CHEPKONGA, SAMUEL KIPRONO

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 87. Is it in order for Members of Parliament who have not logged in to vote when they are outside Parliament? Is that not disorderly? They should be ruled out of order. You cannot be shouting yet you have not even...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs, Hon. Tongoyo. He has said they are discussing the matter and will bring a substantive report. On a more critical matter, you counted those...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I stand to second, but some Members here are telling me to cite Standing Order 95. Surely! Can I do that while seconding? This tells you that we have a problem in this House. Members have refused to learn the Standing Orders. Standing Order 83 is very...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended by inserting the words “except freehold agricultural land” immediately after the word ‘government’. (Question of the amendment proposed) The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) :...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. We are exempting freehold agricultural land. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Thank you very much, Hon. Chepkonga. I do not see any other interest in this. (Question, that the words to be inserted be inserted, put and agreed to) (Clause 5 as...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, what Hon Oundo is saying is self-defeating. If you subject a ratepayer like me to Sections 96 and 97 of the Land Act, it means I am equal to a person who has borrowed money from a bank. I have not borrowed money but I have just...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Hon. Chepkonga, what is out of order? Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the Committee conducted public participation, pursuant to Article 118 of the Constitution of Kenya. Although my very good friend, Hon. Oundo, has a right...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I do not know why Hon. Oundo is belabouring this point. First and foremost, his proposed amendment is defective. He says the County Executive Committee Member shall. Which CECM? We have CECMs in charge of finance, lands and many other departments. Which one is this that he...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 87 on points of order. I sympathise with my very good friend, Hon. Masara. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the substantive Speaker said that this is a House of candour and banter. You know, some things are said in...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you take the Leader of the Majority Party too seriously… I am on a point of order. They cannot be calling out points of order because I am also on a point of order.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The good thing is that Hon. Sunkuli was adding to what I had just said. I can confirm, as a lawyer, that he is of sound mind. The Leader of the Majority Party is an accountant. If you think about it, maybe, Hon. Masara added...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Universities Regulations, 2023, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 14th September 2023, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 18...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Deputy Leader of the Majority Party is my good friend. Our Committee is very progressive. When we bring regulations to the House for annulment, we have exhausted all procedures, including recommending to a Cabinet Secretary that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank all the Members who have contributed and those who intended to do so because they have all supported this Motion. I want to assure the House that before we bring a regulation for annulment, we usually approve it as a Committee....

On a point of order. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I would like to agree with Hon. Milemba. He is raising a very pertinent issue to this country. First, the presidential working party’s recommendations remain as such until they are reduced into a Bill and brought to the National...

On a point of order. Thank you, Hon Speaker. As you know, I believe in order and so, I rise under Standing Order No.95. You must have heard my good friend, Hon. Keynan mixing this Bill with the next one. There is the Sugar Bill, which is very important, and...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order 91 on factual of statements. The Whip of the Minority Party purported to want to inform my very good friend, Hon. Mbui, but ended up informing the Deputy Speaker, who was on a point of order. My very good friend, Hon....

On a point of order. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 85 as read together with Standing Order 83. There is a trend in this House where everybody stands on a point of Order. Standing Order 83 is very clear. You must not...

No, she has never appeared in court or prosecuted any case. I must say that. (Laughter)

What is he?

Is he an economist? He is even worse!

Hon. Speaker, I will not repeat the questions already asked. I would like to remind the Cabinet Secretary that he needs to acquaint himself with Article 73 (a) of the Constitution. For the record, I would like to read it. It states that: “Authority assigned to a State officer is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 83, as I always like to refer to the Standing Orders. We must learn to always quote the Standing Orders. I am a former Chairperson of the JLAC and Hon. Murugara is here to confirm what the Leader of the...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 51 as read together with Standing Order 89. I moved a Motion on 25th July 2023 on consideration of the Excise Duty (Excisable Goods Management System) (Amendment) Regulations, 2023. It has since come...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your consideration. I beg to move: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Excise Duty (Amendment) Regulations, 2023, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 1st August 2023, and pursuant to Section...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to thank Members who have ably contributed to the debate on this Motion. It has been very constructive and enlightening. I would also like to thank the Members of the Committee on Delegated Legislation who have been participating very efficiently and

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Indeed, we agreed as HBC on the need to fast-track the Motions that have been pending in this House. I second. (Question proposed)

On a point of order. Hon. Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 87. Is it in order for Hon. Wanami to bring issues of circumcision on very serious matters that deal with public accounts? What is the relevance between circumcision and what he has just presented? I listened to...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join the Member of Parliament for Kesses in condoling the family for the very unfortunate loss of indeed a person I would say was a great man. Dr Misoi happens to be a neighbour of mine in his constituency. Although I live in...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 83. The matters that the Members of Parliament from Turkana are raising are extremely important and serious. They warrant the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration to appear before this House to...
