Hon. Speaker, I thank you for the pole position. I start by first congratulating the Kenya team. I know there has been a lot of things said about this team, especially about their performance this year. I would like to remind this House that they come back home as the...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. KJ, what is out of order? Hon.

Temporary Speaker, this Member is a...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Catherine Omanyo should be responsible for the veracity of the statements she made. She is making these statements in relation to a boxer from Algeria. This boxer happens to be a lady. The committee did everything it needed to do to verify that this boxer was...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also extend my gratitude and congratulations to the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and his Committee. The current situation in the country has required this Committee to work diligently. Some Members may not be aware that due to the ongoing events in...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It would have been very much in order for the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to furnish this House with the provisions of the Constitution. To my knowledge, Article 96 of the Constitution talks about the role of...

Hon. Speaker, it is true that we had given a commitment of two weeks. The Committee is considering the matter. But because of the disruptions that have been there, in terms of workings of our Committee, it has taken a bit longer than we expected. In a week and a...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Motion as moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. I also object to the changes that were made by the Senate. This Bill was a great opportunity for this House to start addressing some of the matters that are being...

I speak as the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. Hon. Speaker, we have been given an opportunity to look at the Supplementary Estimates....

Hon. Speaker, I am standing on a Standing Order that provides for a Member to be relevant when debating. The Hon. Member has been on a tirade misinforming this House and by extension misinforming the nation on gossip peddled on social media and headlines. This gossip is what she has...

Hon. Speaker, I rise on a point of order on Standing Order No.91 which says that Member should be responsible for the statements they make on the Floor. All the matters the Hon. Member has prosecuted do not exist in the Finance Bill we are debating. She has talked about...

On a point of order. Yes, KJ. What is your point of order? Hon. Speaker, I was seeking to find out if the Majority Whip is in order. You have guided so well on the points that we have to confine ourselves to. However, the Majority Whip was deviating to...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Clive raises a very important point. As we go on recess, we are going to take up this matter and burn the midnight oil even as we attend to the budget issues. In two weeks, we shall be ready with a response. That...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had the honour and privilege to meet Gen. Ogolla and his family. What a fine gentleman and a big loss for this sneak preview of the kind of gentleman, person, and demeanour Gen. Ogolla had. Most importantly, he was a teacher who is teaching us...

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also thank Hon. Oscar Nabulindo for stopping the business of this House, so that we discuss a matter of great national interest. We ought to start by realising the responsibilities each person and entity holds. This House has a responsibility which goes beyond...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) : What is out of order, Hon. K.J.? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you will appreciate, the last thing I want to do is to interrupt my very good neighbour Hon. Beatrice Elachi, especially when...

On point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. KJ? Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a quick reaction to the Statement that has been presented by the Chairperson. I sympathise with her because the matters being handled here would have needed Waziri to do a...
