Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You know the Deputy Speaker and the Member for Endebess had a problem with me foot-thumping for the School as you appreciated the schools present. The Member for Endebess knows the school in the Speaker’s Gallery. It is of course the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Yes, Hon. Speaker. I think I can undertake that. The Chairperson was here but I am told he has gone to my office. I do not know to do what yet I am here. (Laughter)

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I just heard he has gone to my office, I do not know to do what yet I am here but, I can undertake. I want to indicate to the Member that the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Education paid a courtesy call to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am wondering whether this Statement has not been expended by the Notice of Motion which the Member for Mosop has already given in relation to this discussion because it is very similar to the issues that are about to be...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, first, I do not know whether Hon. Junet has any powers to appoint anybody as a Cabinet Secretary. I do not know whether he was the one appointing Cabinet Secretaries to purport that I refused to be appointed. I believe that if I...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I said Hon. Junet thrives on propaganda. He is now quoting newspapers that only he seems to have read. I read his tweet 22nd November 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 19 Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA)yesterday speaking to matters that are already before a...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. That is advice that the House can take because Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi not only represents farmers, but is also a maize farmer. He is speaking facts. It is only that he probably did not get what I said. I said that...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Therefore, I will seek an answer from the Ministry and give it next week.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I had indicated that I will do so in one week which falls on Tuesday next week. I hope Hon. Junet will be in the Chamber.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me just add my voice to this issue. On the question of GMO, it is only fair that we address ourselves to both issues of science and fact. A lot of things are being peddled out there that may...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi is a very good friend of mine. Of course, he knows why he had to stand. That is a point of debate. He knows what I am talking about and he knows there are peddlers of fear out there....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) We should appeal to our farmers so that we are able to mitigate the cost of living. Farmers must also be aware that with the release of subsidised fertiliser this year, their cost of production is likely to come down. Rains are with us in...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. With your indulgence, I wish Ms. Lucy Wanjohi all the best as she commences her retirement. As you said, Hon. Speaker, it is, indeed, true that one may not look as old as they are. Ms. Lucy looks much younger and...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is indeed true that there is nothing in the Statement regarding the Motion by Hon. Mbadi on the proposal to set up a select committee. That matter came before the House Business Committee this week and we deliberated on it....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I am sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was just looking up at the Speaker’s Row because I could not trace one of the successful candidates. Allow me to take this opportunity to, first, thank all the Members of the 13th National Assembly for the peaceful...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Junet, I am on a point of order. Hon. Deputy Speaker, this political posturing is typical and characteristic of Hon. Junet. It is completely out of order for him to purport that the Member Elect, Hon. Godfrey Mwangi Maina, was rejected by any coalition....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table: Report to Parliament on all new loans contracted by Government of Kenya from 1st May 2022 to 31st August 2022 from the National Treasury and Planning. Quarterly Economic and Budgetary Review...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I rise to respond to last week’s request by the Leader of the Minority Party regarding the status of disbursement of NG- CDF for the Financial Year 2022/2023. I have a Statement from the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury, Prof. Njuguna...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Lilian Gogo and Hon. Bissau are addressing the Leader of the Majority Party as if he is the CS of the National Treasury. I just want to inform them that the Leader of the Majority Party is neither the CS in...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to react to what Hon. Millie Odhiambo has said. We must appreciate that these Petitions are from members of the public who have every right to petition this House. Therefore, we should consider the Petitions with due diligence...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had, indeed, indicated to Hon. Wandayi that you had given direction and I was hoping that you will get to it. I have engaged with the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury…

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I am not ready with the Statement.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I want to request for your indulgence that we do this either tomorrow or Thursday, if it is possible.

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I can push the Cabinet Secretary to finish because he had given a sketchy Statement that I told him I was not comfortable with.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30 (3) (b) , this House resolves to hold a Morning Sitting on Thursday, 17th November 2022 commencing at Motion to have a morning sitting when Hon....

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Members must appreciate that Hon. Junet occasionally wants to entertain the House and especially on Thursday evenings. I beg to lay the following Papers on the table of the House: The fourth batches of nominees to 43 NG-CDF Committees from the...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to associate myself with the sentiments of the Leader of Minority Party that matters to do with NG-CDF and the NG-AAF which is ably patronised by our County Members of Parliament are matters that are very sensitive not...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, noting the Resolution of the Senate of Wednesday, 9th November 2022 regarding its partial concurrence on the appointment of Members of Parliament to the Parliamentary Service Commission, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was standing up then the Clerk moved away. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) a, I rise to give the following Statement, on behalf to the House Business Committee which met on Tuesday, 8th November 2022, to...

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join my two colleagues in expressing my concern on the same. This issue that Hon. Chepkong’a has raised goes to the heart of our Constitution in terms of what is defined as the role of 10th November 2022...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On a light note, I noticed that Hon. Junet was very happy when you stood up and ably protected him from Hon. Bensuda. (Laughter) No sooner had I mentioned Hon. Bensuda than she reappeared. (Laughter) Hon. Speaker, allow me to recognise...

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am sorry for interrupting the debate on this Motion. I just want to request you, since we already have all the nominees for election to the East African Legislature Assembly (EALA) , to direct the Office of the Clerk...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

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

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to support the request for Statement by the Member for Awendo. Insecurity issues are indeed on the rise. They are not only in Awendo constituency but also across the nation. We have seen very unfortunate incidents, including the stabbing of...

Hon Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I just want to respond to a few issues that have been raised and to take great exceptions to some of the things and thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for the guidance you gave. The Hon. Member for Nyando, Jared Okello was...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. There is no response to what Hon. Jared Okello has said. More important issues were raised by the Member for Kitutu Masaba, Hon. Clive, who, incidentally, has lived in the DRC, as he has said. Therefore, he is appraised of...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am still laughing at that statement on ethnic excitement and celebrations and wondering whether it is pre facto or post facto, as you put it. Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House:
