Hon. Temporary Speaker, I must oppose this Motion because it is mischievous. It must be killed. The Ministry of Education has several funds for infrastructure, feeding programme, scholarships and bursaries although, these monies go to one or two regions in this country. We will not add this Ministry more money....

Mr Belio Kipsang does not listen to anyone. He imagines that he is Kenya and Kenya is him. We will not add him even a single coin. In fact, we need to think of how to get back the money he is controlling. We cannot go that direction. In this...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education on its Examination of the Reports of the Auditor- General on the Financial Statements of State Corporations (Nyanza Region) for the financial years 2018/2019, 2019/2020...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have two points to make. In the same breath, you may also order Hon. Sitienei to withdraw because she was imputing improper motive on the whole Luhya community where I come from. It is not rocket science that Luhyas have food. No Luhya begs....

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

This is Hon. Melly's Report. He is the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education. I am the Mover of the Bill, but the Departmental Committee on Education needs to table a report in this House.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to support the Chairman, but just like what other Hon. Members have said, it is indeed disheartening that a Committee of 20 people cannot have one another person present to support the Chairman on the Floor of the House. There is a problem....

Hon. Speaker, yesterday, you guided that today in the morning, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education would bring a response regarding the opening of Moi University.

Hon. Melly. Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence so that we can open that university. Thank you.

Hon. Speaker, as you are aware, Article 118 of the Constitution requires this House to facilitate public participation in its legislative and other businesses of the House. The issue of public participation is a sensitive matter which has often attracted debate and court challenges. Indeed, our recent experience in considering...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank my brother, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. At least, we are headed somewhere. My committee already ordered a forensic audit on this university through the Office of the Auditor-General. National Assembly PIC on Education...

Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (d) , I rise to issue a Statement on the mandate of the Public Investments Committee, Education and Governance regarding the current state of affairs at Moi University. Moi University was closed indefinitely on October 3rd 2024 due to a prolonged...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, definitely not. The gist of this question was that some people were recruited in Bumula Constituency, but they did not come from there. I engaged my administrative officers, including the Chief, Ms. Lucy Makokha, the Assistant Chief, Mr. Reuben, and all the village elders, and they do...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, the National Assembly has asked the Ministry to provide the names of the people who were recruited in Bumula Constituency. For crying out loud, why is the Chairman passing the buck or the ball to me? This is because he cannot produce the names. He goes ahead...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a problem. When the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations wants to hide behind you Chair... This is the National Assembly. Those people were recruited publicly, and during the day. There is no other House that is more supreme than...

Indeed, this is an important Motion but, I am not a small lion as such. This Motion affects the entire country and we need to allow everyone to have their say so that we can put Kenya back on track. I second and fully support this Motion.

Please put the question, Hon. Deputy Speaker!

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We just want to interrogate the Statement. I have a few concerns. First, as a National Assembly, we should sit back and understand what is going on. I am seated with some Members of the Departmental Committee...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, if Members of the Departmental Committee on Health are saying that the Statement their Chairman has read to this House is not representative of the views of Members of the Committee, then why are we discussing it in the first place? Is it in order? (Hon. (Dr)...

Give me five minutes, then we proceed.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank my leader and brother, Hon. Mbui, for bringing this very important Motion that affects our children, who are our future. We have a problem. I lead a rural constituency that has about 110 schools. Out of all the schools, the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Millie is one of the outstanding debaters in this House. She is a person I have admired for very many years even before I joined this House. She is a friend I have known for some time and we share common friends. I admire her debating...

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 Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations regarding the disparities in the recruitment by the Kenya Defence Forces. The Kenya Defence...

Indeed, Hon. Baya is my partner in crime. We do so many things together. That thing affects very many Members. I am seated with Hon. Kibagendi here and he confirms that a majority of the people who were recruited in his constituency were not from there. What I would want...
