Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Committee Report on the appointment of Dr. Amoth. When Dr. Amoth appeared before the Committee, he had passed through the correct process. We looked at all the processes and confirmed that they were correctly carried...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Let me start with what Hon. K’Oyoo has said, that there are IDPs from western part of Kenya where there was a Petition that was brought to this House. The Petitions Committee recommended that those people be compensated and the funds be put aside. If...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to address this issue of National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) . This is an extremely important Fund in this country. When I went through this Report, it looks like all the audit Reports that came to the House way...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have heard my colleagues complain about court decisions. I am not a lawyer but I have heard something to the effect that the courts or the judges are blind. The courts go by the letter of the law and laws are made by this House. If...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this debate. We describe this Supplementary Estimates as unique and unprecedented. It is just but a revision of the 2024/2025 Budget because the Finance Bill, 2024 did not go through. Matters have worsened by the loss of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What we are discussing is so important because it is the crux of what is happening in the country today. Cabinet Secretaries were dismissed due to public pressure. Clearly, going by what was happening, the public had actually lost confidence in the Government. When the people...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I rise to support, there is a related matter that I would like to seek clarification from you. You had indicated earlier that we are likely to go into the Committee of the whole House on the Finance Bill. That is one of the reasons...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I raise this in relation to the Finance Bill, particularly the Report. I am seeking your guidance. That is the main issue. The Report on the Bill, as you had indicated yesterday afternoon, would reach us later, and it...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a very interesting Bill. Whereas, in principle, the Bill is important to support the girl-child, there are basic issues about it. Some have been raised. When I first saw it, I noted that it is a Money Bill. In addition, this Bill will...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Let me start by congratulating Hon. Lesuuda for bringing this very important Bill at this time. The lack of a legal framework and unemployment among young people has been used to exploit qualified young people....

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We understand that we may have to move things faster because of the process we have. To that extent, I support the fast-tracking. However, we should take something as a general principle. I know we are moving very fast towards the next item, the 2024/2025...

Thank you. Whereas I agree with the Chairperson that we are doing alignment, do we have it on record that this does not make any firm change in the amounts in the affected areas? Will everything in the document remain as we had discussed yesterday? The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : What is out of order, Hon. Nyikal? I seek to be guided. From what I heard, it sounds like we are having an amendment after we had concluded. Is that in order? If it needed...

Hon. Deputy Speaker may I also appreciate the work that the Committee and the Chair has done. I also want to stress what the Leader of Majority Party said earlier that the Treasury must make sure that there is Ex-Chequer release otherwise it will be a waste of time for...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. This is a basic issue and I would implore the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to listen to me. The fact that the Committee noted the need of counties is the basic issue. The basic issue is not...
