Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Much obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Much obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Speaker, you know this is very interesting. But I also want to say that Hon. Millie Odhiambo and Hon. Zamzam can speak from the perspective they would like to speak to. But the Hon. (Dr) Pukose is a renowned surgeon, a doctor, and a person who understands women's bodies...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Hon.

I note that Ms. Esse Akida, who currently plays professional football in Greece, hails...

Thank you very much, Waziri, for coming here to answer the questions. Just a quick one. When are you considering building a stadium in the North Coast? The North Coast does not have one. We have great talent. Great footballers of Harambee Stars like Abbas Magongo came from Kilifi. Do...

Hon. Speaker, on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, I beg to lay the following papers on the Table:

I thought I saw Hon. Musa sitting somewhere here. I must have seen him. Did you see him or you saw his likeness? I saw his figure around.

Hon Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the chairpersons of the departmental committees on Energy and Environment and Forestry and Mining regarding the implementation of a nuclear power plant project in Uyombo Village, Matsangoni Ward within...

I can do it since he is not here. This is the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party though it says Deputy Whip of the Majority Party on the Order Paper. Proceed. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House.

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. (Applause) Hon. Chairman, try to respond as soon as possible. Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, what is your point of order? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is the Government policy that abductions and such things do not drive us. Because...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, this House resolves to exempt the business appearing as Order No.11 in today's Order Paper from the provisions of Standing Order 40 (3) , being a Wednesday morning, a day allocated for business not sponsored by the Majority...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. With your indulgence, I want to request the Chairperson of the Committee, Hon. Tongoyo, to move the Motion and appoint a person to second him. Then, I will debate later.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report, and also to support the appointment of Douglas Kanja Kirocho as the Inspector-General of the Police. This country and the Constitution transformed the police from a force to a service. Douglas Kanja is a man who can...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also dovetail my question into what Prof. (Dr) Nyikal has said. The Means Testing Instrument has issues. How come it does not capture students’ history in paying school fees? You may have a student who was unable to pay school fees and was...

Hon. Speaker, I need to clarify what I said. This is a student who does not want to go to a private university. He applied to go to a public university in Kenya. KUCCPS places this student in a private university yet he has not requested so. When they get...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party:

I was supposed to move, but I asked him to move. I do not know if he knows anything about coffee. Hopefully, you have briefed him. Hon. Speaker, I would like to put it on record that this is a Bill by the Leader of the Majority Party, and this...

I will not allow you to move a Bill next time. (Laughter)

Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you are not a native English speaker, you may not understand English idioms. So, I want to put him in his place.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, this Bill also provides the role of county governments. They will enact county-specific legislation so that the counties that grow coffee can have their legislation on coffee to move the crop forward and ensure that it takes centre stage in this country as one of the key...

Before I sit down, I second. I also want to second that Hon. Wamuchomba stands up to speak on the Bill. As her doctor, I second her to do that.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Kandie is my very good friend, and he is almost a ranking Member. He is the one who controls KeRRA in his constituency. If a road is dilapidated, he needs to call the Director-General and they can fix it without waiting for the recess to end...

We will respond in two weeks after opening. I will let Hon. Pukose know about that request for statement so that they can follow up. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Wamboka being my friend, I will gladly ask that in two weeks after resuming from the recess. I will ask Hon. Koech to fast track the request for statement. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I sympathise with the people of Taita Taveta for the problems in the bodaboda industry. Having said that, I commit that I will inform Hon. Tongoyo to respond within two weeks. But this is something that probably requires an urgent operational kind of action. Therefore,...

Hon. Clive, I will inform the Chairman so that you can receive a response within two weeks after the resumption of the House. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Ariko. I will speak to the Chairman, Hon. Tongoyo, on the same so that we can get a response within two weeks after we resume from recess.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It has been a long wait, indeed, but we are finally here. First, I would like to congratulate the gallant lady for having been given the chance to be a Whip. Geza geza, you are welcome to the leadership of the House. It will be...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I stand here to support the good Prof. Bartoo on this land matter. There is something that is very fundamental. We must cure these problems so that the petitions that we bring to this House become useful to the people we represent. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will inform the Chairperson.

Thank you very much Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank the Leader of the Minority Party for moving with passion the adoption of this Report. Notably, during the interview, he was really impressed by these two ladies. Hon. Speaker, I second this Motion very strongly that Ms Dorcas be appointed the Attorney-General...

Hon. Speaker, I want to vehemently, oppose this Petition. In the Constitution, life is described as sacred. It should be preserved. It is illegal to take away one’s life same as another’s. Why would you want to jail someone for taking or attempting to take another person's life, but when...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important discussion because many students have despaired. They will neither fill these forms nor work on it. The initial forms they received scared them off university places. I know there was a circular by the Principal Secretary that they withdraw...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following papers on the Table:

It is not Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a. The Chairperson is Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a. Is it the Chairperson of the Committee on Regional Integration? Departmental Committee on Social Protection. It is Hon. Alice. Where is she? Can you tell her to bring a response to Hon. Mayaka’s Statement tomorrow afternoon? Much obliged,...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.38 of 2024) be now read a Third Time. Hon. Speaker, this is a very important piece of legislation that is awaited to ensure that we enable the counties to continue with their work....

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Order, Susan. There is a point of order from Hon. Owen Baya. Hon. Speaker, I have heard Hon. Susan say that 80 per cent of the Cabinet has no competence or competencies or whatever. Then she comes and tells us that we are...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The office of a cabinet secretary is a high office. Any person that this House approves to sit as a cabinet secretary must rise above board. They must rise above politics and all other prejudices that they have to serve the country. They must also be...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. We will defer this Order until when the Papers are ready. Then we will lay them.

Hon. Speaker, we probably need to defer it to a later time. You just told me you have them. Hon. Speaker, my papers are ready. Go ahead! Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Thank you very much. Our Standing Orders are clear that not even a written newspaper can be admissible as evidence in this House. When we go on a trajectory of hearsay information while discussing the high office of a Head of Public Service, it flies in the face of our...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, instead of all this, why can you not order that the NG-CDF CEO to appear before this House and clarify this matter. Those are some of the people who sleep on their job and pass the buck. They kick the can down the road. Ask the NG-CDF...
