NYIKAL WAMBURA JAMES

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the two nominees. I must appreciate you for allowing us to discuss the two nominees. That is the role of the House as a debating institution. I support the two nominees. The Committee’s Report indicates that both of them fully qualify. As...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I am also of the opinion that this State Department is underfunded. This is the most critical department for performance contracting. In the past, performance contracting enabled superb delivery under the coalition Government because of the performance of this department. They should put in place...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Firstly, I appreciate the fact that for the first time, the National Police Service has a Vote they control themselves. Secondly, they should make effort to have programmes so that it is easy to evaluate them. Thirdly, they have big problems with infrastructure. There are...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for making me a third joyrider. I appreciate what our former colleague is doing and how complex the work is. However, in reality, if you spent time especially when we were on recess to go around the constituencies, you would realise that we have a very...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. The Chair of our Committee has indicated the decision of the Committee. Mine is to emphasise some of those decisions. In general principle, this is a Bill that would be very important for the country, but in reality, the issues...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion on the ratification of the Hague conventions relating to matters of children. These are very important conventions. First, they are in line with the United Nations (UN) Convention on the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute. Considering what we see, this is an extremely good Bill. We are not aware of the existing legislation which is not implemented. Its purpose was to regulate the boda boda and tuk-tuk taxi industries. Those two services are...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While appreciating the measures that the Government has taken, I would like to ask the Prime Cabinet Secretary some questions on energy. Energy is probably one of the biggest drivers of cost of living. I did not get any information on power and how the Government...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was the second person in this Chamber. I put my card in early. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. This is a national calamity and issue. The people who have died are not just from Lamu or Malindi, but from across...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the appointment of Hon. Ogindo as the Chairperson of the Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. This is someone we know. He has been with us in this House. He has held important...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Today, we are discussing an extremely important issue: cholera cases in four schools in different parts of the country; typhoid in a school where three people have died and, in Butere, an unknown disease mostly presenting with diarrhoea and vomiting....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also appreciate the Cabinet Secretary for being the first to answer Questions in this House. The Question was for the Cabinet Secretary to explain why mothers in public hospitals, especially mama linda… (Laughter) Order. Dr. Nyikal does not have a personal secret. Yes. Why are...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. First of all, my point of order is… What is out of order first of all Hon. Nyikal? What is out of order is this: He is mentioning people’s names who are not in the House and in a negative way. Yesterday, your counterpart, Hon....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Power is everything in industry, agriculture, health, communication, e-communication, and information and Technology (IT) . There is nothing you can do without power. So, power is development. If the cost of power is high then...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Noise and name-calling will not serve this House. Demonstrations and picketing are in the law and in the Constitution. When it is going on, it is the duty of the police to maintain order. What happens in a demonstration depends on two groups of people—the...

I was saying if we want peace in this country, let the principle that says the minority to have their say as the majority have their way stand. If we get into a situation where the mood of the house stops some from debating difficult issues, we have no other...
