TONGOYO, GABRIEL KOSHAL

Hon. Speaker, being that these documents belong to the House, I beg to table with the Clerks-at-the-Table.

Hon. Speaker, I think I could follow the same suit because the only bit that was remaining was for the Cabinet Secretary to furnish the updated number of deaths, and that is why I have not included it with what I have submitted to the clerks. He had promised to...

Yes, I am. Go ahead. Hon. Speaker, the Member of Parliament for Eldas Constituency, Hon. Adan Keynan, requested for a statement regarding the disappearance of the Member of the County Assembly (MCA) for Della Ward, Hon. Yussuf Hussein. In particular, he sought to know the specific circumstances under which Hon....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to pick from where I left. On 13th September 2024, at around 21.40 p.m., Mr Wambua Kioko reported, through a phone call, vide OB No 8613/09/2024 the abduction of his passenger. The caller is an Uber driver and a resident of Embakasi. He stated...

Hon. Speaker, first of all, I indicated that I felt the frustration of the Members of the said County. Had you seen the letter whose copy Hon. Keynan has given you? I had not. It should be treated as an unverified document for now. The validity of the letter is...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, Tuesday next week. I suggest that the Member should consider it an abduction or a missing person, and be on record and classified as that.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, as much as I appreciate and I am equally concerned by the disappearance of our colleague, I also want to be considerate and practical. This afternoon may not be practical. In the bare minimum, kindly let me bring the statement tomorrow in the afternoon.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Keynan’s question was very specific. I seek your indulgence that the other issues be addressed by the Cabinet Secretary during Question Time. We should take that approach.

I think they are quite a number. Actually, the remaining six requests are all addressed to your Committee. Which one do you want to start with? Is it the one by the Member for Aldai? They are six. I can start with Hon. Marianne’s Request. Do we have to go...

And Hon. Makilap. (Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo consulted with Hon. Joseph Makilap) Hon. Tongoyo, desist from consulting with a Member. It is me who will give you permission. I am just explaining what you should do. You can ignore Hon. Makilap. Okay. Well guided.

Thank you. The Member for Aldai Constituency, Hon. Marianne Kitany, had requested for a statement regarding the Maendeleo ya Wanawake election. In specific, the Member particularly sought to be informed on certain things. One, the plan Maendeleo ya Wanawake has to call for elections at the earliest possible date. That...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is the response to the question that was asked by the Member for Embakasi West, Hon. Mark Mwenje, who had sought a statement regarding the fire incident in Nairobi County. He stated that on the 2nd August 2024, the market adjacent to Thika Road...

I still had one Statement, but if you allow me, I do not want to go back to what Members have said. But the issue of fire is not just the mandate of national Government. It is cross-cutting. It needs collaboration between all the players and sectors, including county governments,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I agree with the Member, we all know the issue of investigation. At times, you cannot predict the timelines. I, however, want to commit to the Member, Kenyans and this House, that the DCI Department will do anything humanly possible to provide justice to Frenda and...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs and the Senate Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on the approval hearings of Mr. Douglas Kanja Kirocho, nominee for...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I reply, I have one or two things to add. I take this opportunity to sincerely thank all Members from both sides of this House for debating this Motion with objectivity, and for the overwhelming support that they have given it. It is important to...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: Report of Joint Committee of the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security and the Senate Standing Committee on National Security Defence and Foreign Relation on the vetting of Mr. Douglas...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Joint Committee of the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security and the Senate Standing Committee on National Security Defence and Foreign Relation in its Report on...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will need your indulgence on this one considering that we will be going for recess tomorrow. I shall respond to this immediately we resume, unless you direct otherwise.

Should a response from the Ministry come earlier than that, beside tabling when we resume, I can still share with the concerned Members.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the inquiry into the state of security in the six counties of North Rift of Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet, Turkana, West Pokot, Samburu and Laikipia declared as disturbed...

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 Affairs on the Inquiry into the State of Security in the Six Counties of North Rift, Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet, Turkana, West Pokot, Samburu and Laikipia...

I am ready, Hon. Speaker STATEMENTS FACILITATION OF NATIONAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION OFFICERS Hon. Speaker, Hon. Oundo, the Member of Parliament for Funyula, had requested for a Statement to be informed on the criteria for and the status of distribution of Government vehicles to National Government Administrative Officers (NGAO) . Specifically,...

Hon. Speaker, I appreciate the counter response from the Members. In my opening remarks, I made it very clear that there is an acute shortage of motor vehicles. I said that this problem is not just in the sub-county of the concerned Member but it is in a majority of...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The next request for Statement is about an incident involving Kenya Wildlife Service personnel in Marsabit County, by the Hon. Member for Turkana Central. The Member requested for a detailed account of the incident, including circumstances that led to the excessive force used by...

Hon. Speaker, I think the issue that touch on the helicopter is just an allegation. It is not something that the Hon. Member can really prove. However, having said that, I understand the magnitude and seriousness of the matter. With your guidance, and taking into account the fact that we...

I appreciate. First, I apologise to the affected families and everyone who fell victim to the market fires. Hon. Speaker, you note that I have quite a number of un-responded to Statements and the reason being given by the Ministry is that majority of the Statements are prepared by the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Given the magnitude of the situation, I want to be given until Thursday, next week. Meanwhile, I want it to go on record that ever since this happened, the Hon. Member has been on my neck. As you know, he is very passionate about his community....

Two weeks, Hon. Speaker.

I have not received it from the Ministry, but I am still following it up. When can you bring the response? Can you do it next week? I will bring the response on Tuesday.

Yes, it was. I have not received the response yet. In fact, quite a number are in line. The Principal Secretary told me that he is working on them. They could be almost 10 in number. Yes. When can you bring a response to Hon. Oundo’s request for statement? Let...

I am well guided. I will. I also want to add that the State Department for National Disaster Management handles such situations, jointly coordinated by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Under which Committee does disaster management fall? Disaster management is not in my Committee. I think it is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you had already said, this is a response to the Hon. Member from Kathiani Constituency regarding the issue of the national security regulatory authority. The Honourable Member had sought responses to six issues. For the record, one, the Member wanted to know the constitutionality of...

On your directive, Hon. Speaker, I am well guided. In fact, you must have noted that we have been in conversation with the Chairman of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, and I think that is the spirit. But having said this, I think the big issue here is the cancellation...

Hon. Speaker, regarding what the Member was trying to allude to, the major concern was how the child was doing. The child is doing well and is supposed to be discharged from the hospital. The problem was the pending bill at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) . I managed to talk...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What the Treasurer of our Party has said is not in good faith. He has belittled our sister House. The Constitution clearly stipulates the procedure of vetting and approving the Inspector-General. It is done by both Houses of Parliament. The Constitution is very clear. If...

Thank you, Hon temporary Speaker. Before I respond as to when I will bring a response to the statement request, as clearly put by the Hon. Member, only yesterday, more or less the same matter was raised in this House by a Nominated Member from Garissa. I seek your indulgence...

I am well guided, Hon. Temporary Speaker. However, I want your indulgence considering that you are requesting that the request for statements be dealt with in a more comprehensive manner by the Members who will be appearing before the Committee. Will it then be necessary for me to bring a...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, you have appropriately guided us on the way forward. I am much obliged.
