Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The 12th Parliament, in its wisdom, decided to split the PIC to create "three arms of PIC," as I would call them. I am a Member of this Committee, and I commend the Chairman. I can see that Hon. Sigei and Hon. Chiforomodo are in the...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, according to the last Communication from the Speaker, we can have some joyriders on the supplementary question, which is what I wanted to ask. What is your joyride now? This will only happen if she is willing because she has done the mandatory job that she was...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I think this Bill is very timely. It has taken long for us to bring such a Bill in this House and I am proud it has found me here. Hon. Temporary Speaker, unfortunately land issues have become matters that are split...

Unfortunately, I do not have it in front of me now. Perhaps you will remind me what it says.

Correct. But the money they collect is not clear. You know the report of the Auditor-General concerning the last two accounts of the County Government of Nairobi. Yes.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have a direct answer to that question. As we speak today, the counties have the mandate of collecting the rates. They have failed. As an advocate, I can tell you for sure that I have struggled, especially with parcels of land coming from Eastlands...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will just speak for one minute. As long as we can effectively collect... The Kenya Revenue Authority has done it effectively. I know counties may want to compete with us but KRA is better placed. More importantly, we saw it here in Nairobi County...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I ask my supplementary question, I would request that you guide the Cabinet Secretary that when he responds, he does so to the Member who has asked the Question. As an introduction, my name is Mark Mwenje. My supplementary question is: In Nairobi we...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary:

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My question to the Ministry is why they are allowing subdivision of parcels of land that measure 20, 30, 40 acres without providing for surrender of public utilities as has been the custom in Nairobi. I raised this issue because this is happening in Mowlem...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I had asked whether there was a written response, but the Cabinet Secretary did not respond.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is not on the supplementary questions, but the initial one that he had notice on. Do you want the written answer? Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. It has come to my attention that State House is being given Ksh7.3 billion yet the Office of the President has already been given Ksh4.3 billion. We have noted that the amount that has been allocated to the youth is only Ksh3 billion. Education development...

Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question. Could the Cabinet Secretary: Hon. Speaker, I will move on to the last part of the Question. I am sure Hon. Members of Parliament are all aware or are conversant with this one. The Boards of...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education, the following Question by Private Notice:

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Should I repeat the Question? The Cabinet Secretary has heard you. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker and the Cabinet Secretary. Frankly, the Cabinet Secretary is giving us information already in the public domain. Allow me to follow up with two supplementary questions. Could the Cabinet Secretary provide the identity of the person responsible for allowing the armed youth to invade the school?...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to note that the Member for Kamukunji did not say all first timers and new Members. He might have used the term ‘some’ and there are some who have failed us. I want to agree with my colleagues from the other side that they...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that lack of access to ownership of productive assets, in particular to land, is one of the very serious sources of economic and social insecurity for Kenyans; further aware that many communities particularly in rural areas and...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, could the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration:
