RASSO, DIDO ALI.

Thank you very much Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also thank Hon. Ruweida for bringing this important Motion. Those of us with a military background acknowledge that soldiery is one of the oldest professions. The word 'soldier' comes from the Latin word 'solidus', which was a gold coin used to pay...

Yes. I give you two weeks to bring the Statement. Obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Pukose really wants the Question to be put, but I must contribute to this Motion. The EPAs are important. However, as a country, we must ask ourselves the hard questions. Will they be bilateral or multilateral trade links? Will we trade with 27...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to pay tribute to General Ogolla and nine other gallant officers, men and women, who fell in that terrible aircraft crash. I know General Ogolla because we joined KDF around the same time. Our paths crossed as he grew up in the...

Two weeks is okay, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the Budget Implementation for the Second Quarter of the Financial Year 2023/2024 with respect to:

Two weeks, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. You just need to walk around the Parliamentary Square to see the changes and know that there is a new sheriff in town – from the dining area, all the way to the pavements being done from where we access Continental House. At times,...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to respond to a request for statement on the delayed release of the autopsy report of the late Inspector Walter Nyamato. The Member for Kitutu Masaba, Hon. Clive Gisairo, sought for a statement regarding the delayed release of the autopsy report of...

I am continuing, Hon. Speaker. The autopsy report has taken inordinately long time because the late officer died in a foreign country, the United States of America. This prompted the need to establish the cause of his unfortunate death before the body could be flown back to Kenya. The report...

I understand the concerns of the Hon. Member. However, the issue that we both must understand is that the officer died in a foreign country. Information on the autopsy report may not necessarily be released to the Government. Even if that is done, the family will receive that information first....

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. We will, as a Committee, take it upon ourselves to get the autopsy report as soon as possible. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I stand to support the amendment. The Principal Bill wants to define the words “Committee” and “National Security Advisor”. In that context, this was a violation of Article 240 of our Constitution. For that reason, if it is declined by the Committee of the whole...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I beg to support this amendment. The Attorney-General is the State legal officer. When anyone sues the Government, they sue the Attorney-General. For that reason, the idea of transferring the Public Seal was misplaced. I thank the Committee for rejecting the proposal. The Temporary Chairlady...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to join the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Sarah Korere and Hon. Mwangi Kiunjuri on what they have expressed this afternoon. I speak from the Floor of this House as the patron of the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group, as a former officer...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From what Hon. Keynan has raised, the issue of people disappearing is slowly coming back. For all intent and purpose, I thought we buried the idea of Kenyans disappearing with the last Government. Kenyans are disappearing when there are law courts and law enforcers. People...

Thank you very Much…. Hon. Members, please let us give the Hon. Member for Saku, who is the Vice-Chairman, an opportunity to respond? Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe that Hon. Keynan is loud and clear. Kenya is governed by the rule of law. (Hon. Junet Mohamed...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary a specific question on Marsabit. The Marsabit Stadium was built by both the county government and Sports Kenya. One side of the Stadium is complete while the other is still lagging. Who takes responsibility for such...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support this petition. By the time a Member stands on the Floor of this House to present a petition, it means land is either private, public or communal. Land does not exist in perpetuity. It must belong somewhere. It is only in Kenya...

Much obliged Hon. Speaker. Thank you. Next is Hon. Geoffrey Ruku, Member for Mbeere North. TAX INCENTIVE CLAIMS

Hon. Speaker, you are right. That is a matter of foreign affairs and not for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration because the death happened in a foreign land. This is a matter in foreign jurisdiction, Hon. Kawaya. We will route your request to the Departmental Committee on Defence,...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. We have had such offices in this country. During the previous administration, we had Chief Administrative Secretaries. It was confirmed, and many of us agreed; that it was not anchored in law. Some Chief Administrative Secretaries appeared before...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, this Clause tells us that you are not going to prevent the county from taking the initiative in terms of establishing housing units. The Hon. Member for Seme is saying that this thing is domiciled at the national level and patented. However, that is not the case....

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the onset, let me thank the Member for Endebess and Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health for bringing this very interesting Report on ratification of this agreement Today, scientific institutes are intended to extend frontiers of science and medicine. After the...
