MUHIA WANJIKU

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Senior Counsel has put it very well, but just for the record, the mission of the community is to widen and deepen the economic, political, social and cultural integration. But one Member in Juba indicated that it is also to tighten,...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will do that letter immediately.

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this matter. I once said in this House that we need to re-look at the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. We may need to amend the Act so that anytime the country...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Considering the weighty business in the House, especially the Supplementary Budget, the many reports queuing on the line, the interest of recess, and the fact that we need to conclude all the businesses before we close the year, I beg...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the onset, I support this Speech. As a Member who hails from Nyandarua County, I appreciate the fertiliser subsidy because Nyandarua County is one of the food baskets in our country. Many Members have spoken on different issues. It...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I was trying to catch your eye on the same Motion. I wanted to request that you fast-track the business of chairpersons who are always in the House. Their business is always scheduled towards the end of the Order Paper. For instance, this...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I have indicated, I have been waiting to move this Report since July. I will move it, although I do not have any notes because I did not expect to transact it. (Laughter) 7th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 12...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. May I beg, if you allow me, to give Hon. Karemba and Hon. (Eng.) Kiragu one minute each?

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) I am donating one minute to each Member. I am doing this so that we can accommodate the Member who comes from near the border in the discussion today.

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On a light note, we have able men in my Committee. Hon. Japheth is a Member. The Vice- Chairperson is Hon. Farah Salah. We have Hon. Zaheer and Hon. Salasya too. If the Info-Track report is anything to go by,...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you.

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) The Federation is the ultimate pillar in East Africa. But because we are not able to attain a Federation, the East Africa Community decided to start with a Confederation. That authority requires a Constitution, and we have already given our views. The Constitution making process...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have looked at this Sessional Paper, which I support. I have not seen the issue of persons with disabilities come out very conspicuously. When you look at different topics, the issue of persons with disabilities has been put under...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: 24th October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 2 Report of the Select Committee on Regional Integration on a study visit to the

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Select Committee on Regional Integration on the Study Visit to the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia, laid on the...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Examination matters are serious. What the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has alluded to is great but not practical. I will give an example of my constituency. From one sub-county to where it is said is the middle, unless the...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order regarding the order of business today, which has Motion No.22 on inspection of various one- stop border posts in the Northern Corridor of the East African Community. My point of order is that the Motion...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) If it is practical, I would prefer today. It is in the Order Paper, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I support the debate in the House today. All things remaining constant, even when there is a statutory insurance requirement, the level of confidence in insurance matters is very low. It means that this institution has to...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome all our guests seated in the Public Gallery and Speakers’ Gallery. In a special way, I welcome the university students from Kipipiri Constituency who scored 4th October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 7 Hon. Wanjiku...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker: Hon. Muhia, what is the point of order? Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I am, indeed, sad that the Cabinet Secretary is not answering the direct question of flagging off these children and welcoming...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sad because we are discussing people with special needs. When we speak in this House, and I believe Special Olympics International is watching, presenting contrary facts is a bit disheartening. The Cabinet Secretary has said that he provided money...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) There is a point of order from Hon. Wanjiku. Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, is the Hon. Member in order to refer to the discussion here as ‘hot...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Looking at the mood of the House, I will restrain myself to only two things. First, investors have shied away from getting into PPPs with the Government because there is no clarity on the roles and the costs for each...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second this Motion, happier knowing that the Speaker from the United Republic of Tanzania is the forerunner expected to take the seat. I am hoping that Members from East Africa— Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania itself,...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I am very proud today because Parliament is an institution which recognises athletes. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 43 (1) , I rise to make a Statement regarding the 2023 Special Olympics games held from 15th –...

Hon. Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion, but I want to put some information on the Floor. Such a good debate has not seen the light of day because of misconception of ideas. A similar debate or Bill was in the Senate, I...
