Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Wandayi was doing very well. He was saying what Kenyans want to hear. However, when he said that the people who killed the sugar industry were in ODM and are now in UDA, he went out of what...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation for the work they are doing. I requested the Statement on the premise that the Luigi-Broglio Space Centre has been there for many years but has not benefited...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is not fair for the Member to speak from both sides of his mouth. He said clearly that he has consulted in Malawi in carbon credit business, and that he has a business in carbon credit that earns him money....

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am also encouraging domestic tourism for the good of the people of Kilifi. Many people will be coming to Kilifi County to bury their dead. This is a serious national issue. Previous governments did it dishonestly, and we lost money...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Speaker, we have two Members of Parliament Hon. Pareiyo and Hon. Tonkei who are dressed in a manner suggesting that they are not in Parliament. I think there is a dress code in Parliament. I do not think this House has allowed that...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill, which has come at the right time. What we consume in this country and what animals consume as feeds, which later translate to human food, is questionable....

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill that has been tabled by our good friend, Hon. Didmus Barasa, is timely. When you do not give pensioners their money, you shorten their lives. At times like this when the economy situation is hard...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, indulge me again.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) I think this matter appeared in the Order Paper yesterday but it was stepped down to today. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg your indulgence that we allow this Motion to be in the Order Paper in the next available time.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) No, we finished with Order No.13 earlier today. It was dispensed with and the Question was put. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : We are at Order No.14. I am calling upon the Mover to move it. Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA)...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg your indulgence that we step it down to the next available time, so that the matter is dispensed with then. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) We do not have them, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Therefore, we will step them down. However, I think it is procedural that we deal with them one after the other until we are done with all of them. I just wish we could consider them...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) I request that Order No.16…

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I request that we reschedule this Bill to the next available time. We may not have the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party to move it. We are not adequately prepared.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, ODM) Hon. Speaker, the Hon. Lady known as "full network," or Hon. Mohammed Fatuma Zainab, is much more aligned with Hon. Robert Mbuis's area of jurisdiction. We should agree to step down the Motion for now and try to find out whether she can make...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) It is not in my place to stop my counterpart on the Minority side but when he makes statements that are a figment of his imagination and not factual, we need to stop him in his tracks. The Deputy President was very clear about...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) On a point of order.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you know it is very unfortunate to think a person is from a certain community just because that person bears a name that resembles another person’s. How do you know that person is from a particular ethnic community? We should not...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) The Member is on fire and we need to cool her down. She is saying that the former Prime Minister practised nepotism or tribalism by hiring all the people she has mentioned, from the same region. She will later say that other people have...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to condole with the people of Kesses. My brother and friend, we say pole for the loss of Dr Misoi. I did not share time with Dr Misoi in the Chamber, but I knew a few...

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Ngala and Masinde Muliro. He came out very strongly.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to commend you especially on the first issue of Private Members’ Bills. More often, Members prepare Bills and send them to Committees and they journey for four years as the Bill is tossed from one Committee to another....

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Speaker, today, we do not have Papers.

Hon. Owen Baya (Kilifi North, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not want to be seen as being part of the Executive. However, it is important for Members to know that immediately the budget and the Finance Bill are passed, IFMIS will need time to load the new budget. So,...
