Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you know Hon. Mulyungi knows I am good in my language. Therefore, I do not need to insinuate anything. I made a Statement detailing how many constituencies had their lists approved, which is 283. Seven are yet to submit their lists, with the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not intend to mean that Hon. Opiyo Wandayi is not in order to be making his point, but he is treading on very dangerous grounds, in my view. He has gone to the extent of debating not the Procedural...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you are well informed to guide Hon. Opiyo Wandayi. He has gone to the extent of disparaging the proceedings before the Committee in the pretext that he is laying grounds on the question of the time sought.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, let me point out, because if he is looking for opportunities to play politics, we could also do the same. But we want to restrict ourselves to the business before us on the Procedural Motion on extension of time. A person who has...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we must be careful with the words we use. Hon. Mbadi has thrice used the term “ungodly days.” I do not know what those ungodly days are, but I would just like to mention that it is precisely because of that that we...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for protecting me from Hon. Millie. I know she may not have read the Kenya Kwanza Coalition Manifesto. When I said that some of the naysayers could be seated here listening to me, maybe I was right. I want to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. John Mbadi has mentioned me and the people of Kikuyu who are very dear to me. Besides that, I was in the office listening to the contribution by Hon. John Mbadi, which is laden with a lot of misleading information. I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I qualified as an accountant when I was a student at the University of Nairobi in 1996. Hon. John Mbadi was then a junior accountant at the students’ welfare placed next to Hall 9. As a junior officer, he was not qualified. He qualified later.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) More importantly, Hon. John Mbadi as an accountant knows that you will not walk to a bank today without any banking history and be afforded the opportunity to access credit. It is that that informs… (Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona spoke off record) Hon. Temporary Speaker, if...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I just want, by way of comment, to thank the Member for Kamukunji for seeking this Statement.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was just concerned because the Member said his constituents call him on WhatsApp. I was wondering because since freedom came, we no longer use WhatsApp to call. Unless there is a section of this country that the public feels there is...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I just wanted to guide the Chairperson. Since this statement is going to his Committee, he should not be doing what he is doing now. He should just tell the House when he will deal with the matter because he is now...

Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, acknowledging that Article 256 of the Constitution provides for the process of amending the Constitution by parliamentary initiative; further...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) No wonder the Ministry of Education was very hesitant to roll out that project of Junior Secondary School miniature classrooms. Many of them dot our schools. Based on what I see in my constituency, I estimate 60 per cent of them are incomplete. However, they...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also thank you for jogging the House to the provision to the Standing Order 259 because we are a House of procedure and records, and it is only fair that we follow our own rules and 23rd November...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, with your indulgence, I know the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party has noted this problem. That is precisely why I asked him to second this Motion. This is because, looking at the numbers, there are 11 Members; six from the majority...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have to indulge the Member for Nyando. I have heard him “massaging” you by saying that he wished you were the President despite the fact that he never considered you to be his coalition’s presidential candidate. Just forgive him because...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg we support the amendment. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) You have moved the amendment and you are asking who will second? Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I want to ask Hon. Nyikal to second.
