Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am trying to exit the House. I have heard our Honourable colleague. Prepare to allocate more money to the police in the next financial year. We will respond in two weeks, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Member for Embakasi West, Hon. Mark Mwenje, raised concerns about insecurity in Nairobi County. The Member particularly sought a report on investigations into the murders of Mr Matthew Kyalo Mbobu, who was shot and killed on 9th September 2025 in a drive-by...

This is a very exciting gentleman. He has been missing for a while. Hon. Temporary Speaker, on the issue of Joshua Kubiti, preliminary investigations established that the death resulted from a fight between groups of young boys aged between 12 and 19 years, most of whom are school-going children who...

Thank you very much. STATUS OF OPERATIONALISATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS IN BUSIA COUNTY Let us agree that since Hon. Catherine is in the House and she has read the response, you can try to summarise. Thank you, Temporary Speaker. I am well guided. The Member for Busia County, Hon. Catherine...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe that in this Chamber, each Hon. Member is awaiting a location, sub-location, or sub-county that has been gazetted for operationalisation. The bottom line is that the Ministry does not have enough funds. To be fair to everyone, once the Committee receives funds, we...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Member for Kandara, Hon. Chege Njuguna, requested to be apprised of the disappearance of Mr Joseph Ng’ang’a Muhia. He particularly sought to be informed about the status of the investigation into his disappearance. Secondly, steps are being taken…

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Secondly, the Member requested information on the steps the National Police Service (NPS) is taking to complete investigations and ensure that Mr Joseph Ng’ang’a Muhia is found and reunited with his family. Thirdly, the Member wanted to know what action was being taken to ensure...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Every life in this country is important, and I understand why my colleague is speaking with passion. Secondly, they say justice delayed is justice denied. Today, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) handed over this Report to us. We told them that it...

We will give the Ministry two weeks to provide us with an adequate response.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Listening to the Member for Aldai, I used to think insecurity is prevalent in our area, where we actually fight day and night, cattle are stolen and people are killed. In this particular case, I am worried that there are people who come to your...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Listening to the Member for Aldai, I used to think insecurity is prevalent in our area, where we actually fight day and night, cattle are stolen and people are killed. In this particular case, I am worried that there are people who come to your...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. According to what Hon. Millie is proposing, this is a House of traditions. If you wish to move an amendment on the Floor of the House, you should have a discussion with the Chairperson of the Committee so that you agree before moving...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We will respond immediately after the recess.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Having listened to how the Cabinet Secretary answered these questions, I am surprised. Do not make a Statement; ask a question. The KUCCPS falls under the Ministry of Education, but KMTCs falls under the Ministry of Health. In terms of funding for KMTCs, does the...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Raso? Hon. Deputy Speaker, KUCCPS falls under the Ministry of Education while KMTC falls under the Ministry of Health. If the Ministry of Education is not able to fund the KMTCs, why do they go...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. In the Cabinet Secretary’s response to the Question by Hon. Martha, he talked about the problem of teacher shortages. Why has it taken almost eight months for him to approve Marsabit Teachers Training College, where we will train more teachers, and try to...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I believe when you sit on that Chair, you do not have a vote. You must be a fair arbiter. What we are raising with the Cabinet Secretary are matters that are out there. We live in Nairobi, and children leave their homes at

We are the representatives of the people, and that is why we must have our say. You should hear us. Even if the Cabinet Secretary has no answers, he has said that he will investigate or provide us with answers.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, that is precisely what we are seeking from you and the Cabinet Secretary, and he has made a good point.

Thank you very much. I thank the CS for his response. I think he confirms a teething problem in funding extracurricular activities. My question to him is why we do not allow schools or regions to fund up to the regional level. Then, the Ministry takes up that responsibility at...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have listened to the Cabinet Secretary on funding gaps of Ksh2 billion in primary schools and over Ksh20 billion in secondary schools. Considering such funding gaps, what is the predictable expectation of teachers or headteachers in supporting education that you almost call...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The question I posed to the Cabinet Secretary was that he said in primary school, a learner will be entitled to Ksh1,400, and in junior school, Ksh15,042. If that is the case and there is a funding gap, what is the predictable amount...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I come from the area and I am cognisant of what Hon. Wario has presented. As a Committee, we will give a response in two weeks.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is on the lips of Kenyans is the issue of police brutality and impunity. What is unacceptable is for people in lawful custody to die or be killed. We will respond to the House in two weeks.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We will have a tête- à-tête with the Member, and we will respond in one week. 7th October 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 8 A

Thank you very much. Considering that this is a very important Bill, this amendment confirms that virtual business must be within controlled space. It should be regulated through an authority and the Cabinet Secretary. It does not matter where individuals are in the world. Someone must be watching over them...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this amendment on a limb. A regulation operationalizes a law, whether existing or being crafted. In this case, we can only give ground as lawmakers in this land to first put this law before our people. We can then have this...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Committee for this report. Posting of ambassadors and high commissioners is a very important work for the country.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are well guided.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, we do not have a response to that Question. In hindsight, we expected the issue to be discussed yesterday when the Cabinet Secretary was on the Floor. Nevertheless, we will still ask the Ministry to give us a response.

On a point of order. Hon. Raso, what is out of order? Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have the Statement regarding insecurity in Isiolo. The one you had just spoken about? Yes. 14th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 8 Well, the Member who asked the Question is...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, with your indulgence, the Chairman of the Committee can give the response, although it was…

Yes. So, the response cannot be repeated in the Afternoon Sitting. Yes, it is the same response. 14th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 10

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to second. If this House approves Dr Amani Yuda Komora and Ms Siparo as members of the National Police Service Commission, it will complete the Commission's membership, which currently consists of seven members. With the addition of these two, there will...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. We will respond to the request within the first week after recess.

Hon. Speaker, considering the gravity of this matter, we will speak to the Ministry to give us a response as soon as possible. We will then call the Hon. Member so that within two weeks, we get a response to her request. Within the Committee? Yes.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I came this morning at 9.30 a.m. Therefore, my honourable colleague from Murang’a should hold her horses. I rise to support this Motion. I support it as a humanitarian and an international citizen. What is happening in Gaza and the Western Strip, between...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We do not have a response, but in any case, the Cabinet Secretary will be appearing before us this afternoon. Maybe, the Hon. Colleague will be in his place to put the same to the Cabinet Secretary.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. At the outset and as Hon. Millie Odhiambo has explained very heavily, devolution is about devolving resources and services to the people. Today, the only devolved resources in this country that Kenyans can put their finger on...
