RASSO, DIDO ALI.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to eulogise two great Kenyans. I served with Hon. Suleiman Murunga in the 11th Parliament. He is somebody who brought simplicity and finesse leadership. Wherever I saw him around, I always thought Hon. Murunga was a Member of Parliament in Nairobi...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This morning, we had an extensive discussion with the Inspector-General of Police and commanders of the National Police Service. The major reason of our discussion, to the extent that we went into camera, was to address the rising insecurity. We believe it is...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in congratulating Hulder. In fact, last year in October 2023, we visited the Minnesota State Parliament and she was among those who contacted us. Actually, for the first time, we were able to see first-hand that the three arms...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has stood in his place to cast aspersions on the success of a lady in far waters. Is he in order to say that the State legislature is just like a county assembly? That is not the Kenyan equivalent. That...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to respond to a request for Statement regarding abduction of persons in Garissa Township. The Member of Parliament for Garissa Township Constituency, Hon. Barrow Dekow, requested a Statement regarding the abduction of four persons from Garissa Town: Mohamed Abdullahi Hirey, Mohamed...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the Statement given by the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, it is clear that abduction of citizens by authorities linked to the Government is not within the policy of the Kenyan Government. This is because we believe in the rule...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the matter raised by Hon. Sunkuli is a national security concern. Going further, it is within the realm of NGOs. Most likely, they might have been allowed to operate in Kenya by the NGOs Coordinating Board. We will give a brief...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I represent the pastoralists in this Parliament; and over 90 Members of Parliament who come from the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) . There is a lot of money in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development in the ASALs name, but it...

We will respond in two weeks, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to respond to a request for statement that was raised yesterday by Hon. Chonga. There is enough evidence that the County Commissioner and the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) are aware about what the Hon. Member raised about that family. Just because they...

I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is fundamental. It is about human rights, the protection of lives, and the sanctity of life, which is enshrined in our constitution. But I think I will need two weeks after the recess to respond. Thank you.

I think this is a hot issue in the country. Youngsters do not have anything. They live with their parents. They are told that to get an identification card, they must pay for it. I think it is something that we have not yet reached that stage, even as a...

Yes, Hon. Speaker. In two weeks, after recess.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Much obliged.

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Raso? Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I respect your Ruling on this matter. But as the Chairperson has already affirmed, this is a human resource issue, and what Hon. Bidu is saying is...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Raso has a point of order. I will, therefore, give him the chance and then get back to the Chair, Hon. Koech. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Wamboka has said that the military is politicised. That is far...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Reports of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on its consideration of:

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There was a spat between the Pope and Napoleon in 1800. Napoleon asked, “Pope, how many divisions do you have?” Then the Pope replied “I have the Catholic Church”. During the interview yesterday, the Deputy President came up strongly to almost insinuate that this Parliament is...

Yes, Hon. Speaker. Go ahead. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to contribute to this Motion, and to why it is necessary for Kenya to sign this important Protocol that binds all African States. The first Organisation of African Union (OAU) Charter was signed on 25th May 1963...
