Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your indulgence. I was watching from the office as I attended to other business and I have come running. I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table: Reports of the Auditor-General and financial statements for the year ended...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I know they had a Committee meeting. I do not see any Member of the Committee here. It is most likely that they are not yet through. You can seek their indulgence.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I reply, I do not know if you also heard the first sentence from Hon. Millie. She said she knew I missed her, but she was not going to deal with me today. As you know, I was not...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. If Hon. Kaluma was here when the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party moved this Bill, if you go back to the Hansard, you will see that he quoted the actual case and court ruling that exists. That, however, is not...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to second the Motion.

Njuguna Kawanjiku consulted loudly) Hon....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Kaluma knows I said ‘purporting’ because as you rightly said, all kingpins purport to be kingpins but are never appointed by anybody. The Departmental Committee on Lands has substantially disagreed with a number of amendments and, therefore, it would...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to agree with the Budget and Appropriations Committee.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I have the microphone; I support. (Laughter)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I hear what Hon. Millie is saying. Looking at the list, the other justification was to keep the border with the nine members in line with the Mwangozo Code of Governance, probably if the Chairman would be amiable to accommodating Hon. Millie's...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I rise to support. I take this opportunity to commend Hon. Millie, not just for the many amendments, but for amendments that make a lot of sense and have enriched this Bill. It is also true that we have not had a...
