MBUI, ROBERT

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I find this debate a little misplaced, because I do not know whether as a House we are supposed to be discussing court rulings. I thought what we generally do with court rulings is implement them. We have spent the whole...

Hon. Speaker, I was only trying to claim my position as the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party based on the ruling that we read from the court. The issue of the Majority and Minority parties, which is what we are discussing, is not an issue that is supposed to...

On a point of order.

Hon. Speaker, today is a Special Sitting, even though we are supposed to be in recess. I have just reviewed the Order Paper before us, and it does not conform to the purpose of the Special Sitting. The afternoon session only lists the appointment consideration for nominees to the Salaries...

Yes it is.

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Robert Mbui. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to seek your indulgence. We have just one week to the close of business of this House this year. I note that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and maybe the National...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. I will be very brief. I also rise to support because, from 2010, when our new Constitution was promulgated, one of the most important things that came up was the devolution of powers and functions. Schedule Four is very clear about the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to also add my voice to this amendment to the Public Finance Management Act. First, I want to agree with and support the amendment of Section 194 of the Principle Act, which is Clause 3 of this Bill. This section basically talks about...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to also support this Bill. Such Bills are very important. In fact, this is really what is meant to cure corruption. If procurement of goods and services is done in the right manner, then we can get rid of all...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. There is a technical hitch with the system. I rise to add my voice and not to praise the Address by His Excellency the President. I hesitate to paint a rosy picture because the public is unhappy. Numbers do not lie. When we talk about...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I request that you confirm from the Hansard records.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your indulgence. First, I apologise for coming in after the Cabinet Secretary to ask this Question. I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary—

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Allow me first to inform the Cabinet Secretary that Members of Parliament do not construct classes. I have heard that, but we do not want it to go on record. It is NG-CDF that does that, but not Members of Parliament....

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, the Cabinet Secretary referred to regulations on macadamia. I want him to confirm whether they were gazetted and tabled in Parliament within the statutory timelines. Secondly, can he assure the country that he has sealed all the loopholes for possible production or sale of...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Cabinet Secretary for confirming that there will be no fake fertiliser going forward. However, I want him to confirm that… You know, earlier on, the Cabinet Secretary had indicated that there were regulations. He has just confirmed that, actually, there...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this Bill. KRA is Kenya’s tax collector. We must be very careful as a House any time we are dealing with matters taxation, even when it seems it is an easy thing. It cannot...

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining regarding the status of implementation of the Government’s directive on removal of asbestos roofing from all buildings in...

Hon. Speaker, I wanted to propose something they could consider. Something happens when people are told to remove asbestos. People still have to seek approval from NEMA to remove the same asbestos that NEMA has already asked them to remove. That costs money. The National Constructions Authority (NCA) , which...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Listening to the arguments that have been made here this afternoon and earlier in the morning, I have noticed that it is getting a little personal and I am feeling a little jittery. The subject is a person who is a family man, with...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You know, I love the passion and the humour of the Leader of the Majority Party. I am also impressed by the energy, the vigour and the passion that I have seen in this House from this morning. This is the first Motion where the House...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the payment of last expense and group life insurance claim to the parents of the late Willy James...

I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Committee’s Report. I note that this position requires a very sober individual, who is qualified, experienced and understands the rule of law and democracy. One of the things they need to understand is the independence and interdependence of the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I wanted to just advise the Cabinet Secretary. You know, we are on The Hansard. There is a casual comment he made while answering the question on what has happened to the 14,171 students. He said that some of them are probably married. That remark...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Mbui. Because we are on The Hansard, I request the Cabinet Secretary to stop referring to Members using other terms. For example, he just referred to the Member as ‘my brother, Murugara’. He should refer to him appropriately.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 33 (1) (c) , I rise to seek leave for the adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding the implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum student transition. As enactment of the Competency...

Hon. Speaker, I second.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 33 (1) (c) , I rise to move this Motion of Adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a matter of definite urgent national importance regarding the implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) student transition. I want to, first, thank...
