Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) You will realise from what the Hon. Chairman is giving us that we had allocated Ksh1.4 billion at some point, just at the onset of this Parliament. We are now struggling to raise just about Ksh300 million for this very critical area. I do not...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I agree with you. I can substantiate this. The Deputy President contributed Ksh10 million. Felix Koskei contributed Ksh5 million. The list goes on and on. The President also committed Ksh100 million to the Africa Inland Church (AIC) in Marsabit. I am even...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, what will surprise you is that Kenyans of goodwill are willing to donate blood all over the country. Some of them are even ready to forego refreshments after donating blood when they are told to bring their own. Some are willing to...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I note that the Principal Secretary has admitted to the acute shortage of blood testing kits and reagents in the country. He has explained that this is due to budget shortfalls. At the point I raised this question, we had...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Report. The Report of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) correctly identifies several immediate operational impediments faced by Chapter 15 commissions, including inadequate budgetary allocation, insufficient parliamentary debate on annual reports, and poor representation at...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) We have deals…

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I dare say that this Report, if followed, will be like lighting a matchstick in a gas station. We have many ways to lower the cost of power in this country. Let us not talk about IPPs anymore because they have held...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for protecting me from that sibling rivalry. The cost of power in Kenya is prohibitive. There is a very serious connection between the cost of power and ease of doing business in this country. The cost of power has caused...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am on the Floor, and I cannot be guided on what to say on the Floor.

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am not aware that my good friend, Canon, Hon. Naomi Waqo, speaks for the Executive. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Omboko Milemba) No, Hon.

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not think it is right for the leadership...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am surprised... The Temporary Speaker (Omboko Milemba) Do not waste your time. Speak to the matter on the Floor. Hon.

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have been a Speaker of an Assembly, and I can assure you that... The Temporary Speaker (Omboko Milemba) Order!

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand for integrity, transparency and accountability. If this system were to help this country enhance its transparency and accountability, I would be the first person to vote for it and support it. I would not be supporting...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Could the Cabinet Secretary—

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Could the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Health clarify whether there is an outstanding debt amounting to Ksh450 million owed to Consolata Hospital Mathari, and Ksh433 million owed to Nyeri County hospital, including Ksh36.7 million for Mukurweini Hospital and Ksh236 million...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. May I start by thanking the Cabinet Secretary for the students from Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) , Mukurweini.

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Peter Kaluma) What is out of order, Hon. Kaguchia? Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, is it right for Hon. Kawanjiku to say that Kiambu County is no longer the pride...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you. I will take the shortest time possible so that I can yield some of my minutes to another Member. I want to point out that we, indeed, have a problem in our country in terms of maternal health. Just last week, the Cabinet...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to speak to this Motion. I have a big problem with the EAC. I recall that when the late Mwai Kibaki was the President of the Republic of Kenya, we mooted the idea...

Hon. Kaguchia John (Mukurweini, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. People in this Republic seem to think that the National Assembly is playing second fiddle to the Executive, and that its authority has been greatly watered down. Our people seem to think so because the Executive does not take any decision...
