Junet Sheikh Nuh Mohamed

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I listened very keenly to the Statement by the Leader of the Majority Party and it is not carrying detailed 3rd August 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 17 information about this issue. Even though he has said that it is just a preliminary Statement, I think the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to say something. I stand under Standing Order No.95. Will I be in order to ask the Mover to be called upon to reply? The Question should be put to the House to decide. (Laughter)

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon Junet? Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a House of procedure. As you have said very well, a document tabled by a Member must have a letterhead and be authenticated. Allow me to ask you a question...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am on a point of order. The Member from Kipkelion West is not a new Member. I would not keep quiet the way I would if new Members learning the ropes would have spoken that way. This is a Member who is serving his second term....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute. Firstly, I want to bring something to the attention of the House. We are discussing the National Police Service of the Republic of Kenya that is funded by taxpayers’ money. Their allowances and salaries are paid by...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me proceed.

I want to be informed by Hon. Millie who has some information, with your indulgence, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, a lot of my time has been consumed. Let us agree on one thing as a nation: if we do not want Article 37 of the Constitution, let us do a constitutional amendment and repeal it. But so long as that Article is in the Constitution, people...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Junet? (Loud consultations) Hon. Temporary Speaker, my point of order is, with tremendous respect to the Leader of the Majority Party, he is alluding there were people ferried to Kitengela. My question is what kind of...

Hon. Temporary Speaker… Order, Members. Order, Hon. Can I say something? If I was to listen to what the Leader of the Majority Party is saying, there are people who have been ferried to Kitengela to maim people. The question I want to ask in this House today is: who...

On a point of order. What is out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to seek your indulgence on whether we should treat the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs as a suspect or a Member who is contributing. He is the Chairperson of a...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Junet. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am standing under Standing Order 95 and would like to request that the Mover be called upon to reply.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Next to speak on this…What is your point of order! Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 95. Will I be in order to ask that the Mover be called upon to reply? This matter has been debated since yesterday. We...

Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation the following Question: What informed or misinformed the decision to change the work from North Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency to Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency, which is a new entity? Is it from...

Hon. Speaker, I want to ask a supplementary question in the form that: Many irrigation schemes have been started in different parts of the country, and even where I come from there is Lower Kuja Irrigation Scheme. Hon. Speaker, since all those irrigation schemes were started all over the country...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Order, Cabinet Secretary, there is a point of order. Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary has said that my question is unfortunate. My question is very simple. I asked the Cabinet Secretary, now that the previous irrigation schemes did not work, what will she...

Hon. Speaker, in relation to Rongo where I am the neighbour, I want to inform the Cabinet Secretary that Rongo Constituency and the whole of Migori County does not have any sewer line since Independence. In the last census, there is a county that has a population of over one...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker Yes, Hon. Junet. Give him the microphone. Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence on a matter. When Cabinet Secretaries come here, most of their answers to Questions are, “you can visit us in the office.” We do not want to visit their offices....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank the Cabinet Secretary for the answer he has provided to this Question. We are aware that people in the previous regime wanted to steal this land from EMCO and the matter came to this House. What the Cabinet Secretary has read out are the true...

On a point of order. What is your point of order, Hon. Junet? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not know whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware that there is a letter written by one R.J. Simiyu, subdividing the same land to people, dated 16th May 2023. He has just said...

Yes.

Hon Temporary Speaker, I wish to table this letter. It is written to Mrs Jackline Wambui Kinyanjui of P.O. Box 64 Nairobi, Plot No. Nairobi/Block 37/, titled Subdivision Scheme Approval, dated 16th May 2023. It is signed by

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand to support Hon. Bady Twalib. John is his real name. Firstly, I want to bring to the attention of the House that petitions are very important. They are not like Ordinary Questions. I want the Committee that is in charge of petitions in the House...

We mention them? No, let us spare the Committee to do that work. Let those businessmen be told to vacate the road. The road is going to be used by all Kenyans. Mombasa is a small island and people in that town will suffer if there will be no proper...

On point of order. What is your point of order, Hon. Junet? Hon. Deputy Speaker, I cannot disagree with my leader here, but we are discussing the office of KeNHA and whether they are doing a shoddy job. It looks like some angels have come through the Leader of the...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Junet Mohamed. Hon. Speaker, I am not disagreeing with the request by the Leader of the Majority Party, but I wanted clarity on whether it is procedural to step down an Order just like that. There is a way to do...

On a point of order.

On a point of order. What is your point of order, Hon. Junet? I have given you the microphone. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Chairman has moved a Motion for regulation of peace which was seconded and you proposed the Question. This is the time for Members to contribute and dispense...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to oppose these Regulations. We are becoming a country that is going to be run through special funds. For every small thing we want to do in this country, we want to create a fund for it. It is very dangerous to govern...

I stand to support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Devolution is what is going to change this country. When the new Constitution brought in devolution, changes have been seen in the villages and in small towns in the counties. There are only two funds that go...

Hon. Speaker, this is a very important Bill as you said. It is a very important Bill that many Kenyans have been waiting for. Now that we are seized of the Bill, I want to urge the House to look at this Bill critically. As you have just alluded to,...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Junet. Order, Ndindi. What is your point of order, Junet? Hon. Speaker, I wanted to bring to the attention of the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee that appropriating funds is one thing, but having real money is another thing. He...

Hon. Speaker, I stand to second. (Laughter) 20th June 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 49 As you directed, we discussed this in the House Business Committee. There is a lot of business before us, but Kenyans must know that Members of Parliament are working. There are no people who sit till...

Hon. Speaker, the cardinal responsibility of this House in Article 95 of the Constitution is to legislate. We must stop anything that impedes that in this House. The Members here have amendments to the Finance Bill. However, they have been told that under Article 114 of the Constitution, they must...

Hon. Chepkonga is my friend but for his five years absence from Parliament, something needs to be done. Let me leave it there. (Laughter)

On a point of order. Hon. Junet, what is it? Hon. Speaker, in accordance with your ruling that has changed the dynamics of our engagements, I am requesting that we adjourn for 10 minutes so that we apprise our Members on those clauses that you have given then we resume...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. What we have agreed on is that there are clauses we were going to vote on electronically. There are major clauses like on the Value Added Tax (VAT) and Housing Levy that we have to vote on physically. The other issues shall be by electronic voting....

Hon. Chairlady, I wanted to speak on Clause 9 which you have already passed. However, so that we avoid voting, if somebody is tired they can go home and sleep. We want to deal with this matter properly and perpendicularly.

On a point of order, Hon. Chairlady.

Hon. Chairlady, these taxation measures will be very punitive. The tax is being increased from Ksh1500 to Ksh3000 at once, and from Ksh60 to Ksh100 per passenger per matatu. Both sides of the House should agree that this amendment is not good. It will kill many small businesses, especially in...

Hon. Chairlady, when we are legislating here, we are doing that for all Kenyans whether you are rich, poor, middle level or whatever. You can only be sure of how much tax you need to pay after an assessment on your books. What Hon. Mbadi is saying is true. This...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Junet. Hon. Speaker, in line with the Statement that has been tabled by the Leader of the Majority Party, there is clarity in the House that the 15th June 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 3 Finance Bill is coming up for the...

There is clarity now. The course of the week is a course that you have to… With your indulgence, Hon. Speaker, the mood of the House is that on Tuesday we have the Finance Bill. Can we agree tentatively here and ask the House to… (Loud consultations and laughter)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to oppose the Finance Bill. This is the 11th Finance Bill that I am participating in and it is one of the most controversial Bills that I have ever seen. Those who have been with me here have seen 11 Finance Bills before and...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Order, Hon. Kimani. Hon. Junet, what is your point of order? I want to seek your indulgence, Hon. Speaker. When you are listening to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning responding, you need to see him physically. We...
