Hon. Samwel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I request that you skip me, but I will come back again. I was talking to my neighbour, and he convoluted my mind.

Hon. Samwel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I take this opportunity to congratulate my very good friend, Hon. Mulyungi, the Chairman of the Decentralised Funds Accounts Committee. This Committee has done a very commendable job. This Report was tabled in December 2021....

Hon. Samwel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I was saying, the NG-CDF is not an equalization fund where people say we have so many schools.

Hon. Samuel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to make this statement. I thought Hon.

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainamoi, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Samuel Chepkong’a (Ainamoi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Generally, I follow rules and guidelines. I do not shout myself. I rise under Standing Order 83. I am very concerned. The reason why people are shouting here is that they stand on a purported Standing Order.

Hon. Samwel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a House of rules. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 91. This is a House of rules. It is not proper when the Leader of the Minority Party, who is supposed to observe decorum and rules of procedure in this...

Hon. Samwel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. John Mbadi has spoken very well. He has, in fact, admitted that he has commented on the Standing Orders as a layman and not a lawyer. The only exception is that he is a lawmaker. He cannot say that the...

Hon. Samwel Chepkong’a (Ainabkoi, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am the Co- Chairperson; it is just that it is not indicated on the Order Paper. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, in furtherance to the Resolution of the House of 24th November 2022 on...
