Junet Sheikh Nuh Mohamed

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Junet. What is it? Hon. Speaker, I am also a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. I bring to your attention that we are dealing with Conflict of Interest. From the word go, we must deal with the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank you for your well-thought-out ruling on the matter I raised on the Floor of the House concerning dress code and other related matters. This ruling will go a long way in bringing back the dignity and decorum that we needed...

This is the Third Reading and I want also to commend the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Having said that, it is good to put the record straight now that we have passed the Appropriation Bill. We have just appropriated Ksh24 billion in the name of stabilising oil....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the line reads “stabilisation”. As I said, very well, the Stabilisation Fund is supposed to come from the Petroleum Development Fund. It is not supposed to come from the money we are appropriating here. We have appropriated Ksh24 billion in the wrong line. We have subsidised fuel...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support the Bill but let us be honest with each other. I have listened to the Mover, who did eloquently move the Bill. I have said, previously while dealing with other Bills, that we...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Junet? Hon. Temporary Speaker, before we move to the next Order, which is the Committee of Supply, I wish the Leader of Majority could listen to me. As you can see in the Supplementary Order Paper,...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I have listened keenly to the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. At this point in time when things are difficult, if you look at this Supplementary Budget holistically, money is being deducted from many votes. To increase Ksh2 billion at once to State House is...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Hon. Junet, you do not have to raise a point of order. You can just argue, if you want to do it. Hon. Temporary Chairman, the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is making...

Hon Temporary Chairman, we are dealing with a supplementary budget and not the main Budget of June/July. The Ksh8 billion is not small money. Can the Chairperson be clear on what the increment entails? He cannot just talk about Ewaso Ng’iro South and North Development Authorities. These are dead authorities...

Hon Temporary Chairman, this is a colossal sum of money. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : How colossal? It is Ksh8 billion. People are saying we are doing this for purposes of austerity. I am aware the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations did not approve this...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I bring this to the attention of the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The budget is adding Ksh834,000,000 only. Is he aware that people who are serving in the diplomatic services are suffering outside the country? When we visit there as Members of Parliament, we...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, the sum being increased is Ksh25 billion. I want to hear what the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations 16th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 45 Committee is saying because a supplementary budget is supposed to address issues of emergency in nature. The Ksh25 billion is a...

On a point of order. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Yes, Hon. Junet. One minute. Hon. Temporary Chairman, before you go to the Chairman, we have just passed here a vote head that increased Ksh8 billion to the Ministry of Defence and we are saying we are reducing...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, this House should be serious. Hon. Junet, we are serious. How can we reduce money from the transport sector? The other day, the roof at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was leaking. Where will they get money to repair it if not from us? Tuwache hizi aibu ndogo...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, you see there is a reduction of Ksh13 billion in urban development and housing. They promised to build many markets all over the country through the urban development vote. Does this mean that there is nothing that is going to happen? Was that just hot air? The...

THAT, the First Schedule be amended – On a point of order, Hon. Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Yes. What is out of order, Hon. Junet? Hon. Chair, I want to tell Hon. Members that their travelling money and everything else is gone. Do not blame the...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, the problem that Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a is raising is in all urban centres; it is in Mombasa, Nyeri, Kisumu and Nakuru. What is so special about Thika? The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : That is okay. Hon. KJ, 30 seconds, please. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want to explain... Tell this former Speaker of Uasin Gishu County... The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Hon. Junet will be heard now. Hon. Temporary Chairman, the amendment I tried to move earlier has been misinterpreted by the Leader of the Majority Party. I want...

On point of order. Hon. Junet, what is out of order? Give Hon. Junet the mic. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thought the Deputy Speaker was still on the Chair, but she has left. I wanted to say that we are seeking your indulgence and guidance on a notice of Motion...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to contribute to this debate on the Presidential Address. First, I want to bring to the attention of the House that the Constitution requires the President to once a year report to Parliament the country’s achievements in certain parameters that are stipulated in...

What did I say that is wrong?

Thank you for protecting me, Hon. Temporary Speaker. If the President and his Government are relying on advice from Hon. Baya, things will get worse going forward. I expect him, as a leader, to tell the President that he is wrong on this one. I did not hear the President...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Junet, what is out of order? Hon. Speaker, I just wanted to add my voice to the Statement that you have approved for Hon. Wanjala. The AFCON games that are coming are very important and this is the first time we...

On a point of order. What is out of order, Hon. Junet? Hon. Temporary Speaker, with your indulgence, I wanted to give notice of Motion to extend the sitting of the House until the business moved by Hon. Kaluma is concluded. That is a serious business of the House. I...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to be on record. Give him the microphone. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to inform the Leader of the Minority Party that I also came across this circular in the streets of Nairobi. I have never seen a more defective circular from the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is one of the most dangerous missions the Government of the Republic of Kenya has ever sent outside this country. Numbers do not lie. The statistics are very clear. About 2,400 people were killed in Haiti by guns, 900 women were raped and 900...

Hon. Speaker, if you have listened carefully to the Cabinet Secretary, one of the things that has come out clearly is that a lot of theory is 27th September 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 15 killing our economy. He said that the interbank rate is working. I do not think there...

Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence on a matter that is before the House. Which one? It is the recruitment of KRA revenue service assistants raised by Hon. Mugo, the Member for Mathioya. That matter is very important to the nation.

Hon. Speaker, the document that the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning presented today on the KRA recruitment is a classic example of what is called the animal farm. In the animal farm, all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. It is really shocking....

On a point of order, Hon. Chairlady.

Hon. Chairlady, both Bills are under one Order. Order No.8 (i) and (ii) . Why do we not address the Member’s fears and then we can proceed together? Let him raise the issues he needs to and have them addressed, and then we move forward. That is an orderly way...

On a point of order, Hon. Chairlady.

My point of order is that I agree with the amendments. The chairperson of the committee can sign an amendment on behalf of the committee, but that does not mean that the amendments that the committee Members wish to carry are dropped by the chairperson. He does not have that...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Hon. Junet, I am sorry because I did not see you. Go ahead. Hon. Temporary Chairman, these contributions will be from everyone now, including those who earn little money. If you put a penalty at...

According to the Leader of the Majority Party, the contribution of Ksh300 is little money. He is forgetting that his Hustler Fund gives people Ksh500 only. Hon. Chairman, reduce the penalty to 1 per cent. Kenyans are tired of these penalties. 27th September 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 71 (Loud consultations)

Hon. Temporary Chairman, Clause 30 went with lightning speed. The clause proposes that the Cabinet Secretary may make regulations. What if he refuses?

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : What is out of order, Hon. Junet? I want to contribute. Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want to agree with what Hon. TJ is saying. The way we can cure this, now that Members are saying...

For example, when there are delays in disbursements to the counties, and salaries are not paid on time, how does he want to deal with that? And the money is with the National Government.

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I listened very carefully to the Leader of the Majority Party. As you said, his contributions are not in the 27th September 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 92 amendment. We are discussing about over 1,800 people or employees who have families, children, dependants, and over 10 other people...

Hon. Speaker, I congratulate the Chairman for trying to answer the question. He has said here in the House that this matter was discussed in Naivasha in a forum called the Inter-governmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) summit, yet we are not Members of IBEC. Parliament is not represented in...

Hon. Speaker, I stand to second the Motion that has been moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. I urge Members who come from the sugar belt, majorly on this side of the aisle and others on the other side, like Hon. Kangogo, who for the first time is...

On a point of information Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Speaker, thank you for your indulgence. I want to inform the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party that, though he is not opposing the Bill, he means that technology can fail you when you need it most. Imagine a technology that fails you at the hour of need. What...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Junet? Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not doubt the competence of the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Health, Hon. (Dr) Pukose. Amendments in this House can only be brought by a Member of Parliament....

Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for according me this opportunity. It is said that when the only tool you have is a hammer, you think the only problem that exists is a nail. The problem in this country, and it has existed not only in this regime but in previous...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to confirm that Hon. Ichung’wah is sober. I know he does not drink. That bit I know. Let me first say that the proposal in the Committee Report is not final. It is a proposal. I can agree with you and disagree with the Committee....

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Junet, what is your point of order? Hon. Deputy Speaker, first, I want to weigh in on the matter of KYPA. It has existed for some time now, including in the last Parliament. In this House, practices and traditions almost become...
