THUKU ZACHARY KWENYA

Thank you. We may be bashing the Cabinet Secretary with the matter that we are dealing with here.

As long as the managers of learning institutions are teachers who are members of the TSC, this problem is not going to be solved. The Cabinet Secretary could issue these directives, but even if they are not obeyed, he has no power to either transfer or fire those people who...

I thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to eulogise my friend, Hon. David Kiaraho. At the outset, I send my message of condolence to the family, people of Ol Kalou Constituency and Nyandarua County at large, following the demise of our beloved Hon. David. It is painful...

Thank you Hon, Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to this Bill sponsored by the Hon. Member for Embakasi Central Constituency. In a special way, I recognise his efforts. However, I disagree and oppose the Bill. The reason I take this position at the outset...

It is not just about monetary issues, Hon. Temporary Speaker. They have capacity that… 11th March 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 27

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have heard. In fact, in terms of capacity, I am not talking about infrastructure so that they can act as if they are just rent-seeking. I am talking of infrastructure in the sense that it may be underutilised because basically university education is more on research....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the Motion on the Report of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations on the approval of Mr Kosiom Frank ole Kibelekenya as the Ambassador to Copenhagen, Kingdom of Denmark. The Mover has already outlined the legal and procedural...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those kinds of accolades coming from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, I should do justice by seconding this very important Motion on the divestiture of 15 per cent of Safaricom shares. I rise to second the Motion for the adoption...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to add my voice to the Budget Policy Statement. From the onset, without just stating my position, whether I support or otherwise, I have had my issues with the way we pass resolutions in this House and many other things that we...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to give my comments on the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy for the Financial Years 2026/2027 to 2028/2029 as presented by the National Treasury and our Report therein. I am a Member of the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee. From the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for ruling my brother out of order. I do not have to respond to him. Fairly speaking, it is the mandate of the CBK to make sure that banks do not act at will, charging interest rates as they wish. There is a minimum rate...

Thank you, Speaker. Indeed, I want to inform you that I had a meeting with my students who are visiting the precincts of Parliament, and I ably briefed them as to what they are supposed to do in the Chambers. I can assure you that you are not going to...

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I am sorry, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the nomination and appointment of...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have sought your forgiveness. I apologise on the same. That was just an oversight. I rise to support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the nomination of Mr Rono to oversee this institution, which is a creation of the Proceeds...

Yes, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I am just curious as to why someone would be deemed unsuitable to serve as chairperson of a Government-Owned Entity simply because one has previously served as an employee of that organisation. Even looking at our Constitution, this would be discriminatory. This is something that we...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the audited financial reports that have been presented to this House by the Public Investments Committee on the said institutions. I support the Report. Having previously served in that Committee, I am aware of the effort that its...

THAT, clause 4 of the Bill be amended by inserting the words “in accordance with the Public Finance Management Act” immediately after the word “corporation” appearing in paragraph (c) . The justification is that the proposed amendment seeks to cross-refer to the Public Finance Management Act where it is stipulated...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I am very impressed with this amendment. Indeed, just like the Leader of the Majority Party has said, you cannot purport to sell something that you do not know the value of. Therefore, the inclusion of an initial valuation report in this Bill is very...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, this amendment cures an expense that we would have incurred in establishing the Appeals Board. I am in support because it will save time. If anybody is dissatisfied, we already have an existing judicial system where anybody can seek redress. Therefore, without pre-empting the subsequent amendments, there...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the New Clause 76 be now read a Second Time. (Question, that the New Clause be read a Second Time, proposed) (Question, that the New Clause be read a Second Time, put and agreed to) (Question, that the new clause be added...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I find this Petition interesting. Over a long time, we have attempted to introduce regulations to regulate religious organisations and churches. However, I find the prayers of the petitioner interesting. He proposes a standardised training for the 200 Bible schools or theological colleges he has...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to welcome our guests, Karima Girls High School and other schools that have visited the House. In the same breath, I would like to bring to the attention of the House that Karima Girls High School is a premier school...
