Joseph Makilap

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Can I be given audience? I am a Member of the Committee. We received views from Kenyans through public participation and examined the situation in the country. If banks were to merge, that process can take about three years. If they want to reorganise their...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The essence of a Committee of Parliament going out to the people of Kenya is to listen to their voices. The people of Kenya are saying unregulated financial digital lenders are killing them. It is a scam. We support the Report of the Committee. If...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I rise to support those amendments, especially the one on the green bonds. When the worse comes to the worst, we can raise resources to fund our programmes through such infrastructure bonds. Therefore, we should exempt them from taxation, so that there is room for...

First and foremost, I declare that I support the Report of the Committee and the proposals by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. Under our Chairman, we were able to visit some parts of this country. I want to put it on record, wherever we went, Kenyans said...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I know it very well. Let me use another example. A helicopter can fly from Nairobi to Mt Kilimanjaro in Arusha, is repaired and comes back to Kenya. Who would have lost business? It is Kenya. There will come a time when Endebess in Kenya,...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, being a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, where Hon. Francis Kuria Kimani is my Chairman, I want to sincerely thank him because it must go on record that this Bill is an...

(Technical hitch)Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank Dr. Oundo for this Bill. The Member has struggled to bring up this particular Bill for seven years. I thank the broad-based administration which has the Leader of the Majority Party who supports this Bill. Prof. Oundo, this is the way forward. I am...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I have abandoned what I was about to do because of the goodwill of the Leader of the Majority Party. First of all, I support the Kenya Roads Board (Amendment) Bill. This is the right way to go...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me comment on economic terms. Not all of us in the North Rift are maize farmers. A majority of us are pastoralists. The Kenya Kwanza administration has been working very hard to bring down the cost of living generally. It is only when the prices...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree…. Hon. Makilap. Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. That is my true name - yours truly. I agree with the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. As a country, it is the reality that after the fall of the Finance Bill, 2024, we are...

(Loud consultations)Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Protect me from the leadership. They are consulting loudly. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah and Hon. Osoro, please consult in low tones. I will not mention the lady's name. She is my colleague. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I rise to support David Kibet Kemei's appointment...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Competition Authority must create a fair playground for all businesspeople in Kenya. That is the man who will put in order the monopolies that are in business. Look at the milk industry. Milk production and its value chain are skewed towards one competitor who...

Hon. Speaker, the Chairman will walk in, in a few minutes with the report. It is done. Give him a few minutes.

Not yet, Hon. Speaker. I have told him to hurry up.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Joint sitting of the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the approval hearing of Mr David Kibet Kemei, nominee for appointment as...

Hon. Speaker, I wish to give notice of Motion on the vetting of a nominee for appointment as the Director-General of the Competition That is not how you give notice of Motion. Hon. Speaker, let me repeat. Go on. Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion…...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to say that the ruling by the judges was an affront against the people of Kenya, who elected us to this House. Members of Parliament represent the interests of the people of Kenya. We are the lawmakers. The judges are...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also join my colleagues in supporting this request for a statement by Hon. Kamket. The qualifications needed for management and administration at the grassroots level are different from those for a chief. In some areas, the people at the locations and sub-locations require an...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have two things to say. I thank the Ministry of Interior and National Administration through the Cabinet Secretary for their quick response during that time. Today is 19th September 2024. That incident happened in August. You can look at the time it took to...
