Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock regarding the escalating security and socio-economic crisis within the Kisumu Sugar Belt. On 18th June 2026, Chemelil Sugar...

We will be on recess in two weeks. I have just consulted. The Chairperson has said he will bring the response within two weeks. We will be on recess in two weeks. He has not said after two weeks. He has said within two weeks. So, the report may be...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Mine also is to concur a bit with what my colleague Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo has said because when we are talking about the nautical miles with this narrow gulf that we have, it might not be possible. But secondly, when we are talking about...

Actually, I am in agreement with what Hon. Millie said on artisanal fisheries. I do not know whether artisanal fisher folk or whatever they are calling it includes women, youth and people abled differently. We can be very clear that they are included because I represent those people. I would...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman.

On a point of information.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman, for considering minorities like us. It seems there is a lot of argument coming from the majority in Parliament. I thank you for the BMUs, which are among the biggest issues we have. They run the beaches. They are, in effect, the prefects of the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I really appreciate the young man, Sawe. He comes from a village in Uasin Gishu and his father is a struggling maize farmer. He was actually brought up by his grandmother. This is very good example for us from where we come from. It is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have been waiting for an opportunity to speak for quite some time now. First, I must state that I am not a lawyer and do not know much about the law. However, what puzzles me is how lawyers respect court rulings only when they favour...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I support this Bill by Hon. Irene Mayaka. First of all, the eucalyptus tree has a high transpiration rate, which means its taproots extend deep into the ground. When it is planted along the rivers, its roots reach far down,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Today, I rise not just as a Member of this esteemed House but as a daughter, sister, and proud descendant of those who fought tirelessly for the freedom we dearly hold. Let us reflect on the values upon which our great...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am very honoured. Hon. Bensuda, I am sure you know that in order of seniority, I have been allowed by the Temporary Speaker to speak before you. I start off by stating that I am very radical. I believe that the sugar sector should...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to reject the Finance Bill 2024. Mine is very simple; the Bill is driven by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) . One of the tenets of the IMF is to see countries stop subsidies and promote privatisation. But, the worst of them all is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I greatly thank you for recognising that this Bill affects women the most, and you have now decided to allow a woman to speak on this Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill. I am very grateful to Hon. Millie Odhiambo for introducing this Bill. First, I would...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to oppose the Finance Bill. I will start by saying that there is no Kenyan who does not want to pay taxes. We are not here to say we oppose this Bill because we do not want to pay taxes. Every Kenyan...
