend and father of the nation. When my friend, Mr. Wafula Buke, called me yesterday morning on the passing on of Hon. Raila Odinga, I did not believe it. It looked like a normal joke or April Fools’ Day....

Hon. Speaker, add me one minute. Hon. Speaker, it is very difficult to mourn Hon. Raila Odinga. He has left very many orphans, and I am one of them. I feel it in my heart. He is gone, but we will not let him down. Fare thee well. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate your Ruling on this matter. I just want to bring to the attention of this House that the same Principal Secretary that my able Leader of the Minority Party is talking about, amended the budget of this House. He re-appropriated the budget of this...

Hon. Speaker, I was shocked yesterday by the sentiments of His Excellency the President. (Loud consultations)

You will add me some 30 seconds, Hon. Speaker. The Constitution is clear in Chapters 8, 9, and 10 on the roles of Parliament, the Judiciary, and the Executive. This House regulates itself through the Committee on Powers and Privileges, chaired by none other than the Speaker. This House has...

Hon. Speaker, there are thin lines in what we are discussing. I think the point is made. We think that someone is trying to get to the NG-CDF, the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) , and other funds devolved through this House. It is unacceptable for Hon. Members of the...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Is the Cabinet Secretary in order to say that police officers do not arrest politicians, while he is on record crying that he was being harassed by the regime in the last Parliament? He even said that his people were being harassed and...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I would like to congratulate the Cabinet Secretary. He is one of the hardworking cabinet secretaries. Asante, but please heed the advice from the Leader of the Majority Party not to spoil your soup. Mine is about the 22 per cent and 10 per cent...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to give you a heads-up. A while ago, we talked about the young boys and girls who man our security in Parliament. You gave your undertaking, which we do not doubt, that all of them would be absorbed into Parliament in terms of employment....

I apologise, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am sincerely sorry. That will not happen again. (Laughter)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank Hon. Faith for this important Motion. I encourage her to put this into a Bill because it is very important. I am from a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport. For the first time, I...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, ignore him. Everyone knows it is a fact.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Mau roads in Central Kenya are consuming 49.651 per cent of this year’s Budget. You must stop being selfish. (Applause) but because of politics and economic pressure, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) being constructed through Mau Summit has to turn and to Kericho and Kisumu. I...
