Ali Rasso Dido

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. We are a House of traditions and customs, and it is in order for the Chairperson to move an amendment that does not substantively affect the body of the law being debated. This is not the first time we are doing it. The...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This amendment is to ensure that the rights of Kenyans are safeguarded. Although it just talks about something to do with legal proceedings, imagine you have a pending bill before that institution, and by dint of this law, somebody says you cannot claim...

On a point of order. Next Order. Hon. Dido Raso never raises a point of order. What is out of order today? The directions I have given are all for the convenience of the House. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you are giving chances to those who...

Finally. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Indeed, this is the culmination of the budgetary process for the year 2025. We must thank both the Budget and Appropriations Committee and Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, for they have done a good job. For the first time, there...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this amendment. Roads are such an important asset and also the most expensive asset. Imagine in constructing a road you spend Ksh40 million per kilometre of tarmac road. It is such a precious commodity that we must safeguard in...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the ladies in the House have accepted our apologies. (Loud consultations) Order, Hon. Members. Proceed, Hon. Raso. I rise to second this Motion. (Hon. TJ Kajwang’ and other Hon. Members spoke off the record) Hon. T.J. Kajwang’, you are actually shouting from your...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Raso? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The person who sought this statement is seated there comfortably. I am not sure whether he is satisfied with the response. But for those who were listening, we are...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. (Several Hon. Members raised their hands)

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with you. People must bide their time. Thank you for this opportunity. I rise to support this very important Bill. I want to share an experience with the House. A few weeks ago, I visited the International Air Transport Association (IATA)...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. We will respond in two weeks’ time.

In two weeks’ time, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will take less than two minutes to contribute to this very important Motion. This Agreement is profound. It is about addressing the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) that stretches 250 nautical miles outside our territorial waters. The future of resources on earth will be in...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. I would like to ask my colleagues to bear with me. Indeed, I am fasting, and I wanted to contribute and leave. At the outset, I would like to thank and congratulate the Committee, headed by the Hon. Atandi. I...

Hon. Speaker, could you give us a few minutes?

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The Member for Wajir East Constituency, Hon. Mohammed Daudi, had requested a statement on alleged discriminatory screening protocols imposed on passengers flying to and from the North Eastern region. The Hon. Member sought to be informed on the justification for the continued requirement for...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I believe the Cabinet Secretary was very clear when he was responding to this. He was talking about the threat of terrorism. If Hon. Members in this House are saying no to that, then they must vigorously challenge that position. Secondly, it is about...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am well guided. What other response do you have? The one regarding Butere Girls High School.

Yes, Hon. Speaker, regarding the death of Mr Yusuf Ali Abdi. Hon. Speaker, the Member of Parliament for Mombasa County, Hon. Zamzam Mohammed, requested a statement regarding the unfortunate death of Mr Yusuf Ali Abdi following the partial collapse of the demolished building in Mombasa. The Member sought to be...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate Hon. Zamzam’s concerns. Indeed, this was a very unfortunate incident. This particular response by the Cabinet Secretary states that there was a structural problem with the building, and they opened an inquest after the death of Mr Yusuf. Since the issue involves...

Hon. Speaker, could you give us a few minutes?

Discriminatory screening protocol.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The Member for Wajir East Constituency, Hon. Mohammed Daudi, had requested a statement on alleged discriminatory screening protocols imposed on passengers flying to and from the North Eastern region. The Hon. Member sought to be informed on the justification for the continued requirement for...

Zamzam Mohammed, requested a statement regarding the unfortunate death of Mr Yusuf Ali Abdi following the partial collapse of the demolished building in Mombasa. The Member sought to be...

This particular response by the Cabinet Secretary states that there was a structural problem with the building, and they opened an inquest after the death of Mr Yusuf. Since the issue involves...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this special Motion by Hon. Junet. We come from 42 different nationalities in this nation, the many and the few. Some have never had the privilege of holding office, let alone senior offices like Deputy President or President. However,...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to ask the Prime Cabinet Secretary about Kenyans registering themselves at the Kenyan Embassy in Saudi Arabia. Apparently, of all the problems we see emanating from different regions, Saudi Arabia is the worst. How much registration takes place? Secondly, we signed a...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a case of clear murder of an elder. I believe that something is already in progress. However, without waiting for the House to resume in May, once I receive the Statement from my colleague, we will escalate the matter to the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will indulge my good colleague from Navakholo, so that we get more information from him. At the same time, they say justice delayed is justice denied. It has taken a while and for that reason, we will give a response to the House in the second...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Hon. Colleague who has presented this request for a Statement is a lawyer just like you are. The issue borders on a civil case. I do not want to put the cart before the horse, therefore, allow us to respond two weeks...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to thank Hon. Njeri for this request for a Statement. Last week, we engaged the Cabinet Secretary, Interior and National Security, and today, in passing, the Prime Cabinet Secretary 30th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 70 alluded to the issue of...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This appears to be a classic case of homicide. That is why, as a Committee, we have been fighting to have the forensic laboratory up and running because if a murder takes place in an inhabited forest, it requires a scientific approach and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Speaker directed that we give an interim report to this. It is the property of the House and we want to give a response.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for indulging me. The Member of Parliament for Kilgoris Constituency, Hon. Julius Sunkuli, requested for a Statement regarding the land clashes in Angata Barikoi. The Member particularly sought to be informed as follows:

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. When I read this Protocol, I thought there would be no debate about whether we would ratify the Treaty establishing the IGAD because we are part of the greater Horn of Africa. We are on the Indian Ocean rim. We occupy both a strategic and...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support this Petition by Hon. Kitayama. It is about the rights of minorities. In this country, the Bill of Rights

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have heard what Hon. Gitari is seeking. Last week, when Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, appeared before the House, he addressed himself to that issue. Additionally, he appeared before the Committee on Tuesday. He gave us...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. The Member of Parliament for Marakwet was in the House when the Cabinet Secretary said he needed Ksh2.5 billion to operationalise every administrative unit that has been gazetted. So the onus is on us. If we are ready to give him the...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the Member has made a substantive request. His constituency borders our neighbouring country and is under a serious security threat. Although we will share the Statement with the Ministry, I ask him also to engage the Committee. We need to make...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Cabinet Secretary responded to the Statements sought by Hon. Kakai Bisau and Hon. Hussein Barre of Tarbaj on Tuesday. The responses were comprehensive, and my colleagues were satisfied. I have two other statements which were not responded to, one by Hon. Amina Dika, the...

Yes, she is in the House.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Member of Parliament for Tana River County, Hon. Amina Dika, requested a Statement on the disappearance of Abdullahi Ahmed Mohamed of ID No. 42848612, a resident of Ngumu Village, Tana River County. The Member particularly sought to be informed on: 24th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We mulled over this issue of registration, and it is true that some people can operate with fake number plates or fabricate them. That could be the difficulty with NTSA. However, we will not stop at that. We will demand answers from NTSA...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe we are well guided on that matter. As committees, we do not take it for granted that Members ask questions and that the responses brought here are frivolous. We will go the full mile to establish the issues that are missing. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Member of Parliament for Nyeri County, Hon. Rahab Mukami, requested a Statement regarding the recent murder of a patient in Kenyatta National Hospital. The Member particularly sought to be informed on: 24th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 29 C, Cube Two. The...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank Hon. Mukami for raising this statement. When we read through what the police provided, the crime scene resembles that of James Hadley Chase, where a fellow killed a patient in a hospital ward and walked away without being noticed or anyone...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My colleague has raised something fundamental. Earlier, I said that if criminals can walk into a ward and kill a patient at Kenyatta National Hospital, the top hospital in Kenya, one must ask how safe other patients are. It could be your son,...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Makali is an economist, not a security person. From a security point of view, when you report a crime, you are actually the first suspect, and the police will start with you. That is how security is enhanced or issues are pursued....

I am also on a point of order. 24th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 31 He is responding to a point of order. Hon. Temporary Speaker, she can be on a point of order on something else, not this one, because I am an expert on this one. On what...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. With the benefit of the doubt to the Chairman, these answers come from the Ministry. There is the famous Lake Turkana Wind Power that generates 360 megawatts for the national grid. The reason the community went to Court is exactly what KenGen is...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. With your facilitation, we were able to provide this House with a very detailed report. Currently, the area that is experiencing a lot of problems is Baringo, while in most of the regions like Turkana, Samburu, Isiolo, and Marsabit, the guns are largely silent....

That is in order. In two weeks, we will probably be gone for recess. Immediately after recess, Hon. Speaker. First Sitting after recess. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Actually, these Miraa transportation vehicles should not be on Kenyan roads. They should have their special roads. For those of us who use the Nairobi-Isiolo-Marsabit Road, you must give way once you come across Miraa transportation vehicles. They neither obey the traffic rules nor...

I am here, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Raso, you are replying, right? Go ahead. I am Hon. Tongoyo in another capacity. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank all Members who have contributed to this Motion on the State of Security in the Six Counties of...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs in its Report on the vetting of a nominee for appointment as Principal Secretary, State Department for National Government Coordination, laid on the Table of...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It was really the thing when Hon. Saney talked very passionately about the Ajuran and the people of the North. Inclusivity is the solution to Kenya's problems. We will marginalise others when we live in exclusivity. I must thank His Excellency the President...
