John Kiarie

Congratulations. (Applause)

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The English say that you have not succeeded until your successor succeeds. You performed exemplarily well on the Committee on Delegated Legislation and you are succeeding further because your successor is actually doing an impressive job. I would like to start by congratulating the Committee...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you profoundly. What we are doing here this morning is remedying a mischief. We ought to ask ourselves what mischief it is that we seek to remedy. When the Hon. Member for Nyando brought this matter to the Floor, we realised that a number of...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, some of us logged in at 1:30 p.m. so that we could get chance to contribute to the Sugar Bill 2022. It would be wrong for me to start contributing to this debate without, first, thanking Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe. If he has ever done some job in...

In conclusion I have got to...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I really appreciate the information. However, a key issue came up yesterday during debate, when it was suggested that, as a House, we need to uphold our Standing Orders. When a Member seeks to intervene during debate, he must say whether the intervention is on a point...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I confirm that you were, indeed, one of the brightest stars in our class and you went on to proceed beyond the undergraduate to very high levels of education. You are one individual we are proud of in our Kenyatta University alma mater....

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. No! I have not given you opportunity to speak, Hon. KJ. You said, "KJ proceed."

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I indicated my interest to speak on an earlier matter. Because Dagoretti South is a consumer of sugar and a constituency of sugar traders, I want to donate this time to people who belong to the sugar belt and have real concerns about sugar issues.

Hon. Speaker, I speedily wish Hon. Njeri Maina quick recovery. This is a young rising star of this House. On behalf of the youthful Members of Parliament… Just go on. This is a very serious matter. I am a victim of political violence. The English say that when the debate...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. A wise man says we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children. What we do with the earth while we are alive is important, especially at a time like this when the effects of climate change...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move this Motion that is a Report on the goings-on at the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) 146th Assembly that took place in Bahrain. The IPU is a Parliament that was established in 1889. It brings together 179 Parliaments from all over...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, your confession can be excused because my neighbour has just ceded the Floor, and it is becoming a Dagoretti affair. We see ourselves as one larger Dagoretti. So, I do not get offended when I am called the Member of Dagoretti North, and she does not feel...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I must congratulate the Hon. Member for Embakasi West, Hon. Mwenje. This Motion brings a very critical matter that goes beyond even the issues that he is raising: Policy. Hon. Mwenje is a Member of Parliament...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Member for Dagoretti South. Hon. Speaker, we now are a bit concerned as Members of Parliament representing Nairobi. First, these animals are being described as problematic, then they are being off-loaded to Nairobi City, a city that is already suffering from problems of...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. As has been said, this Petition is properly before this House. TikTok is a development in ICT, coming out of what we call the Fourth Industrial Revolution. If there is anything we have learnt from the first, second and third revolutions, it is that...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

The Leader of the Minority Party must substantiate where that militia is, under whose command, and why they think they can benefit from a mischief they manufacture themselves and come to this House to shed crocodile tears after…

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, under your watch, there has been perennial inobservance of the laws of this House. There is a reason why Standing Orders provide instruments with which Members can bring issues to the Floor. Heckling is...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I have taken time to internalise this very important Report. I commend the Committee and the Chairman. As a House, we can now see the wisdom of the 12th Parliament in establishing the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee. This...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, you are perfectly in order. That is the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. There are people who try to call it the Departmental Committee on Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) . We take them to school and let them know that ICT is a very...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Before I read the Statement, I would like to let it be known that in the National Assembly, the Inter- Parliamentary Union (IPU) is under the leadership of the very able Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei. I rise to give a general statement regarding...

I want to thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The opportunity to speak to this Motion is much appreciated. I would not stand and contribute to this without thanking the very able Chairman, Hon. David Gikaria from Nakuru Town and the Seconder, the Member for Baringo South for putting such a...

On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not intend to interrupt the flow of the Member’s thoughts on this debate. He was flowing very well. He has rightly said that there is a cohort of Members of Parliament who are interacting with the international instruments for the first time, which is very...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am honoured to have an opportunity to debate the ratification of this convention regarding the handling of mercury in Kenya. As we all know, the good Lord created this world and gave provisions for man and life on this planet, which were well balanced...
