Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to comment on this matter. Typically, regulations are published and approved by Parliament and remain in effect for 10 years. After that period, they lapse.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. As I listen to the discussions from my colleagues, we are speaking as if these are just bare facts. What we are discussing are crimes committed by the former Deputy President. His crime are offences that are set out in...

Yes. He mentioned that word in Uasin Gishu and he was picked swiftly by the police and ferried to Nairobi at night. The same thing happened to Hon. Oscar Sudi. Why has the former Deputy President not been arrested? In fact, this House must hold the NCIC to account because...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. This House has to be alive to one fact. It is well for us to appropriate funds in this House, but the National Treasury can sabotage us by ensuring no Exchequer is available. So, we can appropriate all we want in this House,...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order? Please give the Deputy Speaker the microphone. As much as I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party on the professionalism of Ms Hanna Wendot Cheptumo, I still think that 16th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to the Motion on consideration of nominees for appointment as Cabinet Secretaries.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, before I reply, allow Hon. Wamboka to contribute. I know he had a lot to say. He did not have an opportunity yesterday. Therefore, I will give him two minutes of my time.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I proceed to reply, I encourage Hon. Wamboka to take responsibility, as a leader from that region, and initiate the process of making sure that Kakamega Hospital becomes a national referral health facility. It is within his power to do so. I take this opportunity to...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the First Schedule to the Order Paper be amended –

Hon. Temporary Chairperson, it is actually correct that there is a reduction, but unfortunately, I have been explaining to the Members that they will not be able to move an amendment here because we are under Article 114 (2) of the Constitution under money Bills. It says that: “If, in...
