WANGWE, EMMANUEL

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I wish to agree with the Chairperson on the issue of qualifying in terms of financial capability that you cannot be able to really estimate. Instead, it is good to leave it as open as the Committee has recommended in (2) (a) so that it...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I wish to agree with the Departmental Committee Chairman. His amendments are in line with what Hon. Oundo is proposing. We need to reject this amendment and align with the Committee’s amendment. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Thank you. Hon. Nyikal, Lastly.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This is just to emphasize on what Mheshimiwa Kemei has said. The gist of the whole Bill is on this Clause. Colleagues, it is important that we get it right. The sharing of resources that will come out of the Sugar Development Levy (SDL) should...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I just want to support the Chair of the Committee on that amendment. The Committee has put the period of solving a dispute to be within three months. The condition of three months is good. I support it. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David...

Thank you. Looking at the spirit of the Bill when we were here with Hon. Justice Kemei, Hon. Member for Tinderet and yourself, the spirit on that clause was that we do not condition private millers on who and how much or what percentage they are supposed to hold by...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This Clause is very important. Many a times, this Clause is anchored in the Regulations at the mercy of the Cabinet Secretary. He prepares the Regulations and then forwards them to Parliament for approval. It has been a game of cat-and-mouse. Now that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this amendment. Considering what has happened… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Just before you move, I request Hon. Melly and Hon. Nabii to talk. Go ahead. I thank Hon. Nabii and support this amendment which is coming at a time when...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is a very tricky issue. Colleagues, this is a very crucial issue. It has two elements. There is the element of inclusivity. We left out a crucial area, that is, Kisii. It is not covered. Using this matrix, we have lumped more in the lower region...

I want to share something with Hon. Nyikal before he indulges Hon. Temporary Chairman. If you look at Hon. Chairman’s proposal of sugar crop, it is not the way he has put it. It says: “Sugar crop means a crop grown for the purpose of sugar production first.” Then it...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Sugar Bill (National Assembly Bill No.34 of 2022) and its approval thereof with amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The House resumed) IN THE HOUSE [The temporary Speaker (Hon....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to Move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I also request Hon. Onyango K’oyoo to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House. Hon. James K’oyoo (Muhoroni, ODM) seconded.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. As Hon. Salasya said, this is a quasi-political clause which we need to decide on and move forward together. I support the proposal for the President to appoint the chairperson of the board. My colleagues may have a different idea, but I speak having also...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Sugar Bill (National Assembly Bill No.34 of 2022) and its approval thereof with amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The House resumed) IN THE HOUSE [The Temporary Speaker (Hon....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I also request Hon. Oundo Mudenyo, Professor, to second the Motion on agreement with the report of the Committee of the whole House.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My point of order is on discipline in the House. I raised this issue yesterday. It is important for us to grasp and understand what you are communicating to us. While you were making the Communication, our colleagues were walking in and conversing in loud...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. With your indulgence, I would like to donate one minute to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning; one minute to the Member of Lurambi, and one minute to the Member of Funyula, in that order. Thank you, Hon....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I had requested that you allow Hon. Oundo one minute. No. Timelines do not allow, please. Next time. You may proceed. Thank you very much. I really thank my colleagues most sincerely. Many of my colleagues took their time because they wanted to contribute. They could not...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise on a point of order to seek clarification on whether the Chief Whip of the Majority Party and the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation are in order to continue talking while you are on your feet. Are they exempt from the...

I support the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning in reducing the penalty from Ksh20 million to Ksh5 million. It is not that when you are fined more you will have to comply. Complying does not originate from the amount that is fined, but how flexible...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: First Report of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture on its consideration of the report of the Auditor- General on 23 non-compliant State corporations.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture on its consideration of the Report of the Auditor-General on 23 non-compliant State Corporations, laid on

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Wangwe, what is out of order? Remember that you are the Mover of this Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to clarify that, whereas the Leader of the Majority Party has spoken well, he has made it look like...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I salute my colleague, Hon. ‘Jalas’, for his wonderful thoughts. It is good to think for those who cannot think or speak for themselves. Hon. Odiwuor, it is great that you thought wisely on behalf of the dead, who cannot speak. Why am I supporting...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to Move that the Sugar Bill (National Assembly Bill No.34 of 2022) be now read a Second Time. (The Speaker (Hon. Moses Wetang’ula) left the Chair) (The Temporary Speaker 16th August 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 62 16th August 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 63 Hon. Temporary Speaker,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, allow me to appreciate the Report by the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education. I as well appreciate my colleague, the Hon. Member for Bumula, the Chairperson, for delivering such a strong Report on the Floor of the House. I also...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the great people of Navakholo and the entire ODM fraternity, where the late Hon. (Dr) Misoi worked, I wish to convey my sincere condolences to the community as a whole that he attended while serving as a Member of Parliament. The Swahili people...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to appreciate the Cabinet Secretary who has been our colleague. She is doing a very good job. Around 2016/2017, there were various programmes that were implemented through the Ministry of water, particularly the National Water Harvesting Programme which undertook various water boreholes in the...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Wangwe? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. When Hon. Kagombe was walking in, you did mention that unless he justifies his headgear, he is improperly dressed. That instruction is hanging. We do not know whether you meant that he leaves the House or...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to oppose the Finance Bill 2023 on two grounds. The first one is the petroleum issue. I want to be very clear that the petroleum cost has been shifting from 8 per cent to 16 per cent. My concern is that the current Government...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. A lot has been said, especially by the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Maybe, Members are missing certain points. The money allocated to each Vote follows the programmes under the Vote. There are more than eight directorates under the same office....
