Hon. Temporary Chairman, I totally support the amendment by Hon. Muriu on the inclusion of New Clause 16A. Why request for goods when you cannot pay for them? I further propose that if you owe taxes and the Government has a pending bill owed to you, then the Government should...

Thank you, very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I propose we do not increase the Railway Development Levy from 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent. Rather, we should retain at 1.5 per cent. This will ensure that we maintain the cost of imports low. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim)...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, it would be in bad faith to think someone with a PhD is a bad manager. I mean, for you to study all the way to PhD level… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Hon. Kaguchia, the argument on the Floor is not that he is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In the same breath, on the issue of the University of Nairobi, we seem to be having an administrative challenge where the Chairman of the Council of the University, Prof. Amukowa Anangwe, seems to be wreaking havoc. He seems to have removed the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Stephen...

Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you very much for giving me this opportunity once again. You had requested me to table evidence on the many issues that I raised here.

Hon. Speaker, I want to be on record… Hold on there. Hand over the documents to the Clerk. He has already told me that he needs to verify. Having documents and proving your case are two different things. (Laughter) Hon. Speaker, just on the same as I table the documents;...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to make my contribution. As we have noted, the SOFA has previously been abused and misused by Government functionaries.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand guided. I stand to oppose the Special Motion that seeks to impeach the Deputy President.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I withdraw the naming of Hon. Kagombe and apologise. I also hope that you have noted that Hon. Wamumbi has hit me with a bottle of water. It is unparliamentarily that an hon. Member would …. Order. Hon. Wamumbi, did you throw a bottle? (Loud consultations)...

Hon. Speaker, Henry Kissinger stated that the quest for peace and order has two elements that are sometimes treated as contradictory. He said that if you cannot achieve the pursuit of security and the requirements of acts of reconciliation, you will not be able to reach either of them. He...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate the Bill as presented in this House this afternoon, by Hon. KJ, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee. He is a very diligent young man, I dare say. I went to school in Hon. KJ's Constituency. Today, Hon. Millie Odhiambo has...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I thank you very much. I support the amendment by Hon. Millie. We need to have shelters for people who have been found in such compromising situations.
