You have given me a chance despite the fact that you had said that was the last speaker. I must be grateful that you have given me an opportunity also to put in one or a few comments. The kind of money we give to governors is a lot. This...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I really do not want to weigh in much after my two colleagues, who are ranking Members and are also lawyers, have already spoken, but I do so because I represent Kibra Constituency, where we have the majority of the APBET schools in this country....

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I want to congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for putting this kind of money into sports. You know, the biggest industry in the world right now is sports. If you can remember, just recently, everybody was watching the Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) game. That...

On a point of order. Hon. Speaker, is it in order for my colleague to refer to Kibra as having "funny hospitals". This is demeaning to my constituency. Is Kibra not a constituency? (Laughter)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my humble contribution towards these Budget Estimates. From the beginning, I wish to convey my gratitude to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The budget-making process is now very detailed. We started from the Budget Policy Statement, where we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First of all, I congratulate the Committee on this Quality Health Care and Patient Safety Bill. As we speak, many Kenyans believe we do not have quality healthcare. (Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo walked along the aisle) Our big hospitals do not have enough doctors to...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish that Members would not see this as a Bill for Members of Parliament of informal sectors. Hon. Oluoch represents Mathare, Hon. TJ represents Ruaraka and I represent Kibra. My colleagues, this is one of the Bills, we will ask you to support. Alternative...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I take this opportunity as the Member for Kibra, which is in Nairobi City County, to welcome these students in this august House. Let the presence of the Members of this House give them inspirations of their future endeavours. On behalf of all the Members...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I think before the Chair comments, as much as health is a devolved function, we still have a national umbrella. We must always have a pathway in all our systems so that we never have a gap. We must always have a bridge so that...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, when we were growing up, many of our mothers gave birth to 15 or even 20 children. But this Bill says a person cannot donate embryos more than 10 times. I do not know what the Committee considered because some of the ladies I see here are...

Yes.

Hon. Speaker, I am Mwalimu Orero. Hon. Oron is this man from Kisumu Central. (Laughter) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Very right. Hon. Speaker, I will give the background information regarding this response. The Teachers Service Commission was established under Article 237 (1) of the Constitution with overall mandate of teacher...

Let him repeat.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Ferdinand is my friend. As a nationalist, I thought he would welcome all the students from all the constituencies. However, he missed the point and concentrated on Kwanza Primary School yet we also have students from other constituencies. First, I want to welcome all...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have waited until almost lunchtime to contribute to the Bill because it affects all of us. Looking at your chest, Hon. Temporary Speaker, you look like somebody who was breastfed for two years. In our culture, we believe that you can recognise a man...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a response to a request for a statement by Hon. Julius Taitumu on the promotion of teachers, a report by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) detailing the number of teachers per county, their names, the TSC numbers of teachers promoted per county, the promotional...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. One thing which is clear is that the person who asked for this response is also from the Departmental Committee on Education, and he knows how far this matter has gone. The TSC appeared before our Committee to give the details of the teachers such...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think my colleague Hon. Omboko Milemba, who is also a long-serving educationist and still the Chair of the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) in this country, knows very well that he has taken me out of context. I never said that we...

Thank you, Honourable Speaker. I rise to join my colleagues in discussing the long-standing issue of public debt in this country. I believe we need to itemise these debts when they are brought to the House for discussion. We must understand what debts we are repaying; otherwise, we could end...
