TONGOYO, GABRIEL KOSHAL

Hon. Speaker, as you have rightly put it, the interest is so high. I will give a comprehensive response the first week after the short recess. I want to confirm that I actually discussed with Hon. Bonaya. When we were discussing the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) with the Ministry of...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join the rest of my colleagues and yourself in welcoming all the students visiting this august House to follow the proceedings first-hand. In particular, I welcome Olderkesi Secondary School, which is from my constituency. This is a school from the most remote part of...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this very important matter on the Consideration of the Supplementary Estimates II for the Financial Year 2024/25. At the outset, I most sincerely appreciate the Liaison Committee under the leadership of our very...

Protect me, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am almost winding up. Thank you for protecting me. There is also Ksh6 billion for equalisation in the same Second Supplementary Estimates. I know this is a very deserving sector. It goes a long way to help us. As I conclude, Hon. Temporary Speaker, you remember...

Hon. Speaker, I need your indulgence on this. From what I hear, the Hon. Member is talking about Kenyans being exported beyond our territorial boundaries. My honest opinion is that this could be better handled by the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations. Well, the question is about...

Hon. Speaker, I will respond in two weeks.

Hon. Speaker, we can respond to the Statement in two weeks.

I will do that, Hon. Speaker. You instructed us to call the Inspector-General on Monday over the Sakaja issue… You can combine this. I know we will have an opportunity to pass the same and if the Member wishes, he can as well maybe attend so that we are able...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to the Motion and support our brothers from Turkana County, specifically the Member who tabled this Adjournment Motion. 27th February 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 43 At the outset, I want to join the rest of the Members...

Well, guided, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 27th February 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 44 But you can see the sentiments of everyone, including the Chair, here. Yes, because it was supposed to be a Request for Statement, so that we respond to it or we visit the area and give a report....

Thank you. I have the microphone now. I can respond hopefully on Thursday next week.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to joyride on what my colleagues, Hon. Tonkei and Hon. Sunkuli, have said. It is true that the farmers of Narok were all over the streets on Monday protesting because of failure by the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) to uptake their...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am well guided. We will summon the Inspector-General of the Police to appear before the Committee next week on Thursday.

Hon. Speaker, I could not agree more. What surprises us is that such a matter should not have gone that far without the Inspector- General acting. It should not have taken this long. We will do exactly as you have directed. We should severely punish the perpetrators. That incident begs...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. At the outset, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to Hon. Masara for burning the midnight oil, traversing the whole country and researching intensively to bring this piece of legislation to...

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

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the inquiry into the state of security in six counties of North Rift of Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet, Turkana, West Pokot, Samburu and Laikipia,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join the rest of the Members who have already spoken to pass my condolences to the families of the two great leaders. They were, indeed, great leaders and committed servants of the people of this nation. I was privileged to have interacted closely with both...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a response to the Statement sought by the Member for Nandi Hills, Hon. Bernard Kitur. He wanted to know the status of the investigation relating to the kidnapping and torture of Mr Pasgalis Kosgei. He also wanted to know the steps taken by...

First and foremost, as much as I really understand the concern and the feeling of the concerned Member, the Statement is very express and clear that the inquiry file has been opened. That means that even members of the public are expected to report what they know so that police...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, one can never be precise on when. Because the inquiry file is open, he can as well help us to encourage members of the public to go and report because it can speed up and aid in the investigation.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am hopeful that by the time we come back from recess, there will be much progress made on the inquiry. We will then be able to respond appropriately.

Yes. I can see him in the House. I can see you, Hon. Member. Go ahead. Hon. Speaker, in response to the statement being sought by Hon. Nicholas Tindi Mwale, the Member for Butere, regarding the fight against drug trafficking in the country, I want to state as follows. The...

Hon. Speaker, it is hard to do because surveys are expensive. So, they are carried out periodically, maybe after two or three years. I will try to see if we have the latest data. The latest I see here is for 2021 by NACADA.

Hon. Speaker, the latest national survey was in 2022, but we will try to see whether there is a very recent one. Hon. Speaker, there is also a question on the number of accredited facilities that are undertaking rehabilitation. Miritini is one of the models we have in this country....

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 Financial Year 2023/2024 for the following State Departments:

Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on Budget Implementation for Financial Year 2023/2024 for the following State Departments, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 4th December 2024:

We will respond on resumption.

I am, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is in response to my very good neighbour here, Member of Parliament for Emuhaya, regarding a Statement he sought regarding the sporadic attacks in Emuhaya Constituency. In particular, he wanted to know the status report of investigation into the killing of one Nicodemus Alijo -...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I really feel the concern of the Member. It is very unfortunate that there have been more reported cases of death, even after this Statement was written. The Statement was very clear. There is an additional officer. If need be, the National Police Service will add...

Hon. Speaker, I will raise the issue with the Inspector General of Police. From what your colleague is saying, these are not just soft murders, they are brutal murders. Hon. Speaker, it is very regrettable. You know, other than this case, we have really had a spike in insecurity in...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yes, I do. (Loud consultations)

Hon. Speaker, in response to the request for Statement by the Member for Aldai, Hon. Marianne Kitany, concerning insecurity in her constituency, allegedly caused by change of security personnel, I wish to respond as follows: On 1st November 2024 at about 3.00 p.m., Mr Elkana Kiplagat Mugun, a businessman at...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I agree and she has a right. It is true the police arrested 14 suspects. It is good to appreciate that it is a constitutional right of any suspect to get released on bond, and that is exactly what happened. Are they out on bond or...
