MULU MAKALI

On a Point of Order. Hon. Makali, you had not pressed the intervention button earlier. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was trying to catch your eye, but when you finish reading the Motion and you are still standing it makes it very difficult for us to say something. What the House...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think Hon. Nyikal has put it better than me. What we are just saying is as people from this side. We are Kenyans and Kenyans do listen to a lot of these debates. I have no problem. I support this Motion. When we discuss...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I have been in this House for the last 12 years. I have served in two Parliaments, and this is the third one. I want to remind my colleagues who are Chairpersons and those in the House Leadership, that we have seen committee chairpersons...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I start by wishing you and all the Members a happy New Year. We agree with your direction, and we will respect it, but I think it is also important to learn the lessons. On 5th December, as the head of this independent institution...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have listened to the response of the Statement. We thank God because one body was found. Communities and parents are going through a very hard and traumatising time as a result of what is happening in the country. Too many people have...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also support the Petition and thank the Petitioner for bringing out this issue. What the Petitioner is demanding from the NHIF is accountability. Now that we are shifting to a new Fund in one year, it is important that this matter is sorted early enough...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Before I comment on Petition No.1, it looks like we have a challenge with the system on this side. After you press, it keeps going off. We have to keep on pressing. I want to request those who are concerned to address this...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Makali? Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am following up on what the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has said that almost every clause in the Bill is being amended. Would it...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, what you have said is very correct. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has said that the substance of the Bill has not changed. However, if, for example, you have 20 clauses in that Bill and 18 of them have been amended...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I have listened to my colleagues discussing political neutrality, whereby you exclude the CECMs, Cabinet Secretaries and others. The truth of the matter is that those people work under the ones that we are excluding. I am not sure whether the word "political neutrality" has...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I also support the amendment. Kenyans must be made aware of what has been rejected by this House. At the same time, I request that we have a way in which the House is informed on regulations that are approved at the committee level. The...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I do not wish to comment on this amendment. I will do so on the next one. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : Hon. Jared Okello, are you on a point of order or do you want to make a statement?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I have two issues. First, I want to thank my Chairperson for what he has said. Second, if we had moved the House in that direction, we would have killed this Bill at Order No.8 by voting no. So, we would have no need for...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me first thank the Chairperson for moving the Motion well. We are discussing a very important matter to this country. As we are all aware, public debt has become the elephant in the room. Every Kenyan and every Government official is talking...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I want to thank Hon. (Capt) Ruweida for bringing this important amendment. When I look at this proposed amendment, I see what we call effective representation. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not know whether you...

On a point of order.

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. We hear the Chair referring to some sheets being circulated. We have not seen them. I do not know whether he is the only one who has them or they need to be given to Members.

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I thank the Chairperson for this amendment. I want to go on record that despite the fact that we are moving amounts of money from one Vote to another, some amounts seem to be too huge to be amended at this level. For example, in (c)...
