Much obliged, Hon. Speaker. 1st April will be Fools’ Day.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have already eaten into my forty seconds. I rise first of all to support this Division of Revenue Bill, Bill (No. 2 of 2026) . Notwithstanding the contradictions, that in this Bill it is Ksh420 billion and elsewhere, it is Ksh450 billion, I will rely...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First and foremost, on my own behalf and that of my family and the people of Baringo North and Baringo County, I want to take this opportunity to condole with the familyof Johana Ngeno, his wife, his two children, his parents, the great people of Emurua...

Thank you, Chairman. I was also dealing with the assignment you assigned us as a committee. Which Chairman? (Laughter) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yes. It is because I came from a committee that was chaired by a chairperson. I am sorry. The state of this country, especially in our ASAL...

I support.

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I support the Teachers Service Commission (Amendment) Bill. The Mover has brought forward fundamental issues that affect the teaching profession. The TSC needs to pay acting allowance to administrators, appointed teachers to act as principal or head teacher. The acting position should...

Hon. Speaker, we shall bring a report in two weeks. Thank you. The issue affects the whole country, not only Ijara Constituency.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am extremely shocked by the manner in which Kenyans can be taken all the way to Moscow to fight another sovereign country called Ukraine. This is a chilling matter. We are so vulnerable to an extent that we are unable to manage the Kazi Majuu...

Hon. Speaker, I have never trained a bandit. If anything, we have seen people doing banditry for many years, and today I report to you that there are no more bandits. They have been finished, and the people of North Rift are peaceful. I am now the bishop of everybody...

Thank you. I wish to approach this matter objectively and not be drawn into the politics of regimes. I want to focus on the betterment of the people of Kenya. The beginning of progress for the industrial revolution, or take-off in Kenya, hinges on electricity and the cost of production....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I support the Privatisation Bill. I am a Member of the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee, which moved across the country collecting views on this Bill from Kenyans. The Bill is not new to this House. It was introduced in 2023, but...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask for the Cabinet Secretary’s intervention on the roads leading to Kerio Valley. The road that begins from Barwessa to Kinyach is being used by AINAN Contractors Limited, which are doing Kinyach-Kapsowar and Kapsaraman-Kinyach roads. There is a section at Kuikui Secondary School...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Yes, Hon. Makilap. Hon. Temporary Speaker, is it in order for the Chairman to say that Kalenjins make up 66 per cent in Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) yet Kalenjin is not registered anywhere as a tribe? There is Tugen, Nandi,...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Makilap, what do you still find to be out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, we need to expunge the words ‘Kalenjin community’ from this Report. If the Chairman is serious about it, he could break down the representation of Keiyos, Nandis,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this constitutional amendment Bill to entrench the NG-CDF into the supreme law of our country. Let me, briefly, take you through our history as a country. Where have we come from? In the 1980s, the Government introduced the Focus for Rural...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to respond to the request for a Statement by Hon. Timothy Toroitich, Member for Marakwet West on the status of secondary education quality improvement projects in Marakwet West, popularly called SEQIP. It is true that the Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am Hon. Toroitich’s neighbour. We, as the Departmental Committee on Education are more serious than the Member of Parliament. For once, we interrogated. When he says that we did not interrogate, how did he know that yet he did not appear in the meeting?...
