John Kiarie

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to congratulate Hon. Mwalimu Ikiara for bringing this important matter for consideration by the House. She is pricking our conscience as a nation for us to consider the least among us in society. The good book teaches that whatsoever you do to the...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. John Waweru, Member for Dagoretti South? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would imagine that you know how serious I take Hon. (Dr) Nyikal. It is the reason I rise to find out whether the Member for...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is an extremely serious matter. I support the Leader of the Minority Party for raising it. It affects every single constituency. Some people imagine that Nairobi City County is extremely well covered in terms of the road network. However, when you think about it, even previous...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not know how much justice I would do to this very important Bill in one minute, but I just want cotton production drive, we have to forget the past. Cotton was introduced in this country through borrowed means. It is the colonialists who...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What an amazing Motion brought by the Hon. Member for Mandera South. This goes to the core of the things we should be discussing in this day and age. In fact, a technology discussion is taking Kenya where it ought to be. Kenya has been...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have an intervention from Hon. John Kiarie. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you. I am extremely hesitant to interrupt my very good friend, Major (Rtd) Bashir. Kindly, protect me from the Major because being a second-term Member, he should understand that...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, he glossed over it and went on to make it even worse. He admitted it and went on to say that humanity is facing climate change in a more aggressive way than it has ever been seen before - something which falls flat on the issue of...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate this opportunity. First, I want to appreciate Hon. Melly and the Departmental Committee on Education for expeditiously answering to an issue that is of national concern. We have to identify the two issues here. One, that squarely falls on the administration...

I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also thank the Member for Embakasi Central for bringing this matter to the Floor so that it is discussed as a national issue. When we devolved with the new Constitution, we ended up with a suspended system. The system of devolution only devolves up...

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank Hon. Benjamin Gathiru for coming up with this Bill. He had brought it to the House in the previous year. I am glad because it has now seen the light of day. At the outset, I support it....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The last person I would like to stand up and oppose is Hon. Oundo. The magic of affordable housing rests on three things: aggregation, standardisation, and specialisation. It goes beyond the construction and occupation of the houses. Remember, we want to engage our artisans so...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you. I take this opportunity to thank the President and the Leader of the Opposition, the former Prime Minister, for finding the wisdom to serve the country, cool down temperatures and sit at the table and have a conversation about the posterity of this nation....

I would not want to dilute the honour that we are bestowing on the former Prime Minister, Hon. Raila Odinga. It is not lost to Members in this House, no less to the Leader of the Minority Party, that the Hon. Raila Odinga has had a very long and illustrious...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for accommodating me. I am juggling between the House and a sitting of a parliamentary Committee on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) matter of which I am the Chair.

Hon. Speaker, I truly thank you. I take this opportunity to wish you a happy new year and also congratulate you and the Clerk of the National Assembly for the amazing work that has happened in this Parliament during the recess. I stand to support this Procedural Motion on Limitation...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish you a happy new year since this is the first time you are presiding over a Session this year. I want to thank the Nairobi County Member of Parliament, Hon. Esther Passaris, the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) under the leadership of Hon....

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. KJ, is it on the same issue? Hon. Speaker, I wish to rise under Standing Order 1. I would require your attention. I am rising under Standing Order 1 to invoke your discretion. I want to ask you to call this House...

On a point of order. I am sorry, Hon. Beatrice Elachi. What is your point of order, Hon. John Waweru? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I normally restrain myself when the Member for Dagoretti North is on the Floor. I know that she is an extremely passionate legislator, a great leader and...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. KJ? Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is not my interest to interrupt my teacher, Hon. Ikiara. However, I want to know whether I am in order, noting the journey that this Bill has gone through… It was...
